Journey with astronaut James Holden as he is thrust into an alternate reality where JFK survived Dallas, 9/11 never happened, and where even his wife sees him as a stranger.
​
Stranded in a world that feels both familiar and alien, Holden must rely on two unlikely allies: a renowned physicist who pushes the boundaries of modern science and an enigmatic shaman who claims the answers lie in ancient, hidden truths.
​
Now married to a cold-hearted heiress who believes he’s gone insane and pursued by relentless covert agents, Holden faces an impossible choice: risk shattering reality by confronting his alternate self—or lose the chance to return home forever.
​
Blending cutting-edge science with the mysticism of forgotten worlds, The Paradigm Shift is a gripping tale of identity, survival, and the lengths we’ll go to reclaim what we’ve lost.
Perfect for fans of high-stakes thrillers with a mind-bending twist.
