      Posledný kontinent Plochozeme je kategória sama osebe. Je tam horúco, sucho... veľmi sucho. Kedysi tam bolo niečo, čo volali Mokro, ale dnes už naň nikto neverí. Všetko, čo v tých končinách nie je jedovaté, je smrtiace. Ale inak je to bohovská paráda, fakt v pohode miesto. Až na to, že o niekoľko dní zhynie. Alebo že by nie? Ktože je ten hrdina pochodujúci červenou púšťou? Šampión v strihaní oviec, jazdec na koni, cestný pirát, hltač piva, slávny lupič, niekto, kto dokonca celkom za triezva zje utopenca? Muž v klobúku, za ktorým cupitá jeho Batožina, sa chystá zmeniť dejiny. Áno... jediné, čo delí toto čarovné miesto od súdneho dňa, je Vetroplaš, neschopný čarodejník, ktorý má aj na klobúku pravopisnú chybu. On je posledný hrdina. Ale inak... v pohode, nie?

      The Ghost in the bone-white mask who haunts the Ankh-Morpork Opera House was always considered a benign presence—some would even say lucky—until he started killing people. The sudden rash of bizarre backstage deaths now threatens to mar the operatic debut of country girl Perdita X. (nee Agnes) Nitt, she of the ample body and ampler voice. Perdita's expected to hide in the chorus and sing arias out loud while a more petitely presentable soprano mouths the notes. But at least it's an escape from scheming Nanny Ogg and old Granny Weatherwax back home, who want her to join their witchy ranks. Once Granny sets her mind on something, however, it's difficult—and often hazardous—to dissuade her. And no opera-prowling phantom fiend is going to keep a pair of determined hags down on the farm after they've seen Ankh-Morpork.

    • 'A foot on the neck is nine points of the law' There are many who say that the art of diplomacy is an intricate and complex dance. There are others who maintain that it's merely a matter of who carries the biggest stick. The oldest and most inscrutable (not to mention heavily fortified) empire on the Discworld is in turmoil, brought about by the revolutionary treatise What I did on My Holidays . Workers are uniting, with nothing to lose but their water buffaloes; warlords are struggling for power - and what the nation wants, to avoid terrible doom for everyone, is a wizard. Rincewind is not the Disc’s premier wizard – in fact, he can’t even spell ‘wizard’ – but no-one specified whether competence was an issue. And they do have a very big stick… Mighty Battles! Revolution! Death! War! (And his sons Terror and Panic and daughter Clancy). Alternate cover edition for ISBN 9781407034966

    • Death comes to us all. When he came to Mort, he offered him a job. After being assured that being dead was not compulsory, Mort accepted. However, he soon found that romantic longings did not mix easily with the responsibilities of being Death's apprentice.
