Discworld lives on in Unseen Academicals, the latest novel from Terry Pratchett. Delivering the trademark insight and humor readers the world over have come to expect from the purely funniest English writer since Wodehouse (Washington Post Book World), Unseen Academicals focuses on the wizards at Ankh-Morporks Unseen University, who are reknowned for many thingssagacity, magic, and their love of teatimeas they attempt to conquer athletics.

"Discworld: a wizards novel."--Page one of cover.

An interplanetary tourist called Twoflower joins up with a drop-out wizard whose spells only seem to work half of the time. Together they undertake a chaotic voyage through a crazy world filled with monsters and dragons, heroes and knaves.

"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. Unseen University, the most magical establishment on the Discworld, has finally got its wish: the emergence of a wizard more powerful than they've ever seen. But be careful what you wish for . . . As the drastic consequences of sourcery begin to unfold, it's up to one unlikely wizard to save them. Rincewind has survived a string of misadventures, including falling off the edge of the world - which is no mean feat when it's flying through space on the back of a turtle and held up by four elephants. Now, he must take the University's most precious artifact, the very embodiment of magic itself, and deliver it halfway across the Disc to prevent a mathematically blessed sourcerer from leading the wizards to dominate all of Discworld. Can Rincewind and his tiny band, including the carnivorous Luggage, stave off the Apocalypse? The Discworld novels can be read in any order but Sourcery is the 3rd installment in the Wizards series and the 5th Discworld book"--

?Discworld is more complicated and satisfactory than Oz . . . has the energy of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and the inventiveness of Alice in Wonderland . . . brilliant.??A. S. ByattWhen war, magic, politics, and one deliciously inept wizard collide, zany mayhem ensues in this delightful satire in Sir Terry Pratchett's internationally bestselling Discworld series.To the fine denizens of Discworld, the phrase ?May you live in interesting times? is a curse. No one wishes to hear those words, especially not Rincewind. The distinctly unmagical sorcerer has barely survived more than a few ?interesting times? and he isn't looking to experience any more. But when a request for a ?Great Wizzard? arrives in Ankh-Morpork via carrier albatross from the faraway Counterweight Continent, Rincewind is named emissary.The Agatean Empire's current ruler is on the brink of downfall, and chaos is all but certain to arise in the wake. For some incomprehensible reason, someone believes Rincewind will have a mythic role in the war and the ensuing bloodletting. Cohen the Barbarian and his extremely elderly Silver Horde are already hard at work planning for the looting and pillaging.Anyone can be a hero, but there's only one Rincewind?and he believes he owes it to the world to keep that one alive for as long as possible.The Discworld novels can be read in any order but Interesting Times is the 5th installment in the Wizards series and the 18th Discworld book.
