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.

The Last Hero

Not my favorite of the DiscWorld that I've read so far. It was a little bit weak in the premise and the execution. The series definitely has some highlights in it, but I didn't find this book particularly great. Even though Cohen was a decent character in the other book I read with him in it. Predictable and uninteresting. Glad there is a lot more of the series to change my mind.

Self parody, but he’s a parodist so that’s alright.

Illustrations didn’t do much for me, and the embossed ones behind the text actually made reading the damn thing hard.

This contains the best line in all of Pratchett:

'...if we wanted people to fly, we would have given them wings...'
'You gave me wings when you showed me birds.’ 

This humanism, this awe at invention and will, is the heart of him.

With 16 pp. of new full-color illustrations, this Discworld tale from the bestselling author is sure to be the ultimate holiday gift for legions of Pratchett fans. The legendary Cohen the Barbarian gathers his old friends to embark on one final quest--he's going to climb the highest mountain in Discworld and meet the gods to settle some issues. Full-color illustrations.

A short but perfectly formed complete Discworld novel, fully illustrated in lavish colour throughout, THE LAST HERO is an essential part of any Discworld collection. It stars the legendary Cohen the Barbarian, a legend in his own lifetime. Cohen can remember when a hero didn't have to worry about fences and lawyers and civilisation, and when people didn't tell you off for killing dragons. But he can't always remember, these days, where he put his teeth . . . So now, with his ancient sword and his new walking stick and his old friends -- and they're very old friends -- Cohen the Barbarian is going on one final quest. He's going to climb the highest mountain in the Discworld and meet his gods. The last hero in the world is going to return what the first hero stole. With a vengeance. That'll mean the end of the world, if no one stops him in time.
