Synopsis Expand/Collapse Synopsis The first novel in a brilliant collaboration between the visionary Discworld® creator Terry Pratchett and acclaimed science fiction novelist Stephen Baxter, The Long Earth transports readers to an infinity of new worlds—a series of parallel “earths" with doorways leading to adventure, intrigue, excitement, and an escape into the furthest reaches of the imagination. All it takes is a single step. . . . The possibilities are endless. (Just be careful what you wish for. . . .) 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. Where have the mud, blood, and blasted landscape of no-man's-land gone? For that matter, where has Percy gone? 2015: Madison, Wisconsin. Police officer Monica Jansson is exploring the burned-out home of a reclusive—some say mad, others allege dangerous—scientist who seems to have vanished. Sifting through the wreckage, Jansson finds a curious gadget: a box containing some rudimentary wiring, a three-way switch, and . . . a potato. It is the prototype of an invention that will change the way humankind views the world forever. The Long Earth is an adventure of the highest order and willcaptivate science fiction fans of all stripes, readers of Kurt Vonnegut, Douglas Adams, and Carl Hiaasen, and anyone who enjoyed the Terry Pratchett/Neil Gaiman collaboration Good Omens.

Discworld Novel : Book 19

On 18 February 2009, over a year after he had been diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's, one of the world's favourite fantasy authors became Sir Terence David John Pratchett, OBE. On 12 March of this year, Sir Terry (or Pterry, as many of his fans know him) passed away in his home in Broad Chalke (a very Discworldly name), Wiltshire, England. Sir Terry's coat of arms, from File 770. Sir Terry inspired a few generations of writers and artists with his fictional universe of Discworld, a planet shaped like a disc carried on the back of four elephants on top of a giant turtle. Far-fetched as the world seems, the people who lived in it were very real, rounded characters who contained whole worlds in themselves. Art by Paul Kidby, from The Last Hero Sir Terry created stories that would stay with us our whole lives, and jokes that were so funny we sometimes didn't notice how profound they were. His books were famous for passages that were short, sharp, and full of truth as well as humour. In his memory we include our favourites here, along with illustrations from fantasy masters who also had a great impact on our lives. Art by Alan Lee 'Geography is just physics slowed down, with a few trees stuck on it.' - Feet of Clay Art by Donato Giancola 'If you trust in yourself. . .and believe in your dreams. . .and follow your star. . . you'll still get beaten by people who spent their time working hard and learning things and weren't so lazy.' - The Wee Free Men Art by Wayne Anderson 'Apes never admired the sleek of the fur and the burn of the eye, because they were too well aware of the teeth of the mouth.' - Lords and Ladies Art by James Gurney 'Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.' - A Hat Full of Sky Art by Brian Froud 'Freedom is like having the top of your head opened up.' - Feet of Clay Art by Kinuko Y. Craft 'Humans need fantasy to be human. To be the place where the falling angel meets the rising ape.' - Hogfather Thank you, Sir Terry.
