The Long Earth

Opening with a glimpse of 1916 on the Western Front, The Long Earth drops us into a moment where Private Percy Blakeney wakes on fresh spring grass, hearing birdsong and feeling wind in the trees. The question lingers as he looks around: where has the mud, blood, and blasted No Man’s Land gone? This debut introduces stepping between parallel Earths and the dawning era of multi-world humanity, blending adventure with provocative ideas about reality and possibility.

The Long War

A generation after the first journey, humanity has spread across new worlds opened up by Stepping. Where Joshua and Lobsang once pioneered, fleets of airships now link the stepwise Americas with trade and culture. The Long Earth is reshaping society, and in turn society is reshaping the Long Earth—driven by curiosity, commerce, and the enduring question of what humanity owes to its expanding horizons.

The Long Mars

Sally, Joshua, and Lobsang face a perilous mission when Sally is contacted by her long-vanished father, Willis Linsay, the original inventor of the Stepper device. He plans a fantastic voyage across the Long Mars and wants Sally to join him. But nothing is as it seems, and trust becomes as crucial as courage in the face of the unknown.

The Long Utopia

Set across 2045–2059, after Step Day and Yellowstone’s upheavals, humanity pushes further into the Long Earth, forging new communities on a battered Datum Earth and beyond. Society continues to evolve in surprising ways as science, technology, and culture adapt to life across multiple worlds, expanding what it means to be human in a changing universe.

The Long Cosmos

In 2070–71, the Long Earth era deepens as the Next post-human society matures. Joshua Valienté, now in his late sixties, undertakes one last solo journey into the High Meggers—a venture that becomes a disaster and a revelation, testing the resilience of belief, friendship, and the humble impulse to keep exploring.
