Synopsis "The Rince Cycle"

As a punishment, failed wizard Rincewind is given the task of guiding and safeguarding the Disc's first tourist, Twoflower (with his magical luggage on legs). As they travel the city and beyond, they meet the world's oldest hero, Cohen the Barbarian. With him, and with Bethan (a qualified sacrificial victim), they encounter druids, trolls, adventurers, a hairdresser and a power-crazed wizard. Oh, and Death. But not fatally. Did we mention that Rincewind also has to save the world from destruction by a huge red star that will collide with the Discworld at Hogswatch? The Rince Cycle is mostly based on The Light Fantastic, with bits of The Colour of Magic and Sourcery added for good measure.

He was a famous English writer who for over three decades has fascinated millions of readers around the world with his fantastic, funny, and satirical novels. His prolific work includes about seventy books, which have been translated into almost forty languages, and has sold more than eighty-five million copies worldwide.

In 2009, he was knighted by the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire for his services to literature. His secret? Nothing escaped the smart, relaxed, and ironic gaze of this author who, in the best British satirical tradition, subverted all genres. In addition to being the creator of Discworld and the series of stories set there, he is the author of the standalone novel Dodger and co-author, with Stephen Baxter, of the Long Earth series.
