The third novel in Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter's "Long
Earth" series, which Io9 calls "a brilliant science fiction
collaboration."
2040-2045: In the years after the cataclysmic Yellowstone
eruption there is massive economic dislocation as populations flee
Datum Earth to myriad Long Earth worlds. Sally, Joshua, and Lobsang
are all involved in this perilous rescue work when, out of the
blue, Sally is contacted by her long-vanished father and inventor
of the original Stepper device, Willis Linsay. He tells her he is
planning a fantastic voyage across the Long Mars and wants her to
accompany him. But Sally soon learns that Willis has an ulterior
motive for his request. . . .
Meanwhile U. S. Navy Commander Maggie Kauffman has embarked on
an incredible journey of her own, leading an expedition to the
outer limits of the far Long Earth.
For Joshua, the crisis he faces is much closer to home. He
becomes embroiled in the plight of the Next: the super-bright
post-humans who are beginning to emerge from their "long childhood"
in the community called Happy Landings, located deep in the Long
Earth. Ignorance and fear have caused "normal" human society to
turn against the Next. A dramatic showdown seems inevitable. . .
