The End of the World Is Flat

Nifty, often snort-inducingly funny satire The Times Mel Winterbournes modest map-making charity, the Orange Peel Foundation, has achieved all its aims and shes ready to shut it down. But glamorous tech billionaire Joey Talavera has other ideas. He hijacks the foundation for his own purpose: to convince the world that the earth is flat. Using the dark arts of social media at his new masters behest, Mels ruthless young successor, Shane Foxley, turns science on its head. He persuades gullible online zealots that old-style globularism is hateful. Teachers and airline pilots face ruin if they reject the new True Earth orthodoxy. Can Mel and her fellow heretics vilified as True-Earth Rejecting Globularists (Tergs) thwart Orange Peel before insanity takes over? Might the solution to the problem lie in the 15th century? Using his trademark mix of history and satire to poke fun at modern foibles, Simon Edge is at his razor-sharp best in a caper that may be more relevant than you think. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…
