Far Arena (Part Five of the Okal Rel Saga) A sophisticated society run by incorruptible AIs is prepared to do anything for their own survival.... With Amel's life hanging in the balance, Rire and Sevildom square off over their political differences. Sevolites have finally acknowledged the vulnerable but civilized people of the Reetion Confederacy as independent commoners. But the supposedly enlightened Reetions prove far from being the harmless pacifists they claim to be — the overt concern about Amel’s mental health masks a deep fear for the security of their incorruptible AIs which are key for their survival. The Reetions want the answers Amel has locked deep inside his memory, and some of them want to change his personality medically. As the rising social hysteria sets the stage for diplomacy between the Reetions and Sevildom, Amel’s Reetion-raised brother, Erien, is forced into realization that even a civilization based on total transparency can be twisted in its motives for pursuing the truth...prepared to stop at nothing to gain it.

Reviews and Interviews have appeared in: Barbara Coupe Mark Shegelski “Reading your words was a wonderful treat and a reward for completing the first year of my Masters. You have created massively complicated and intricate societies. I was entranced by the characters and blown away by the action. What a delight your books were to read. Thank you for sharing your imagination with the rest of us!" - Barbara Coupe "Far Arena is my first read in the Okal Rel Saga, the fifth book by Lynda Williams in her series. My decision: I want to start the series and read all the books! Although new to Okal Rel, it was easy for me to see why the books are so popular and highly praised. Williams has the rare ability to develop her characters, show us the story, maintain tension, and do all three at the same time. The characters are deep and intricate. The story moves quickly; the pages keep turning. The universe is unique and developed in impressive detail. I found the conclusion of the book to be very satisfying, leaving me wanting to read the previous books. The final chapter of the book is compelling. It told me more about the intriguing character Di Mon, and I could not help wondering how things all began. If you've read one or more of the previous books in this series, you'll love Far Arena. And if, like me, this is your first dip in, you've got five guaranteed good reads waiting for you. You can't go wrong with Far Arena.” — Mark Shegelski , Amazon.com
