Description : Titles in This Set : 1. The Long Earth 2. The Long War 3. The Long Mars 4. The Long Utopia 5. The Long Cosmos Description : 1. The Long Earth 1916 - the Western Front. Private Percy Blakeney wakes up. He is lying on fresh spring grass. He can hear birdsong, and the wind in the leaves in the trees. Where has the mud, blood and blasted landscape of No Man's Land gone? 2. The Long War A generation after the events of The Long Earth, mankind has spread across the new worlds opened up by Stepping, where Joshua and Lobsang once pioneered, now fleets of airships link the stepwise Americas with trade and culture. Mankind is shaping the Long Earth, but in turn the Long Earth is shaping mankind ... A new ‘America’, called Valhalla, is emerging more than a million steps from Datum Earth, with core American values restated in the plentiful environment of the Long Earth and Valhalla is growing restless under the control of the Datum government... 3. The Long Mars 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 a hidden community located deep in the Long Earth. Ignorance and fear are causing 'normal' human society to turn against the Next and a dramatic showdown seems inevitable . . . 4. The Long Utopia 2045-2059. After the cataclysmic upheavals of Step Day and the Yellowstone eruption humanity is spreading further into the Long Earth, and society, on a battered Datum Earth and beyond, continues to evolve. 5. The Long Cosmos 2070-71. Nearly six decades after Step Day and in the Long Earth, the new Next post-human society continues to evolve. For Joshua Valienté, now in his late sixties, it is time to take one last solo journey into the High Meggers, an adventure that turns into a disaster. Alone and facing death, his only hope of salvation lies with a group of trolls. But as Joshua confronts his mortality, the Long Earth receives a signal from the stars. A signal that is picked up by radio astronomers but also in more abstract ways... by the trolls and by the Great Traversers. It’s message is simple but its implications are enormous.
