The Shing have destroyed the League of Worlds, keeping the planets apart and in a semi-barbaric state; until an alien-eyed man with no memory appears on Earth ready to challenge the status quo in Ursula LeGuin's City of Illusions.
This novel is an early entry in what became known as LeGuin's Hainish Cycle, which features some of her best-known works, including The Left Hand of Darkness and The Dispossessed. Nonetheless it really stands on its own, though the main character hails from the planet featured in Planet of Exile.
This is a trippy sci-fi adventure from the 60s with a lot of neat ideas in a straightforward quest-style plot framework. I got this from www.paperbackswap.com in a bound edition with two earlier works in this series, Rocannon's World and Planet of Exile, good reads all.
