	A generation after the events of [[The Long Earth]], mankind has spread across the new worlds opened up by Stepping. Where [[Joshua Valienté\|Joshua Valienté]] and [[Lobsang]] once pioneered, now fleets of airships link the stepwise Americas with trade and culture. Mankind is shaping the Long Earth , but in turn [[the Long Earth\|The Long Earth] is shaping mankind. 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.		A generation after the events of [[The Long Earth]], mankind has spread across the new worlds opened up by Stepping. Where [[Joshua Valienté\|Joshua Valienté]] and [[Lobsang]] once pioneered, now fleets of airships link the stepwise Americas with trade and culture. Mankind is shaping the Long Earth , but in turn [[the Long Earth\|The Long Earth]] is shaping mankind. 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.
