Synopsis Rincewind, the protagonist of the first two Discworld books, returns in book five of a long-running humorous fantasy series. In the Discworld, the eighth son of an eighth son is a wizard. When the wizard Ipslore the Red breaks his vow of celibacy and has children himself, his eighth son is a sourceror, capable of frighteningly powerful, reality-changing magic. It's up to cowardly and incompetent wizard Rincewind, aided by expert barbarian thief/aspiring hairdresser Conina, to save the Discworld (again) by confronting the sourceror...who, by the way, is a mere 10 years old.

Publisher's Note
When last seen, the singularly inept wizard Rincewind had fallen off the edge of the world. Now magically, he's turned up again, and this time he's brought the Luggage. But that's not all.... 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 sorcerer.
