There's big trouble at the Unseen University, Ankh-Morpork's lone
institute of higher learning. A professor is missing--and the one person
who can find him is not only the most inept magician the school ever
produced, but currently stranded on the unfinished down-under continent
of Fourecks.
As the UU faculty tries to bring him back, Rincewind is having troubles
of his own, thanks to a pushy mystical kangaroo trickster named Scrappy
and a mob of Fourecks hooligans who are out to hang him. All his
problems would be solved if he could just make it rain . . . for the
first time ever. And if the time-traveling professors can get to the
right millennium . . .
