THE COMPANY BUILDS PLANETS.



Kin Arad is a high-ranking official of the Company. After twenty-one decades of living, and with the help of memory surgery, she is at the top of her profession. Discovering two of her employees have placed a fossilized plesiosaur in the wrong stratum, not to mention the fact it is holding a placard which reads, 'End Nuclear Testing Now', doesn't dismay the woman who built a mountain range in the shape of her initials during her own high-spirited youth.



But then came discovery of something which did intrigue Kin Arad. A flat earth was something new...



Terry Pratchett was the acclaimed creator of the global bestselling Discworld series, the first of which, The Colour of Magic, was published in 1983. In all, he was the author of over fifty bestselling books which have sold over 100 million copies worldwide. His novels have been widely adapted for stage and screen, and he was the winner of multiple prizes, including the Carnegie Medal. He was awarded a knighthood for services to literature in 2009, although he always wryly maintained that his greatest service to literature was to avoid writing any.

This book, and 'Dark Side of the Sun' are both sci-fi based novels, rather than Terry Pratchett's usual fare of humorous fantasy. His sci-fi stuff is honestly not to my usual tastes, but if you want something a bit different from the 'same ole same ole' of the Discworld series, you won't go wrong with Strata.
