2040-2045: In the years after the cataclysmic
Yellowstone eruption there is massive economic dislocation as
populations flee Datum Earth to myriad Long Earth worlds. Sally,
Joshua, and Lobsang are all involved in this perilous work when,
out of the blue, Sally is contacted by her long-vanished father and
inventor of the original Stepper device, Willis Linsay. He tells
her he is planning a fantastic voyage across the Long Mars and
wants her to accompany him. But Sally soon learns that Willis has
ulterior motives
...
Meanwhile
U. S. Navy Commander Maggie Kauffman has embarked on an incredible
journey of her own, leading an expedition to the outer limits of
the far Long
Earth.
For
Joshua, the crisis he faces is much closer to home. He becomes
embroiled in the plight of the Next: the super-bright post-humans
who are beginning to emerge from their 'long childhood' in the
community called Happy Landings, located deep in the Long Earth.
Ignorance and fear are causing 'normal' human society to turn
against the Next - and a dramatic showdown seems inevitable . .
