The Long Utopia

There’s plenty of fun to be had from this … a hymn to the joys of unfettered world-building … but if the pace of plotting is gentle, the restless inventiveness more than compensates. – Adam Roberts * GUARDIAN *Rich in an awe-inspiring sense of wonder, with mind-boggling concepts thrown out like sparks from a Catherine wheel. – Barry Forshaw * INDEPENDENT *A triumph … brings fresh and exciting concepts to an SF staple (paralell worlds) while keeping credible human characters at their heart … as testament both to the diversity of Sir Terry Pratchett’s writing, and the skill of Stephen Baxter’s, The Long Earth series deserves a place on the bookshelves of hardcore SF fans and general readers alike. – David Barnett * INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY *The Long Earth novels are beautifully visual and wittily imagined … The Long Utopia … serves to remind us just how bewitching and rich this series is, how beautiful is its writing, and vivid its imagination. * FOR WINTER NIGHTS *There’s the sense of two enviably talented writers having fun as they play in an infinite fictional universe. – Jonathan Wright * SFX *
