Description

“Discworld is more complicated and satisfactory than Oz. Truly original. Has the energy of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and the inventiveness of Alice in Wonderland . . . Pratchett creates a brilliant excess of delectable details!”  — A.S. Byatt

The 22nd installment in bestselling author Terry Pratchett's Discworld series — which has sold more than 23 million copies worldwide.

There's big trouble at the Unseen University, Ankh-Morpork's lone institute of higher learning. A professor is missing—and the one person who can find him is not only the most inept magician the school ever produced, but currently stranded on the unfinished down-under continent of Fourecks.

As the UU faculty tries to bring him back, Rincewind is having troubles of his own, thanks to a pushy mystical kangaroo trickster named Scrappy and a mob of Fourecks hooligans who are out to hang him. All his problems would be solved if he could just make it rain . . . for the first time ever. And if the time-traveling professors can get to the right millennium . . .

The Discworld books can be read in any order, but The Last Continent is the sixth book in the Wizards series.
