Beschreibung

1916: the Western Front. Private Percy Blakeney wakes up. He is lying on fresh spring grass. He can hear birdsong, and the wind in the leaves in the trees. Where has the mud, blood and blasted landscape of No Man's Land gone?

2015: Madison, Wisconsin. Cop Monica Jansson is exploring the burned-out home of a reclusive - some said mad, others dangerous - scientist - when she finds a curious gadget - a box containing some wiring, a three-way switch and a...potato. It is the prototype of an invention that will change the way Mankind views his world for ever.

And that's an understatement if ever there was one...

The Long Earth is the first in an exciting new collaboration between the creator of Discworld Terry Pratchett and the acclaimed SF writer Stephen Baxter

German Review on GosuReviews I have to agree with the opinions of many people on my friendlist. This book is very mediocre and doesn't showcase the skills of both authors. When I read the names on the cover my expectations were very high, especially because I loved Pratchetts last cooperation with a renowned writer ( Good Omens with Neil Gaiman). But it's hard to find parts where Pratchetts talent shines through, there is hardly a part where you can laugh about witty or funny dialogs/plot strands. The idea was great, the story not so, neither were the characters. An anticlimactic ending didn't help either. It's by no means a bad book, but considering the names on the cover you should set a higher expectation. I only will give the second book a try, because I got a physical review copy and owe them an honest review. Let's see, maybe it get's better than book one :)
