The official patter:
"The Long War by Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter follows the adventures and travails of heroes Joshua Valiente and Lobsang in an exciting continuation of the extraordinary science fiction journey begun in their New York Times bestseller The Long Earth.
A generation after the events of The Long Earth, humankind has spread across the new worlds opened up by “stepping.” A new “America”—Valhalla—is emerging more than a million steps from Datum—our Earth. Thanks to a bountiful environment, the Valhallan society mirrors the core values and behaviors of colonial America. And Valhalla is growing restless under the controlling long arm of the Datum government.
Soon Joshua, now a married man, is summoned by Lobsang to deal with a building crisis that threatens to plunge the Long Earth into a war unlike any humankind has waged before."
Ok, firstly, I've been eagerly awaiting this book since the first in the series came out last year and was subsequently awesome, making it onto my top ten list for last year. Secondly, I think it's totally funny that seeing as Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett are friends and I saw the two of them AND Stephen Baxter all at the last North American Discworld Convention, that their books would come out on the same day. Problem though... which to read first?

The official patter:
"A brilliantly imaginative and poignant fairy tale from the modern master of wonder and terror, The Ocean at the End of the Lane is Neil Gaiman’s first new novel for adults since his #1 New York Times bestseller Anansi Boys.
This bewitching and harrowing tale of mystery and survival, and memory and magic, makes the impossible all too real..."
Not sure if I'm excited for this or not... because really, I love Neil's YA writing so much more...
