Review Summaries
"Rincewind is back - champion sheep shearer, horse rider, road warrior, beer drinker and bush ranger. Can he save Discworld's Lost Continent with his usual ineptitude? No worries, mate! Not a book about Australia - just "vaguely australian"."
Liza Higgins, Resident Terry Pratchett Scholar
