I am currently reading the second book of Terry Pratchett/Stephen Baxter's, The Long Earth series.
1 - The Long Earth,
2 - The Long War,
3 - The Long Mars,
4 - The Long Utopia,
5 - The Long Cosmos
The "Long Earth" is a name given to a possibly infinite series of parallel worlds that are similar to Earth, which can be reached by using an inexpensive device called a "Stepper".
The "close" worlds are almost identical to "our" Earth (referred to as "Datum Earth"), while others differ in greater and greater details.
All share one similarity: on none are there, or have there ever been, Homo sapiens - although the same cannot be said for earlier hominid species, especially Homo habilis.
Enjoyable read so far
