The Last Hero

Author: Terry Pratchett

Cohen the Barbarian, ancient hero of the Discworld, decides to go out with a bang. Gathering his elderly comrades, he embarks on a final quest to return fire to the gods. Meanwhile, Leonard of Quirm invents a spacecraft, and the wizards of Unseen University realize they must stop Cohen to save the world. Pratchett’s wit shines as he weaves together heroic adventure, philosophical musings, and laugh-out-loud humor. A touching tribute to classic fantasy that will leave you both chuckling and contemplating life’s big questions.

Some humans would do anything to see if it was possible to do it. If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying 'End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH', the paint wouldn't even have time to dry.
