Long War
Long War | Terry Pratchett, Stephen Baxter
14 posts | 29 read | 10 to read
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.

julesG @alisiakae - you changed your handle, right? 2y
TheSpineView I loved this first book. Have not gotten to the others in the series yet. What stuck with me the most is all those worlds and still humans are fighting over stuff. 2y

GingerAntics I‘m still not sure I have a clue what happened in The Long Earth. 2y
julesG @GingerAntics Me neither. I'll check the Wiki 2y
GingerAntics @julesG I was thinking the same thing. lol I was going to look it up. Maybe it will get clearer the more the story goes along? I‘ve had the happen before. Hopefully this is one of those times. 2y

After reading the first book, I was hooked and couldn't wait to continue the series. Sadly, the second book just wasn't as good as the first one. The characters suddenly didn't feel like friends anymore, while the story somewhat was like a copy of the first one 🤷‍♀️ I liked Maggie, though.

I didn't like this nearly as much as the first installment. I think they were trying to do too many things/have too many simultaneous stories going on.

iread2much That‘s what I was afraid of. I really like the first book in the series, and I‘m afraid the rest of the series won‘t be as good... 6y
JoyBlue @iread2much I hate when this happens! 6y

Second in the #longearth series. I like the cat best. Big event is Yellowstone. Is this the reason humans became able to step at this point in time? Why do humans have to treat Trolls so badly? It would be so typical of us.

Disjointed and all over the place, a plethora of secondary characters that may or may not have importance. Very disappointing

#2 in the Long Earth series by Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter did not let me down. A picking up the first in on the series on a whim I have been devouring them. I think I have something for the 'undiscovered' worlds of literature. For some reason I thought it was just a trilogy but saw last night there are 5 of them! Find those that have read the series, do they stay good throughout the series?

"Consider. We call ourselves the wise ones, but what would a true homo sapiens be like? What would it do? Surely it would first of all treasure its world, or worlds. It would look to the skies for other sapient life forms. And it would look to the universe as a whole, and consider its cultivation." -- Lobsang

This book was fine. It wasn't bad but it wasn't thrilling. To be honest, not much happened. With about 100 pages to go I told myself I would not read the third book in the series. By the end I changed my mind. Not only am I curious about the ending I am completionist at heart.

Slowly working my way through. I feel like it's a long lead up to the titular War.
