A simple step. An infinite number of worlds. The universe is bigger than anyone imagined—just be careful what you wish for.
In 1916, Private Percy Blakeney wakes up, no longer surrounded by the blood and mud of the Western Front, but in a world untouched by war, filled with fresh grass and birdsong. Nearly a century later, in 2015, police officer Monica Jansson stumbles upon the wreckage of a scientist’s home and a peculiar device—a box with switches, wires… and a potato. It’s the prototype of an invention that will change everything.
The Long Earth is the first novel in a visionary collaboration between Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter, an adventure spanning parallel worlds, infinite possibilities, and the thrilling dangers of the unknown. All it takes is one step.
