The No.1 bestseller The Long Cosmos is the grand finale of Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter's acclaimed 'Long Earth' sequence. Terry had always wanted to explore the question 'what's it all for?' - and in this novel, we find an answer . . .

Inspired . . . something of the poetry and visionary wildness of an
author such as Jeff VanderMeer . . . enthralling and
thought-provoking in equal measure. -- Ned Denny * DAILY MAIL *
Intricately described . . . gently immersive . . . Baxter's
scientific grounding will make you dwell once more on that chilling
quantum idea that to exist is to be observed . . . if you've been
following the series from the beginning, this last chapter will
make you cry, all on its own. -- Jenny Colgan * GUARDIAN *
One of the unexpected delights of the later Pratchett career . . .
a novel that comes across as a love letter to science fiction
itself, one suffused with a Clarke-like optimism about the future.
Baxter, you'd guess, is saluting two old friends here. -- Jonathan
Wright * SFX magazine *
A fine and fitting testament to the work of one of our greatest and
much-missed writing legends, and a reminder that in the likes of
Stephen Baxter, British science fiction remains in safe-hands. --
David Barnett * THE i NEWSPAPER *
