Book Review: “The Long Earth” by Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter

Posted on September 10, 2012 by Josh Roseman

The main bulk of the story is Lobsang and Joshua traveling westward and discovering the various life-forms that have developed in the Long Earth. As they go, they discover that something is upsetting the higher-order creatures, forcing them eastward (toward the Datum), and take it upon themselves to figure out exactly what’s causing it and if they can stop it.

My review of The Long Earth by Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter is now up at Escape Pod.
