Something is amiss at Unseen Unversity, Ankh-Morpork's most prestigious (i.e., only) institution of higher learning. A professor is missing—but a search party is on the way! A bevy of senior wizards will follow the trail wherever it leads—even to the other side of Discworld, where the Last Continent, Fourecks, is under construction. Imagine a magical land where rain is but a myth and the ordinary is strange and the past and present run side by side. experience the terror as you encounter a Mad Dwarf, the Peach Butt, and the dreaded Meat Pie Floater.Feel the passion as the denizens of the Last Continent learn what happens when rain falls and the rivers fill with water (it spoils regattas, for one thing). Thrill to the promise of next year's regatta, in remote, rustic Didjabringabeeralong. It'll be asolutely gujeroo (no worries).

didn't quite do it for me

mm, i love rincewind, so i did enjoy this book, but i'm sure it's not one of Pratchett's best. i don't know if it's my lack of feelings about Australia, or maybe the real life events that took place smack in the middle of my reading this, but it was a solid MEH from me. i felt like it wasn't as funny as other Discworld novels, but it also didn't seem to have anything serious to say, so i'm kind of left wondering what the point of it was.
