The Light Fantastic by Alfred Bester
A bumbling wizard and an incurably optimistic tourist are swept into a frantic, comic quest across a flat, disc-shaped world when a looming cosmic calamity—an oncoming red star empowered by ancient, scattered spells—threatens to unmake reality. With a sentient, rolling trunk at their heels and one of the Octavo’s spells lodged in his head, the wizard must scramble to reassemble a powerful grimoire, outwit scheming sorcerers, and confront wild, unpredictable magic. The story mixes brisk adventure and sharp satire to upend epic-quest conventions while turning an unlikely pair into unexpected saviors of their peculiar world.
