Geo the Space Explorer Book 1 Orsus: Orsus

By Carole Louise Foot and Elizabeth Hickson

Every epic story needs a beginning - this is the Orsus

The pets of an Australian single parent and her little girl are launched in a rocket in search of alien races. After crash landing on the Planetary System of Luna Tribus, a Chocolate Labrador and pair of opinionated albino rats embark on a perilous quest to find their way home. In a universe where it is an act of treason to harbour animals, Ro, an anxious cartographer from Kaleido, Octy, a naive Octavian and Ellie, a runaway from Rectangulum City, must find courage to protect Geo the Space Explorer.

This is the first book of a completed 23 book series that will be published in quick succession. Each book is a self contained story, featuring an ensemble of heroes, villains and brown dogs, that over the series tell an even greater epic tale

Series description

A mysterious network of corridors, situated between space and time, are the intersection between countless, starkly contrasting worlds; the battlegrounds where tenacious forces of light and darkness engage in an eternal struggle.

This is a series of epic tales; of love, friendship, honour and valour, where Chocolate Labradors are never far from the action and adventures. Geo the Space Explorer and his canine counterparts, offer support and crucial insights in a universe that keeps getting bigger; where magic and the concept of an 'alien' is perpetually redefined. Follow key characters, families and dynasties, centre stage to brutal intergenerational conflicts, fight for what they hold dear, as fundamental truths are unravelled.

Who created this construct? Who controls it?

From theme parks to mines, gaming arcades to motor racing, musical theatre to safaris, join your favourite heroes, villains and brown dogs as an armchair traveler. Allow the Australian authors to draw on their real-world extensive travels to every continent; immersing you in the wonders of our world and those of their imaginations.
