"INGENIOUS, BRILLIANT, AND HILARIOUS."
Washington Post


Imagine, if you will...

a flat world sitting on the backs of four elephants who hurtle through space balanced on a giant turtle.  In truth, the Discworld is not so different from our own.  Yet, at the same time, very different... but not so much.


In this, the maiden voyage through Terry Pratchett's divinely and recognizably twisted alternate dimension, the well-meaning but remarkably inept wizard Rincewind encounters something hitherto unknown in the Discworld: a tourist!  Twoflower has arrived, Luggage by his side, to take in the sights and, unfortunately, has cast his lot with a most inappropriate tour guide - a decision that could result in Twoflower's becoming not only Discworld's first visitor from elsewhere... but quite possibly, portentously, its very last.  And, of course, he's brought Luggage along, which has a mind of its own.  And teeth.

Unadulterated fun...  Witty, frequently hilarious."
San Fancisco Chronicle

"[Pratchett is] an achingly funny fantasist who specializes on creating magical worlds just different enough from ours that the simililarities stand out at unexpected angles."

From amazon.com:

There is a distinct hint of Armageddon in the air. According to The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (recorded, thankfully, in 1655, before she blew up her entire village and all its inhabitants, who had gathered to watch her burn), the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact. So the armies of Good and Evil are amassing, the Four Bikers of the Apocalypse are revving up their mighty hogs and hitting the road, and the world's last two remaining witch-finders are getting ready to fight the good fight, armed with awkwardly antiquated instructions and stick pins. Atlantis is rising, frogs are falling, tempers are flaring. . . . Right. Everything appears to be going according to Divine Plan.

Except that a somewhat fussy angel and a fast-living demon -- each of whom has lived among Earth's mortals for many millennia and has grown rather fond of the lifestyle -- are not particularly looking forward to the coming Rapture. If Crowley and Aziraphale are going to stop it from happening, they've got to find and kill the Antichrist (which is a shame, as he's a really nice kid). There's just one glitch: someone seems to have misplaced him. . . .

First published in 1990, Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett's brilliantly dark and screamingly funny take on humankind's final judgment is back -- and just in time -- in a new hardcover edition (which includes an introduction by the authors, comments by each about the other, and answers to some still-burning questions about their wildly popular collaborative effort) that the devout and the damned alike will surely cherish until the end of all things.

"For lighthearted escape with a thoughtful center, you can't do better than... any... Discworld novel."
- Washington Post Book World


Terry Pratchett's profoundly irreverent novels, consistent number one bestsellers in England, have garnered him a revered position in the halls of parody along with Mark Twain, Kurt Vonnegut, Douglas Adams, and Carl Hiaasen.

"Pratchett has now moved beyond the limits of humorous fantasy, and should be recognized as one of the more sugnificant contemporary English language satirists."
- Publishers Weekly


In The Light Fantastic only one individual can save the world from a disastrous collision.  Unfortunately, the hero happens to be the singularly inept wizard Rincewind, who was last seen falling off the edge of the world....

"UNADULTERATED RUN.... WITTY, FREQUENTLY HILARIOUS."

"DISCWORLD TAKES THE CLASSIC FANTASY UNIVERSE THROUGH ITS LOGICAL, AND COMIC, EVOLUTION."
Cleaveland Plain Dealer


Death comes to everyone eventually on Discworld.  And now he's come for Mort with an offer the young man can't refuse.  (No leterally, can't refuse since being dead isn't exactly compulsory.)  Actually, it's a pretty good deal.  As Death's apprentice, Mort will have free board and lodging.  He'll get use of the company horse.  And he won't have to take any time off for family funerals.  But despite the obvious perks, young Mort is about to discover that there is a serious downside to working for the Reaper Man... because this perfect job can be a killer on one's love life.

"[Pratchett is] always clever, always funny, and always surprisingly timely....  His world is more than just an alternate universe - it's a delirious roller-coaster ride that never allows the reader to even consider getting off."

"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

"THINK J.R.R. TOLKIEN WITH
A SHARPER, MORE SATIRIC EDGE."
Houston Chronicle


Meet Granny Weatherwax, the most highly regarded non-leader a coven of non-social witches could ever have.  Generally, these loners don't get involved in anything, much less royal intrigue.  But then there are those times they can't help it.  As Granny Weatherwax is about to discover, though, it's a lot harder to stir up trouble in the castle than some theatrical types would have you think.  Even when you've got a few unexpected spells up your sleeve.

"Humorously entertaining... subtly thought-provoking."
Chicago Tribune

"Unadulterated fun... witty, frequently hilarious."
San Francisco Chronicle
