Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter continue their “Long”
series with The Long Mars (see 7/9/13
entry for Long War). The book picks up
where the last left off and continues the story in odd little jumps across time
and character. In this book we follow
the arrival of a new species of human who call themselves the “Next”, track
some adventurers who take advantage of a gap in the “long Earth” to make an
easy step off to Mars which they discover is also long, follow a government
sponsored group that steps along a quarter billion Earths in a vast exploration
and more. 
We are a branch of the Los Angeles Public Library located in Highland Park. Keep yourself updated on our doings here...
