Recently finished "The Long Earth" and the "Long War" by Stephen Baxter and Terry Pratchett. Nice, clever premise, that a large portion of the population can suddenly sidestep into alternate earths, where every planet is different, but inevitably, mankind never evolved past early hominds. It's not just a new planet as a frontier, but an infinite number of planets. It feels more like a Baxter book than a Pratchett book.
I've just finished The Long Earth, but am undecided about Long War the reviews seem mixed at best. Your thoughts on Long War?
Currently reading Rule 34 by Charles Stross.
