Terry Pratchett & Stephen Baxter, complete set of 'The Long Earth' series of science fiction novels, all collectors limited editions, each being one of 825 respective copies only, all published London, Doubleday, all original pictorial boards, orig. pictorial slipcases, all pristine in original shrink wrap, comprising 'The Long Earth', 2012, 'The Long War', 2013, 'The Long Mars', 2014, 'The Long Utopia', 2015, 'The Long Cosmos', 2016. The Long Earth is a collaborative science fiction novel series by British authors Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter. At the time of Pratchett's death, three novels had been released, with a fourth published on 23 June 2015 and the fifth published on 30 June 2016. The original basis for the series was Pratchett's then-unpublished short story "The High Meggas", which he wrote as a starting point for a potential series while his first Discworld novel, The Colour of Magic, was undergoing publication. The success of The Colour of Magic prompted Pratchett to put the story aside until the idea resurfaced in 2010 following a conversation with his American agent, and discussion with Stephen Baxter prompted the development of the first book, and the collaboration between the two authors. The Long Earth is a name given to a possibly infinite series of parallel worlds that are similar to Earth, which can be reached using an inexpensive device called a Stepper. The "close" worlds are almost identical to Earth, while others differ radically. Despite this they all share one similarity: on none are there or have there ever been humans. The books explore the theme of how humanity might develop when freed from resource constraints: one example Pratchett has cited is that wars result from lack of land, and he was curious as to what would happen if there was no shortage of land or other resources. A very scarce complete collectors limited edition set (5)
