Kin Arad is in charge of resurfacing a new planet for colonization when Jago Jalo shows up and spins a slightly fantastical tale. Being extremely curious to know if any of it is true she decides to take him up on his offer of visiting a world which is flat.
When showing up at the place and time mentioned, she is thrust into a situation she never imagined. It involves a Kung who thinks he is human and a Shand who is quite civilized, considering the species. They eventually make their way to the planet after the untimely death of Jago.
While on the planet they run afoul of the native people on numerous occasions, but eventually find their way to the center and discover who the maker of the flat world is.
A superbly written novel with a hint of satire. While the story is engaging and interesting;the real world problems it pokes fun at are still as revelant today as when it was written thirty years ago.
