Description
The Long Mars: A New Chapter in the Long Earth Sequence Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter's latest collaboration is a dazzling addition to their bestselling series. In 2040-2045, the aftermath of the Yellowstone eruption has led to massive economic dislocation as populations flee Datum Earth for various Long Earth worlds. Sally, Joshua, and Lobsang are all involved in this perilous work when Sally receives an unexpected message from her long-lost father, inventor Willis Linsay. He proposes a fantastic voyage across the Long Mars, but with an ulterior motive: to trace an advanced alien technology that could aid humanity's recovery. Meanwhile, U.S. Navy Commander Maggie Kauffman embarks on an incredible journey to the outer limits of the far Long Earth. As tensions rise, Joshua becomes embroiled in the plight of the Next, super-bright post-humans emerging from their 'long childhood' in Happy Landings. With ignorance and fear driving humans against their own kind, a dramatic showdown seems inevitable.
