Now civilization flourishes, and airships link the multiple Earths. A new America christening itself Valhalla has emerged more than a million steps from the original Datum Earth. Like the American revolutionaries of old, the Valhallans resent being controlled from afar. And in the wake of humankind's advance, the trolls--graceful, hive-mind humanoids whose song has suffused the Long Earth--are beginning to fall silent . . . and disappear. </p><p>Joshua, now married and a father, is summoned by Lobsang. It seems he alone can confront the perfect storm of crises that could plunge all of the Long Earth into war--a war unlike any that has come before.</p>
