The wizard Rincewind does Australia (or a fantastical approximation thereof) in this entry in the long-running Discworld series. After the events of INTERESTING TIMES, the cowardly and untalented wizard Rincewind has become marooned on the continent of EcksEcksEcksEcks, a strangely dry land populated by kangaroos, sheep, lots of beer in cans, and natives who speak in a bizarre, nearly incomprehensible slang. But despite these unfamiliar circumstances, Rincewind is still doing what he does best--being blamed for things he hasn't done, being attacked by strange creatures, and running away very, very fast.
