Already a #1 bestselling author in England, Pratchett now gives his U.S. fans another taste of his tremendous talent in this fast-paced novel about the dark and mysterious man we call Death. When Death begins to question the P's and Q's of his job, he is officially retired, which leads to the kind of chaos that always ensues when a public service is withdrawn.
In the first of the Discworld series, the inept wizard Rincewind finds himself the reluctant escort of the Discworld's first tourist, Twoflower, and his magical Luggage.
