Logistical Edge

Fifteen-year-old Orion Jumo has spent years preparing for this moment. Identified during his Branching for exceptional skills in logistics, he earned the Certs required to excel. These certifications, the currency of progress in a world driven by supply chain logistics, opened the door to his future. His dedication secured him a prestigious position at the QuickBites Logistics Division, the beating heart of the continent’s food distribution. Living and working in the iconic One-Fourteen, Orion excels in the fast-paced, AI-driven environment and begins his ascent through the ranks of the logistical corporate ladder. 

But cracks in the system begin to show. Strange data anomalies and whispers of hidden priorities embedded in trusted algorithms force Orion to confront uncomfortable truths about the world he was trained to trust. With every discovery, Orion’s perspective shifts, challenging what he thought he knew about efficiency, fairness, and progress. The deeper he delves, the more he realizes that the system’s design may not be as flawless—or as just—as it seems. 

Set in a richly imagined future where supply chain logistics is society’s lifeblood, Logistical Edge is a gripping tale of discovery, growth, and one young man’s journey to uncover the hidden flaws in a world ruled by algorithms. For fans of Lois McMaster Bujold, Pierce Brown, and Nathan Lowell, this thought-provoking debut blends high-stakes action, systemic critique, and character-driven storytelling.
