"Carpet People", which may or may not have a "The" in front...I really can't remember...is pretty much set up like a generic fantasy novel. Young man from a remote town must travel to see the world, save his people from an evil menace, and become a hero - stuff like that. Along the way, he discovers he has a mysterious power. The usual.
Except that it takes place in, well, a carpet. The major natural disaster that strikes people of the carpet is 'Fray'. Varnish is mined from a pillar that is said to stretch to the heavens. It's called 'Achairleg'.
I've read "The Dark Side Of The Sun", though I can't remember much about the plot. I recall the protagonist undergoes some kind of regenerative treatment that makes him go all green, and his Godfather is a sentient planet, a planet who rents his services out as the Galaxy's largest bank, but not much beyond that.
Like "Strata", and the world of "Truckers", "Diggers", and "Wings", it doesn't look like sequels to these two novels are coming down the river anytime soon.
