Terry Pratchett satirizes Chinese and Japanese culture and Maoist Communism in this humorous fantasy, part of the multi-volume Discworld series. The incapable and cowardly wizard Rincewind is rescued from a life of glorious boredom on a remote island and unwillingly transported to the Agatean Empire, a repressive regime ruled by a dying, insane emperor, his ambitious, extremely dangerous Grand Vizier, and several feuding noble clans. Once there, Rincewind discovers that his old companion, the tourist Twoflower, has written a highly colored account of their adventures together and that a very polite band of peasant guerrillas is using it as a revolutionary document. To make matters worse, they expect Rincewind--described in the book as the Great Wizzard--to lead their rebellion. Meanwhile, the geriatric Cohen the Barbarian and his band of equally aged heroes, the Silver Horde, decide to invade.

Set in the same region of space, but 30,000 years earlier than Vinge's Hugo Award-winning A FIRE UPON THE DEEP, this novel explores culture clash on a galactic scale. Two separate human fleets approach a remote planet with very different purposes--one looking to trade, the other to enslave. When conflict leaves both fleets crippled, they are forced to drift in space for years until the aliens that inhabit the planet develop technology capable of rescuing them. The aliens, though, have an agenda of their own.

Up to about 1945, he shows a fine ability to select poems that are characteristic of their authors yet surprising, distinctive without being self-parodic. And if there's sometimes a whiff of perversity about his neglect of obvious merit...he gives his readers a feast that is satisfying as well as spectacular....[Ricks's] OXFORD BOOK pays the honourable price of refusing to dumb down....[H]is selection of poems is rewardingly the work of an exceptional critic.
