Paradox: Traveler (Time Paradox Series Book 1)

Rather than a few spheres working around a subject, or on apparatus, there were thousands of us all darting around the one large complex. It was hard to make out the walls from the inside; some were completely transparent, others opaque. Two metres thick and formed from amiduranium crystal, impenetrable even to a neutron burst. A supernova could blow the planet away, yet each one of the massive crystals that had grown out from the planetary core and existed four thousand miles deep would survive. The Secret Sentient Complex existed within a single crystal, rising thousands of stories up into the liquid outer core.

A city that had been grown and then hollowed for our use. Not that the enemy even knew we still existed. To them, we would be myth by now.

It was the same tech that we used to criss-cross the galaxy. The planet core housed a stable civilisation of two trillion, all working away on numerous projects. All hidden away since our near extinction at the battle of Torrendior.

Although since being here, I had only met the few hundred who worked in this crystal. And only one of them paid me any attention. It was my Alpha, so to be fair, it was obliged to. Technology like this made it very hard for anything to remain hidden from us for long. Today could be the day that I escape. My mission in the sentient project had been a failure.

But then how had any of the Alphas expected a researcher who specialised in longevity materials to help with finding sentient life? My very existence here was being questioned. I was not meant to know this, but I could tell. At best I was treated like a tiresome irritant.

My fellows discussed amino acids, behaviours, and evolution. Conversations that were alien to me. At a push I could inform them on fossilization, but still this was life that was long dead.

Ultimately inert, inactive matter. Grady Harp, June June 10, - Published on Amazon. Coming as someone who needed to invest substantial effort and patience into reading Stanislaw Lem's Solaris, I was not surprised to discover that the journey through Sanders' second sequel in the book series made me raise my eyebrows a few times. The main character in the book lives in four different bodies: An avid sci-fi enthusiast, the author writes mostly in first person and delves into characters' destiny with enviable knowledge on the subject.

While reading through the pages filled up with events, I could not help but connect my sense to the famous 'stream of consciousness' I met in Virginia Woolf and James Joyce classics, yet raised to a new level of simulated consciousness. The narrative here is multi-dimensional and transcends inner monologue. I loved the super-hero feel of the main players when meeting fear, adversity, death and violence. There is enough suspense vibe across the millennial saga to keep you on your toes. A 3-star review only because of my poor science fiction mental database, otherwise more than a worthwhile read for fans of time travel and questioning reality.

I have not read the previous book in this series, however, I was hoping the introduction would explain some of the events in the prior book to get a handle on what is going on in Convergent Paradox. Sadly, I think the intro could have been better used to set the stage.

The Time Paradox

When Butler is ordered by Koboi to take out the younger Artemis, he fights Koboi's mesmer and has a heart attack, but is revived by Artemis with a defibrillator. Opal recovers quickly and flees; however, realizing that Artemis and his forces have been significantly weakened in the battle, she returns. Artemis takes "the lemur" and flies away from the Manor grounds in a plane, luring Opal away. In the ensuing chase, Opal exhibits the astonishing strength she has won in her research on endangered animals, pulverizing entire sections of the plane with her fists, and eventually forcing Artemis to crash land on the coastline, breaking his collarbone in the process.

Artemis escapes from the wreckage of the plane and runs to the shore, ascending a rope bridge and crossing over two large boulders. Opal relentlessly pursues him, eventually obtaining the lemur, only to discover that it's not actually a lemur, but Artemis' little brother's play-thing, Professor Primate.

Artemis shoots the boulder which Opal is standing on and reveals it to be the shell of a kraken that was unknown to anyone except Artemis himself. The shell explodes and Opal is buried beneath the rubble.

When a Lower Elements Police team search for her, they find she has disappeared. The Last Guardian , it is then revealed that the original Opal had kidnapped her in order to kill her so to start yet another paradox.

Artemis debriefs the others and finds that his mother knows everything that happened to her. Nonetheless, he retains an interest in fairies that will set the original events of the series' first book in motion. It is then revealed that in addition to the initial time 'paradox' that occurs when Artemis goes back in time to save the Lemur, another second paradox exists, because Artemis' interest in fairies sets off a series of events, which have originated from his initial interest in fairies.

In this way, both these events are dependent on each other.

The series of events that inspires his interest in fairies is also dependent on the second time paradox, from which the reader concludes that a time paradox is always dependent on another. When everyone is gone, Artemis tells his mother the truth about everything, because Opal forgot to wipe his mother's mind. The Artemis Fowl series rose from ninth to second in the children's book section of the New York Times bestselling list, and remained there for some time after it achieved the place on the week of the US release. Stuart Kelly commented, "Why Harry Potter became a phenomenon while Artemis Fowl only remains a huge sensation is a conundrum for future ages to ponder Colfer doesn't handle time-travel, he revels in it.

VOYA remarked, "Colfer delivers another great story filled with action, drama, and clever plot twists that will please new readers as well as series fans. What sets this series apart, however, is its ability to rise above predictability. The characters change and grow more complex with each book This combination of ingenious plot and authentic characters who evolve over time is a pleasure to read and leaves readers begging for more.
