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. Now an elderly and cantankerous AI, Lobsang lives in disguise with Agnes in an exotic, far-distant world. Hee(tm)s convinced theye(tm)re leading a normal life in New Springfield e" they even adopt a child e" but it seems they have been guided there for a reason. As rumours of strange sightings and hauntings proliferate, it becomes clear that something is very awry with this particular world. Millions of steps away, Joshua is on a personal journey of discovery: learning about the father he never knew and a secret family history. But then he receives a summons from New Springfield. Lobsang now understands the enormity of whate(tm)s taking place beneath the surface of his earth e" a threat to all the worlds of the Long Earth. To counter this threat will require the combined efforts of humankind, machine and the super-intelligent Next. And some must make the ultimate sacrifice . . .

julesG I admit, I didn't read this. I DNF'd on the first book in this series and, obviously, didn't continue. 1y

BookmarkTavern I‘ve bailed on this particular series too. 😂 1y
julesG @ozma.of.oz It just wasn't Pratchett enough for me to continue. If that makes any sense. 1y

The artificial cat also dies *sobs*
So this is book 4 in the #longearth series. We discover silver “beetles” and poor Sally meets her destiny. Plus, we find out there has been some selective breeding going on, much like the was for “luck” in Ringworld series

The best of the Long Earth series so far, though I'm only a 3rd of the way through it yet. Getting a sense of something exciting about to happen.

RaimeyGallant Sounds interesting. :) And welcome to Litsy! #LitsyWelcomeWagon Some of us put together Litsy tips to help new Littens navigate the site. It's the link in my bio on my page in case you need it. Or if you prefer how-to videos, @chelleo put some together at the link in her bio. 7y
