The Lorel Experiment is a prequel story, seminal to the Okal Rel Saga. There’s something fascinating about it. Many things in fact, but let me tell you at least one.
Although it's a novella, The Lorel Experiment has the makings of an epic story in itself. It does span multiple generations… and it sets something in motion that will eventually grow into the larger saga, connecting our near future (the 22nd century) and the far future where the Okal Rel Saga takes place. A smaller saga within a larger saga. Magnitudes of epicness.
How does Lynda Williams do it? She does it in a fascinating, clever, touching and compelling way.
