Kurzbeschreibung
Kin Arad ist Planetengestalterin und wacht über den Bau neuer Welten. Dabei hat sie jede Menge Ärger mit ihren Mitarbeitern, die sich immer wieder alberne Scherze erlauben. Und dann taucht ein geheimnisvoller Fremder auf, der behauptet, eine flache Welt entdeckt zu haben, auf der Magier und Dämonen ihr Unwesen treiben.
