Synopsis "the last hero,a discworld fable"

Cohen the Barbarian.He's been a legend in his own lifetime.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 can't always remember just where he put his teeth...So now, with his ancient (yet still trusty) sword and new walking stick in hand, Cohen gathers a group of his old -- very old -- friends to embark on one final quest. He's going to climb the highest mountain of Discworld and meet the gods.It's time the Last Hero in the world returns what the first hero stole. Trouble is, that'll mean the end of the world, if no one stops him in time.

In 2009, he was knighted by the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire for his services to literature. His secret? Nothing escaped the smart, relaxed, and ironic gaze of this author who, in the best British satirical tradition, subverted all genres. In addition to being the creator of Discworld and the series of stories set there, he is the author of the standalone novel Dodger and co-author, with Stephen Baxter, of the Long Earth series.
