A new ‘America’, called Valhalla, is emerging more than a million steps from Datum Earth, with core American values restated in the plentiful environment of the Long Earth – and Valhalla is growing restless under the control of the Datum government... Meanwhile the Long Earth is suffused by the song of the trolls, graceful hive-mind humanoids. But the trolls are beginning to react to humanity’s thoughtless exploitation ... Joshua, now a married man, is summoned by Lobsang to deal with a gathering multiple crisis that threatens to plunge the Long Earth into a war unlike any mankind has waged before.

History’s Greatest Decisions
Bill Price History’s Greatest Decisions takes a light-hearted but informative look at 50 of the best decisions ever made. Entries range from the king who renounced war and brought Buddhism to millions, to a woman on a bus standing up for her rights by sitting down and refusing to move. Sometimes the people who made the big decisions were aware of the gravity of what they were doing, and sometimes they had no idea at all, but they nevertheless arrived at the right answer. This book takes a look at some famous and not-so-well-known examples of people who, when faced with tough choices, made the crucial decisions and got them right. And, in the process, made the world a better place.
