Orion The Last Hero

Pratchett's perceptive and laugh-out-loud Discworld series is a literary phenomenon. In The Last Hero, one aging hero with a grudge decides enough is enough. This brand-new paperback edition features a new text design, glorious illustrations by Paul Kidby, and a brand-new cover by artist Leo Nicholls.

Described as 'an enduring, endearing presence in comic literature' by The Guardian, it stars the legendary Cohen the Barbarian, a legend in his own lifetime. Cohen can remember when a hero didn't have to worry about fences, lawyers, and civilization, and when people didn't tell you off for killing dragons. But he can't always remember, these days, where he put his teeth.

Now, with his ancient sword, his new walking stick, and his old friends - and they're very old friends - Cohen the Barbarian is going on one final quest. He's going to climb the highest mountain in the Discworld and meet his gods. The last hero in the world is going to return what the first hero stole. That will mean the end of the world if no one stops him in time.
