Mel Winterbourne, the founder of the modest map-making charity, the Orange Peel Foundation, has accomplished all her goals and is now ready to close it down. However, glamorous tech billionaire Joey Talavera has different plans. He hijacks the foundation for his own nefarious purposes: to convince the world that the earth is flat. Under the direction of Mel's ruthless young successor, Shane Foxley, who wields the dark arts of social media at his master's behest, Shane 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, known as "True-Earth Rejecting Globularists" (Tergs), thwart Orange Peel before insanity takes over? Might the solution to the problem lie in the 15th century?

In his trademark mix of history and satire, Simon Edge is at his razor-sharp best in a caper that may be more relevant than you think.
