The Last Hero

The Last Hero takes place in Terry Pratchetts 'Disk World' Universe. Disk World is a world "on the back of four elephants perched on the shell of a giant turtle." because, the advantage of space is that its big enough to hold practically anything, and so it does. The last hero is one of those 'hitchikers guide-esque', cracked out satires that is so far from anything normal or sane that it is amazing the authorcan make connections back to satirize our world, but he does.

I adore Terry Pratchett. 'Good Omens' is my favorite book. The Last Hero is pretty cool. It tells the story of the last hero in Disk World, whose gotten pretty up there in years. "He can remember the good old days of high adventure, when being a hero meant one didn't have to worry about aching backs and lawyers and civilization.
But these days, he cant always remember where he put his teeth." And so our elderly protaganist sets out to end the world in a blaze of glory br returning fire to the gods. Who are completely insane aswell. I have yet to finish 'The Last hero' too, I have a pretty busy spring break ahead of me.
