Many years ago I saw, in Bath, a very large American lady towing a huge tartan suitcase very fast on little ratty wheels which caught in the pavement cracks and generally gave it a life of its own.  At that moment the Luggage was born.  Many thanks to that lady and everyone else in places like Power Cable, Neb., who don't get nearly enough encouragement.

"DELIGHTFUL... LOGICALLY
ILLOGICAL AS ONLY
TERRY PRATCHETT CAN WRITE."
Anne McCaffrey


When last seen the singularly inept wizard Rincewind had fallen off the edge of the world.  Now, magically, he's turned up again, and this time he's brought the Luggage.

But that's not all...

Once upon a time, there was an eighth son of an eighth son who was, of course, a wizard.  As if that wasn't complicated enough, said wizard then had seven sons.  And then he had an eighth son - a wizard squared (that's all the math, really).  Who, of course, was a source of magic - a sourcerer.

"Pratchett demonstrates just how great the distance is between one- or two-joke writers and the comic masters whose work will be read into the next century."
Locus

"Superb."
Washington Post Book World

  • I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
  • Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
  • When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
  • When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
  • Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
