And now an ancient bequest means the wizards of Unseen University must win a football match, without using magic. Until a Dimwell fan falls for a Dolly Sisters girl. Each area has its own team – and rivalry means supporters never mix. Unseen Academicals ‘Two households, both alike in dignity, in fair Ankh-Morpork, where we lay our scene…’ Football divides the city. Did we mention that Rincewind also has to save the world from destruction by a huge red star that will collide with the Discworld at Hogswatch? The Rince Cycle is mostly based on The Light Fantastic, with bits of The Colour of Magic and Sourcery added for good measure. With him, and with Bethan (a qualified sacrificial victim), they encounter druids, trolls, adventurers, a hairdresser and a power-crazed wizard. As they travel the city and beyond, they meet the world’s oldest hero, Cohen the Barbarian. The Rince Cycle As a punishment, failed wizard Rincewind is given the task of guiding and safeguarding the Disc’s first tourist, Twoflower (with his magical luggage on legs). In a city teeming with vampires, werewolves, dwarfs with attitude and golems, Vimes must solve the crimes and save the Patrician. He and his team must question everyone – the butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker. Commander Vimes, Head of the City Watch, is a man who hates ‘clues’. But it’s not just Vetinari – across the city, people are being murdered, but there’s no trace of anything alive having been at the crime scene. No one knows who, no one knows why and, worst of all, no one knows how – he just gets weaker and weaker.
