“Delightful. . . logically illogical as only Terry Pratchett can write.”—Anne McCaffrey Will the most unlikely hero in all of Discworld save the universe once again . . . or has his luck finally run out in this wildly funny installment in Sir Terry Pratchett’s internationally bestselling series, a hilarious mix of magic, mayhem, and Luggage. 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 sourcerer. Unseen University, the most magical establishment on the Discworld, has finally got its wish: the emergence of a wizard more powerful than they’ve ever seen. But be careful what you wish for . . . As the drastic consequences of sourcery begin to unfold, it’s up to one unlikely wizard to save them. Rincewind has survived a string of misadventures, including falling off the edge of the world—which is no mean feat when it’s flying through space on the back of a turtle and held up by four elephants. Now, he must take the University’s most precious artifact, the very embodiment of magic itself, and deliver it halfway across the Disc to prevent a mathematically blessed sourcerer from leading the wizards to dominate all of Discworld. Can Rincewind and his tiny band, including the carnivorous Luggage, stave off the Apocalypse? The Discworld novels can be read in any order, but Sourcery is the 3rd installment in the Wizards series and the 5th Discworld book. The other books in the Wizards collection include: The Color of Magic The Light Fantastic Eric Interesting Times The Last Continent Unseen Academicals
Reality Outside the Square with Adremolin, the Last Wizard of Oz explores the making of the universe in a new and relatively real way—one that is different to the one that we have been using for at least the last two thousand years. The dimensions used in theories to explain the universe with are modelled confusingly in two ways. On the outside of matter, we have modelled the dimensions with ten singular space dimensions and one singular time dimension. On the inside of matter, the same dimensions combine and are rolled up, forming the space-time reality that is now called the eleven-dimensional multiverse. Yet this way of understanding reality has led to the wrong conclusions, and therefore we have been searching for way too long in the wrong direction and so missed out in a logical way to understand reality. Now author Adremolin seeks to describe reality with two none-dimensional, inversely directed singulars. One singular is called “no matter,” and is like yin, and the other singular is called “dark matter,” and is similar to yang. This way of describing reality solves all the confusing problems we have encountered here on earth in the description of reality for the last several millennia.
There may be trouble ahead . . .

So Gerald must embark on a dangerous mission to uncover the troublemakers, before wedded bliss becomes international war. But going undercover isn't as easy as it looks, even with Melissande and Emmerabiblia for camouflage. Soon Gerald finds himself fighting for his life as well as world peace.
