The dazzling new science fiction adventure from the extraordinary imaginations of Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter - the fourth novel in a collaborative series that has been hailed as 'sense-of-wonder SF at its best' (Independent on Sunday).
Terry Pratchett (Author)
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. His novels have been widely adapted for stage
and screen, and he was the winner of multiple prizes, including the
Carnegie Medal, as well as being awarded a knighthood for services
to literature. He died in March 2015.
Stephen Baxter (Author)
Stephen Baxter is one of the UK's most acclaimed writers of science
fiction and a multi-award winner. His many books include the
classic Xeelee sequence, the Time's Odyssey novels (written with
Arthur C. Clarke) and Time Ships, a sequel to H. G. Wells's The
Time Machine, a Doctor Who novel, The Wheel of Ice, and most
recently the epic, far-future novels Proxima and Ultima. He lives
in Northumberland.
There's plenty of fun to be had from this . . . a hymn to the joys
of unfettered world-building . . . but if the pace of plotting is
gentle, the restless inventiveness more than compensates.
*GUARDIAN*
Rich in an awe-inspiring sense of wonder, with mind-boggling
concepts thrown out like sparks from a Catherine wheel.
*INDEPENDENT*
A triumph . . . brings fresh and exciting concepts to an SF staple
(paralell worlds) while keeping credible human characters at their
heart . . . as testament both to the diversity of Sir Terry
Pratchett's writing, and the skill of Stephen Baxter's, The Long
Earth series deserves a place on the bookshelves of hardcore SF
fans and general readers alike.
*INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY*
The Long Earth novels are beautifully visual and wittily imagined .
. . The Long Utopia . . . serves to remind us just how bewitching
and rich this series is, how beautiful is its writing, and vivid
its imagination.
*FOR WINTER NIGHTS*
There's the sense of two enviably talented writers having fun as
they play in an infinite fictional universe.
