by Terry Pratchett
Okay, mostly it's just a mind-tour through infinite possible worlds. And that's fine. There's also a bit of Star Trek: The Next Generation-like advising in a supremely wise manner. And I like that, too. There isn't a war, which I probably prefer to skip, although it does make the title misleading. T...
Hmmm, two books in and I’m still kind of unsure how much I actually like this series...Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love the underlying concept of a chain of (apparently) countless Earths (known collectively as ‘The Long Earth’), of which our own is merely a single link, each existing in its own...
Terry Pratchett loves cat but I'm not sure how he feels about dogs considering the dogs in this book. But that's okay, he loves cats. His cat apparently tried to eat hamsters once. The Cat is not grooming the hamster in the pic, but taste testing For the record, I love Pratchett's work, and...

It carries on the story set-up in [b:The Long Earth|13147230|The Long Earth|Terry Pratchett|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1335532694s/13147230.jpg|18164154] but set 10 years later. Many worlds have now been pop...
I really enjoyed The Long Earth, but I knew the second book would be better because the world would already be built. And I was right. The Long War is a great second book in hte series and I can't wait for the next one. The Long Earth series is much more serious and sci-fi heavy than The Discworld,...
