Opis

In the vein of Arthur C. Clark and Clifford Simak, science fiction novelist Mike Powers unveils the intriguing world of New Paradigm, one of six planets in a separate solar system far from Earth, which has been claimed by ten thousand human colonists hopeful for a fresh start.

Intent on building an advanced community free from the unnecessary restrictions of Earth, the colonists embrace open marriages and unhampered lifestyles with an eye toward building a society strengthened by interwoven relationships. Their contact with Earth is limited to a yearly check-in, since regular communiques are so slow, and the energy-intensive dimensional communication drains too many resources to be used for anything more than emergencies.

So when the colonists hear from a nearby race of highly intelligent beings known as the Watchers about a grave disaster eradicating the inhabitants of other planets, they must decide for themselves whether they should fight alongside these alien creatures to stop the unknown enemy.

Tracing the first hundred years of the space colony, "New Paradigm" is rich with unforgettable characters and thrilling exploration that will stretch your notions of what is possible."
