About the author

Sir Terence David John Pratchett was an English author, humorist, and satirist, best known for the Discworld series of 41 comic fantasy novels published between 1983–2015, and for the apocalyptic comedy novel Good Omens (1990), which he co-wrote with Neil Gaiman.
Pratchett's first novel, The Carpet People, was published in 1971. The first Discworld novel, The Colour of Magic, was published in 1983, after which Pratchett wrote an average of two books a year. The final Discworld novel, The Shepherd's Crown, was published in August 2015, five months after his death.
With more than 100 million books sold worldwide in 43 languages, Pratchett was the UK's best-selling author of the 1990s. He was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 1998 and was knighted for services to literature in the 2009 New Year Honours. In 2001 he won the annual Carnegie Medal for The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents, the first Discworld book marketed for children. He received the World Fantasy Award for Life Achievement in 2010.
In December 2007 Pratchett announced that he had been diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's disease. He later made a substantial public donation to the Alzheimer's Research Trust (now Alzheimer's Research UK, ARUK), filmed three television programmes chronicling his experiences with the condition for the BBC, and became a patron of ARUK. Pratchett died on 12 March 2015, at the age of 66.

This must be the best 5 box set that Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter could possibly have produced. Marvellous concept and given a brilliant and thorough story telling effort. It is superbly written in Pratchett and Baxter's terrific style and use of characters.

When Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter team up, how could I not read the entire Long Earth series? Pratchett’s wit and charm meet Baxter’s big, bold sci-fi brain—and the result is something totally unique. It’s like watching two master chefs from totally different kitchens cook up a multi-dimensional feast. The concept is genius: infinite Earths, endless possibilities, and humanity stepping (literally) into the unknown.

Pratchett’s humor pops up in all the right places, grounding the story in a kind of warm absurdity, while Baxter’s expansive vision keeps pulling you deeper into the mind-blowing implications of the Long Earth. It's thoughtful, funny, weird, and at times quietly profound. Not every moment is fast-paced, but the ideas? Massive. This is slow-burn, idea-rich sci-fi at its finest—seasoned perfectly with that unmistakable Pratchett wit.

For fans of either author, this series is a no-brainer. For fans of both? It's a dream collaboration that absolutely delivers.
