Description
This classic Discworld novel now has a brand-new cover look to celebrate 50 years of Terry Pratchett!
Eric is the Discworld's only demonology hacker. The trouble is, he's not very good at it. All he wants is the usual three wishes: to be immortal, rule the world, and have the most beautiful woman fall madly in love with him. The usual stuff.
But what he gets is Rincewind, the Disc's most incompetent wizard, and Rincewind's Luggage (the world's most dangerous travel accessory) into the bargain.
Terry Pratchett's hilarious take on the Faust legend stars many of the Discworld's most popular characters in an outrageous adventure that will leave Eric wishing once more - this time, quite fervently, that he'd never been born.
Readers adore Eric:
'Packed with references and laugh-out-loud scenes and I enjoyed myself immensely.' – Goodreads reviewer
'Just brilliant, one of Pratchett's many masterpieces of imagination. The book is laugh aloud funny as all his books are.' – Goodreads reviewer
'Fresh and funny and fast-paced and so damn entertaining. It reminded me exactly why I fell in love with Pratchett's Discworld in the first place.' – Goodreads reviewer
'A hilarious, frenetic and fast-paced journey. . . . True British comedy and wit, rollicking fun.' – Goodreads reviewer

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Eric by Terry Pratchett is generally praised for its witty and satirical take on the classic Faustian legend. Readers appreciate Pratchett's signature humour and the clever interplay between the characters, especially the adventures of Rincewind and his reluctant partnership with the young demonologist Eric. The book is noted for its imaginative storytelling and the clever way it incorporates themes of magic and bureaucracy.

About the Author
Sir Terry Pratchett was the acclaimed creator of the global bestselling Discworld series, the first of which, The Colour of Magic, was published in 1983. In all, he was the author of over fifty bestselling books which have sold over 100 million copies worldwide. His novels have been widely adapted for stage and screen, and he was the winner of multiple prizes, including the Carnegie Medal. He was awarded a knighthood for services to literature in 2009, although he always wryly maintained that his greatest service to literature was avoiding writing any.
