The second Discworld novel and second in the Wizards series - revamped with a fresh bold look targeting a new generation of fantasy fans. 'Darkness isn't the opposite of light, it is simply its absence . . . what was radiating from the book was the light that lies on the far side of darkness, the light fantastic.' The Discworld is in danger, heading towards a seemingly inevitable collision with a malevolent red star. It needs a hero. What it doesn't need is Rincewind, an inept and cowardly wizard who is still recovering from the trauma of falling off the edge of the world. Or Twoflower, the well-meaning tourist whose luggage has a mind (and legs) of its own.Which is a shame, because that's all there is . . . 'Incredibly funny, compulsively readable' The TimesThe Light Fantastic is the second book in the Wizards series, but you can read the Discworld novels in any order.
