Terry Pratchett (1948-2015) was the acclaimed creator of the
globally revered Discworld series. In all, he authored more than
fifty bestselling books, which have sold more than one hundred
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 by Queen
Elizabeth II for his services to literature in 2009, although he
always wryly maintained that his greatest service to literature was
to avoid writing any.
Stephen Baxter is an acclaimed, multiple-award-winning author whose
many books include the Xeelee Sequence series, the Time Odyssey
trilogy (written with Arthur C. Clarke), and The Time Ships, a
sequel to H. G. Wells's classic The Time Machine. He lives in
England.
"Stay tuned for the next episode of a very old-fashioned sf quest yarn (think Jules Verne and 2001) that, since Pratchett is involved, is crammed with scientifically informed amusement." -- Booklist"In this thought-provoking collaboration, Pratchett (the Discworld series) and Baxter (Stone Spring) create an infinity of worlds to explore. . . fascinating premise." -- Publishers Weekly"The Long Earth is a brilliant Science Fiction collaboration with Stephen Baxter: a love letter to all Pratchett fans, readers, and lovers of wonder everywhere. . . . This novel is a gift to be shared with anyone who loves to be amazed." -- Io9"As you'd expect from these authors, the writing is elegant and witty, peppered with sly pop-culture references. The worlds of the Long Earth are all richly rendered, and even the walk-on characters are deftly imagined. . . . The Long Earth is a genuinely thoughtful and entertaining exploration of a profoundly changed universe-and the potential seems endless not just for the characters, but for Pratchett and Baxter as well." -- Tor.com" The Long Earth is the solid start of a series with infinite potential." -- Shelf Awareness
