The Last Continent (PAPERBACK)  | Released: 10 Oct 2013

Anything you do in the past changes the future. The tiniest little actions have huge consequences. You might tread on an ant now and it might entirely prevent someone from being born in the future. There's nothing like the issue of evolution to get under the skin of academics. Even if their field of expertise is magic rather than biology. With the best and most interfering minds of Unseen University somehow left in charge at a critical evolutionary turning point, the Discworlds last continent needs a saviour, who is this hero striding across the red desert? Sheep shearer, beer drinker, bush ranger and someone who'll even eat a Meat Pie Floater when he's sober. In fact, it's Rincewind, a wizard so inept he can't even spell wizard. He's the only hero left. Still no worries, eh?   About the Author Terry Pratchett is the acclaimed creator of the global bestselling Discworld series, the first of which, The Colour of Magic, was published in 1983. In all, he is the author of over fifty bestselling books. His novels have been widely adapted for stage and screen and he is the winner of multiple prizes including the Carnegie Medal as well as being awarded a knighthood for services to literature.
