A frontier conflict across parallel Earths
Set a generation after The Long Earth, this sequel returns to a humanity dispersed across countless worlds through “stepping.” The distant settlement of Valhalla, more than a million steps from Datum Earth, has developed in the image of colonial America while chafing against oversight from the original world. Joshua Valiente and Lobsang are drawn into a widening political crisis whose stakes extend across the Long Earth. The novel uses its vast parallel-world premise to frame questions of expansion, self-government, and conflict between a remote center of power and an increasingly independent frontier.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Fans of large-scale science fiction built around parallel worlds
- Readers interested in frontier societies and political tensions
- Those continuing from The Long Earth

The Long War by Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter follows the adventures and travails of heroes Joshua Valiente and Lobsang in an exciting continuation of the extraordinary science fiction journey begun in their New York Times bestseller The Long Earth.
A generation after the events of The Long Earth, humankind has spread across the new worlds opened up by "stepping." A new "America"--Valhalla--is emerging more than a million steps from Datum--our Earth. Thanks to a bountiful environment, the Valhallan society mirrors the core values and behaviors of colonial America. And Valhalla is growing restless under the controlling long arm of the Datum government.
Soon Joshua, now a married man, is summoned by Lobsang to deal with a building crisis that threatens to plunge the Long Earth into a war unlike any humankind has waged before.
