To counter this threat will require the combined efforts of humankind, machine and the super-intelligent Next.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 *
