Paradox (Helland)

The epic Paradox saga begins here, in small-town Angel, Nebraska. Ever since his wife and child died, Jett King has spent his life avoiding change. But when his best friend invents time-travel and a mysterious stranger claims his son is alive, Jett must choose to face a world he never knew existed. Follow his journey as he meets the happy-go-lucky Robbie, the brave Parker, the mysterious Duke and the devious Ivan. From a frozen wasteland to a planet rumored to be alive, Jett searches for answers about his son, as well as the dark truth behind his best friend.

Mere days after saving Reka, Duke brings his new friends to Nova Atlantis, a research center named after the legendary utopia. But beneath the shiny exterior are long buried secrets. An unknown time traveler is on the loose, and a scientist is found dead on the neighboring coast. The Paradox team must face fire, water, divisions, treachery, a deserted island and more to uncover what they each stand for and where their loyalties lie. Through it all, a heavy fear rests over them - which is soon realized with the reappearance of an old foe.
