h/cvr blurb:
This is the Discworld's last continent, a completely separate
creation.
It's hot. It's dry . . . very dry. There was this thing once
called The Wet, which no one now believes in. Practically
everything that's not poisonous is venemous. But it's the best
bloody place in the world, all right?
And it'll die in a few days, except . . .
Who is this hero striding across the red desert? Champion sheep
shearer, horse rider, road warrior, beer drinker, bush ranger
and someone who'll even eat a Meat Pie Floater when he's _sober?_
A man in a hat, whose Luggage follows him around on little legs,
who's about to change history by preventing a swagman stealing
a jumbuck by a billabong?
Yes . . . all this place has between itself and wind-blown doom
is Rincewind, the inept wizard who can't even _spell_ wizard.
He's the only hero left.
Still . . . no worries, eh?
Terry Pratchett would like it to be known that _The Last Continent_
is not a book about Australia. It's just vaguely australian.
p/b blurb:

beer drinker, bush ranger, and someone who'll even eat a Meat
Pie Floater when he's sober.
A man in a hat whose luggage follows him on little legs. Yes,
it's Rincewind, the inept wizard who can't even spell wizard.
