Overview
This complete five-book paperback collection gathers the entire Long Earth series by Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter in one satisfying set. Spanning The Long Earth, The Long War, The Long Mars, The Long Utopia and The Long Cosmos, it charts humanity's astonishing discovery of countless parallel Earths and the decades of exploration, conflict and transformation that follow. Blending Pratchett's warmth and wit with Baxter's rigorous scientific imagination, this is essential reading for science fiction fans wanting the full saga in sequence, ready to read or gift immediately.

About the Books
The saga opens with The Long Earth, introducing "Stepping" - a simple device that lets ordinary people walk sideways into an infinite chain of parallel worlds, triggering a mass exodus from an overcrowded Datum Earth. The Long War follows a generation later, as Stepwise settlements mature into a sprawling, airship-linked civilisation whose growing independence threatens conflict with the governments left behind. The Long Mars widens the canvas further still, sending explorers Sally, Joshua and the enigmatic Lobsang on a perilous voyage to a parallel Mars, guided by Sally's estranged father and the original inventor of the Stepper box. The Long Utopia pushes into the 2040s and 50s, as post-Yellowstone survivors rebuild society across the Long Earth, testing what community and progress really mean when worlds are limitless. The saga closes with The Long Cosmos, set in the 2070s, as an ageing Joshua Valienté undertakes one final expedition into the deep Long Earth. Together the five novels form a continuous, character-driven epic that moves from intimate personal stories to civilisation-spanning ideas about exploration, ethics and what it means to be human when the frontier never ends.
