THE WORLD IS ROUND (del Rey Book)

Their world was 50 times bigger than any world had a right to be. Their days were a year long. They had no moon. Normal seasons didn't exist, and when the natives weren't worried about being roasted alive they lived in dread of freezing to death. Paddelack wasn't a native of Patra-Bannk, but he had been trapped there long enough to hate its insanity with every fiber of his being. Then a crew from far-off Two-Bit arrived to search for a fantastic city and its fabulous treasures. Paddelack greeted them with a vengeance and begged for passage off this crazy world. But the mission commander had something else in mind, and he needed Paddelack's help. So Paddelack stayed on the world he hated, an unwilling captive of a mercenary band. Together they traversed the face of this bizarre planet - plagued by unpredictable natives, beset by irrational weather, and thoroughly confused by the enormity of their predicament.
