| ==Blurb==
| |
| [[Cohen the Barbarian|He]]'s been a [[Barbarian heroes|legend]] in his own lifetime.
| |
| | |
| He can remember the great days of high adventure.
| |
| | |
| He can remember when a hero didn't have to worry about fences and lawyers and civilisation.
| |
| | |
| He can remember when people didn't tell you off for killing dragons.
| |
| | |
| But he can't always remember, these days, where he put his teeth...
| |
| | |
| He's really not happy about that bit.
| |
| | |
| 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. It's been a good life. He's going to climb the highest mountain in the Discworld and meet his gods. He doesn't like the way they let men grow old and die.
| |
| | |
| It's time, in fact, to give something back.
| |
| | |
| 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. | |
| | |
| Someone is going to try. So who knows who the last hero really is?
