The Last Hero	comment	The 27th Discworld story, the text is roughly the length of a short novel, but each page features lavish illustrations by Paul Kidby, providing much amusing side info (such as a breakdown of different breeds of swamp dragon) and very epic images that capture almost every detail of the characters ever mentioned.We start with Cohen the Barbarian and most of the Silver Horde (minus Old Vincent, who choked to death on a cucumber), last seen in Interesting Times, setting out on a quest. You see, Fingers-Mazda, the first hero, stole fire from the gods and the Horde feel that it is only fair, as the last of the true barbarian heroes, to return the stolen fire.With interest.However, there is a problem. An explosion as big as they are planning to make on the top of Cori Celesti will collapse the Disc's magic field for several years. Of course, the Disc runs on magic, and without it the seas would dry up, the sun would crash and burn, and the turtle and the elephants would probably just stop existing altogether. All of this would happen in the first ten minutes.So, Cohen's former subjects in the Agatean Empire tell Lord Vetinari to sort it out (as he and the city both have a reputation for getting things done). The solution is devised by the Wizards (after the usual heated debate) and Leonard of Quirm. They build the Kite, Discworld's second known spacecraft, powered by Swamp Dragons, to slingshot under the Disc and to try and beat the Horde to Cori Celesti. The craft is intended for three: Captain Carrot (by the logic that a policeman can find a reason to arrest anyone), Leonard (because the ship will need working on even after take off) and Rincewind (because he's met Cohen before and survived, and because he knows he will end up going anyway). Can they reach Cori Celesti in time to stop Cohen and his horde from their misguided crusade?Not to be confused with Last Action Hero.

Inexplicably helpful item placement will sound very familiar to anybody who's ever played an old first-person shooter. (Sir Pterry was, of course, an avowed fan of Doom. And of course, of older adventure games that developed the trope.)

Cohen and the Horde decide to Go Out With A Bang and take the Gods with them instead of sliding into senescence, and Harry Dread and Vena The Raven-Haired join them for the same reason. Still, Cohen is taken aback to learn all his other peers have settled down to quiet lives, or more often died of old age and mundane causes, like choking on their stew. The Time of Heroes is over.

Their story of "How The Giraffe Got His Long Neck" simply describes the process of evolution selecting for longer-necked giraffes. After witnessing a spacecraft, the Kite, taking off from the Discworld's moon, they recount: "The moon was brightly lit and from it rose another light which then split into three lights and faded. We do not know why this happened. It was just a thing." The N'tuitif have been more or less hunted to extinction by their more-imaginative neighbours, who are inclined to interpret such things as their gods instructing them to go out and expand their territory.

It's actually really hard to find a dwarf sufficiently stupid to qualify for a band of evil minions. (His name's "You're Armpit.") There's also the (unnamed) smith of the gods, the Discworld equivalent of Haephestus/Vulcan, who repairs Leonard's ship for him because he's the only one of them who has any kind of mechanical common sense (and, as the text notes, there always has to be one person who knows how these things work for an organisation to survive).

While this apparently happens to them all the time, they suddenly realize exactly what it implies (the gods play Dungeons & Dragons with the lives of men in this setting). The need to avert this is why the Bard is certain he'll return from Dunmanifestin. He knows that once the gods realize that they're under attack by a man claiming to be the Muse of Swearing and a guy wearing a hat made from a decapitated giant fish, they're going to want someone to survive to tell the story of what happened next.

The gods are, as has been established long before this story, as a whole selfish, short-sighted and literally play games with people's lives. On the other hand, Nuggan is regarded by even his fellow gods as being an unpleasant, odious little oik for banning his followers from eating chocolate, garlic and mushrooms. Nuggan's got this fussy little moustache too. A footnote makes mention that outside of Borogravia he's a minor deity in charge of paperclips, correct things in the right place in small stationery sets, and unnecessary paperwork - on the whole a god who garners approval the way Cohen saves money. It's mentioned that some gods toy with averting this in order to get more worshipers — specifically, forbidding the eating of certain unpleasant foods like broccoli or brussels sprouts. Sweevo, God of Cut Timber, is noted as banning the practice of panupunitoplasty. He has no idea what it is, or even if it's real, but is amused by how it makes his worshipers panic. And Offler, one of the oldest gods there is, notes after talking to Nuggan that he only got that way by recognizing that a god needs to offer his people something more than a lack of thunderbolts.

The Last Hero / int_c75df49a	type	Shout-Out
The Last Hero / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: Notably in both the text and the art, independently. Another ship took a trip over the edge of the Disc. There was one survivor. His last words: "My God, it's full of elephants!" Apollo 13: "Ankh-Morpork, we have an orangutan..." After landing on the moon: "Small steps, I said. Not giant leaps." Emperor Carelinus is the Disc's version of Alexander the Great, complete with his cutting the Tsortean Knot. The Nothingfjord Blue. Lovely plumage... er, wonderful scales, but a tendency to pine for the fjords... I mean, towards homesickness. One illustration of Rincewind screaming in abject terror with his hands on his face invokes Edvard Munch's "The Scream". Just as the Kite launches, Leonard tells Rincewind to think of it as "a magic carpet ride". Steppenwolf's "Magic Carpet Ride" is played by Zefram Cochrane during Earth's first starship launch in Star Trek: First Contact, and is also one of the songs played regularly as an in-flight wake-up call for NASA astronauts. There are some Aliens references too, as when Carrot searches the hold and finds a banana skin. Leonard's illustration of the Imaginary Hull Borer ("if such a creature invades the ship, vital crew split up in order to search for it") includes the Latatian "Nucleus situm ex orbita, unus certis maximus". In other words, "Nuke the entire site from orbit, It's the Only Way to Be Sure." A marginal note in Leonard's drawings mentions "Bird's Eye Maple, 1 1/2d per foot", referencing an old Stanley Holloway monologue "Three Ha'pence A Foot". Harry Dread has a pool of dolphins, you say? Are they ill-tempered? You would have to be insane to take part in the mission. Of course, if you're not insane, the Patrician has a duty to send only the keenest minds on such a vital errand. It's the best catch there is. Cohen's cutting the dice in half so it comes down as 6+1=7 is a reference to a Viking king who did this to win a bet. The legend implies the dice split on its own, but in The Science of Discworld Terry Pratchett wondered if he was holding a large axe at the time. It's also a double reference, as way back in The Colour of Magic one of the gods threw their dice and scored a seven, though in that case by using Alien Geometries (the cube-shaped dice had more than six sides). Cue admonition by another god to play fair, please. "Second star to the right and straight on till morning." "That's the worst navigation advice I've ever heard." As they're in a space ship, this also counts as a Shout-Out to Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. A sketch of Rincewind, stripped down to a loincloth, strapped spread-eagle into a three-axis rotation device, and clearly about to hurl, mirrors Leonardo da Vinci's ''Vitruvian Man'' (except for the hurling part). The Silver Horde discusses finding maps, keys and first aid kits just sort of lying around in the dungeons, and never speculating who'd put them there or why up until that moment. Inexplicably helpful item placement will sound very familiar to anybody who's ever played an old first-person shooter. (Sir Pterry was, of course, an avowed fan of Doom. And of course, of older adventure games that developed the trope.) A few panels are done in the style of The Bayeux Tapestry, to invoke a proper old-timey heroic saga effect.

The Last Hero / int_fe0330fb	comment	Brick Joke: At one point Leonard designs a frying pan that sticks to any surface in case the crew of the mission want to cook in zero gravity. Later on during said mission, Rincewind asks that a frying pan be removed from his back. Near the end, in an illustration showing Leonard painting the ceiling of the Temple, Rincewind is a member of the gathered crowd - and that frying pan is still there!
