h/cvr blurb:
A sourcerer is born - a wizard so powerful that by comparison all
other magic is just mucking around in pointy hats.
And his very existence brings the Discworld, which is of course
flat and rides through space on the back of an enormous turtle, to
the very verge of all-out thaumaturgical war*.
All that stands in the way is Rincewind, the failed magician, who
wants to save the world, or at least that part of it which contains
him. More new characters join the Discworld adventure: Conina the
barbarian hairdresser, Nijel the Destroyer (whose mother still makes
him wear woolly underwear) and possibly the first yuppie genie, who's
into lamps as a growth area.
This time the adventure goes east, or hubwards, or whatever. It
doesn't simply draw heavily on _Omar Khayyam_, _Raiders of the Lost
Ark_, the _1001 Nights_ and every Arabian B-movie ever made, it
scribbles on them as well. . .
* A bad thing
p/b blurb:
There was an eighth son of an eighth son. He was, quite naturally,
a wizard. And there it should have ended. However (for reasons we'd
better not go into), he had seven sons. And then he had an eighth
son ... a wizard squared ... a source of magic ... a Sourcerer.
