The Long War

fullDescription

The Long War by legendary author and Discworld creator Terry Pratchett and award-winning science fiction novelist Stephen Baxter follows the adventures and travails of heroes Joshua Valiente and Lobsang in an exciting continuation of the extraordinary journey begun in their New York Times bestseller The Long Earth.

War has come to the Long Earth....

Humankind has spread across the new worlds opened up by stepping, which Joshua and Lobsang explored a mere decade ago. Now ""civilization"" flourishes, and fleets of airships link the multiple Earths through exploration, trade, and culture.

Humankind is shaping the Long Earth, but in turn the Long Earth is shaping humankind. A new America that has christened itself ""Valhalla"" has emerged more than a million steps from the original Datum Earth. And like the American revolutionaries of old, the Valhallans resent being controlled from afar by the Datum government.

In the intervening years, the song of the trolls—graceful, hive-mind humanoids—has suffused the Long Earth. But in the face of humankind's inexorable advance, they are beginning to fall silent . . . and gradually disappear.

Joshua, now married and a father, is summoned by Lobsang. It seems that he alone can confront the perfect storm of crises that threatens to plunge all of the Long Earth into war. A war unlike any that has been waged before...

The full list of books in the Long Earth series include:

The Long Mars

The Long Utopia

reviews

1. • premium: True
   • source:
   • content: Strange new worlds are a science-fiction staple. In this continuation of the Long Earth series, millions of parallel earths are the settings for feuding protagonists Joshua Valiente and Lobsang. They have taken separate paths to avoid bloodshed between the established homeland and Valhalla, home to the rebellious Long Earth residents. Narrator Michael Fenton-Stevens embraces the challenge of populating these disparate worlds. He brings his sturdy British accent to the narrative and gives distinctive voices to the characters, human or troll, elf or beagle. Fenton-Stevens also succeeds in making a lush tapestry even more colorful with a variety of accents. This sterling production turns a heady work into an accessible epic. D.E.M.
