The Long Earth By Terry Pratchett And Stephen Baxter



I'd got this from the library. Interesting collaboration between two great authors. I recommend the film Another Earth. Starts off with a pregnant teen Maria. She's about to give birth. She 'steps' (teleports) into a new world. Full of forests and blue skies with no population at all. Afterwards she and her newborn Joshua return to Datum Earth. The main protagonist is Joshua. He's able to step from one world to the next. As many others have been doing using a device. There are parallel Earths to the west and east of Datum (normal) Earth. Some chapters focus on other characters. There are troll and elvish creatures that can also step. The Black Corporation is a company that wishes to discover more about these worlds. Lobsang is a Tibetian reincarnated into a machine. He travels with Joshua in a ship. Different timezones like 1915 following soldier Percy Blakeway, 2015 cop Monica Jansson. The Green family have settled on the long earth. It's an amusing book. Selling on Amazon. Very good condition. 9780857520098
