The ORU is a 10 novel series, published by Edge Science Fiction and Fantasy, set in a very different universe. The character-driven stories tackle themes of culture clash in a context where all-out war is so horrific it is all but obsolete, but passions still run high.

Too big to be restricted to the main series, the ORU is also the setting of related works by both origin author, Lynda Williams, and votary authors.

Author Lynda Williams lives in Prince George, BC, Canada.
