Sam’s life is simple, driving around the wilds with his
friend Nathan, selling junk from the back of the car, his beloved red GTO that
they have managed to collect, which are mainly old electronic gadgets that many
people now in the future do not use anymore.
On what they think will be a quick and simple trip into the
city, Century City turns out to be an eye opener of the start of an adventure,
when they stumble across a dying monk who mysteriously asks Sam to return a
box. The box looks strangely familiar to
Sam. The box is called The Paradigm Device.
Sam soon finds his life is about to change that others want
the box. Sam finds himself on the run from Carolyn Bast a woman who not only
runs her own company, but seemingly runs the city too. Sam is unaware he is
carrying a key that not only Carolyn Bast is after, but something far more
dangerous called MUTHA a powerful artificial entity that has been watching and
waiting for Sam to return.
Just what is the importance of the key? And why is Sam so
closely connected to it?
Set in the United States in the future when the world as we
know it as all but disappeared, and humans try and survive on the resources
left, a world that they have only ever known.
Paradigm is one of those great unpredictable stories, I like not knowing
what is coming next, and the story intrigued me right to the very end. I will look
forward to reading more books by the author Helen Stringer.
