The War of Oz is an retelling of the classic story by Frank Baum. It is written in the form of a modern Science Fiction/Fantasy Novel. The story follows an all together different version of Dorothy who finds herself in the strange world of Oz. But this Oz is not the same one described by Baum. It is a violent and bloody world where the wrong turn can lead Dorothy into a fight to the death. Please note this story is not for children and should be treated as such. It deals with violence and death in a gruesome yet sometimes humorous manner. Please, keep an open mind while reading.
