Imagine two worlds at war. In one, citizens with jetpacks and ray guns
have colonized Venus. In the other, magic reigns supreme, and history
turns on swords and spells. Now imagine they have just discovered a
third world.
Our world.
Our timeline of rideshare apps and strip malls is about to become the
newest battlefield in the long war between science fiction and fantasy.
In Florida, assassins are hunting down optical scientist Felicia Scurry.
Her only chance of survival lies with long haul trucker Bucephalus Troy,
who has stumbled into a world he calls Bamalot, a swords and sorcery
version of today where magic works and science never happened. In
Seattle, YouTube blogger Charity Kong is on the trail of a
jetpack-wearing secret agent who broke her heart. And in a sinister
secret college deep under Oxford, a failed comic book artist just might
have started a Three Worlds War.
Legendary science fiction writer Neal Stephenson teams up with World
Fantasy Award-winning author Sean Stewart (Galveston; Cathy's Book)
and Austin Grossman (Soon I Will Be Invincible) to present New Found
Land: The Long Haul, a thrilling, hilarious, and mind-bending audio
drama in the tradition of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

rollicking adventure about ordinary people rising to an extraordinary
moment.

Snyder, Gregory Connors, Izabel Mar, John Zdrojeski, Steve Routman,
