Book Description

May 28, 2008
Thirty-five-year-old Hank Foster, a former Special Forces soldier still reeling over the loss of his leg in combat, is recruited into a clandestine organization dedicated to attacking religious institutions. Impatient with the movement's slow progress, Hank subverts the powerful organization and uses their vast network to perpetrate a hoax he feels will rock the world and push the Iconoclast organization's agenda into the spotlight.

The hoax succeeds beyond his wildest dreams and sets into motion a chain of events that bring a real extraterrestrial presence into the open. Earth is rocked by global catastrophe on a level never before imagined, and humanity is confronted by the prospect of alien invasion. Hank discovers a conspiracy as old as time itself. He learns he is responsible for the calamity facing humanity, and what's more, he learns he is the one man capable of exposing the truth that may lead to mankind's salvation.

On its exterior, Paradigm Shift engages the reader with a visual, action-packed, Hollywood-styled blockbuster, but on a deeper, psychological level, the reader is taken along the hero's mythic journey to ultimately confront the true nature of humanity.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thought provoking and imaginative, June 20, 2008
By 
T. Cecola (Orange County, California) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Paradigm Shift: Return of the Angels (Hardcover)
What a great combination of thought-provoking theory about the beginning of life and the explanation of the role of aliens vs. religon. Very easy to read and easy to understand. I finished it in just a few days! I could never have predicted this story line which made it the type of book you can't put down. The character developement is outstanding and the plot draws you in and drives you forward with a strength that only intensifies as you read on. I would recommend this book to everyone I know! Can't believe this is the author's first book! Write more!

5.0 out of 5 stars 5 star action/thriller with depth and meaning, June 4, 2008
I was tremendously surprised by this novel. I bought it because I was drawn to the connection between angels and aliens, but I fell in love with the realistic characters and vivid storytelling. I was thrilled to discover a deeply thought out plot which challenged my view of the world. The main character, Hank, an ex-commando who lost a leg in combat, is an interesting hero, and very human. I can't wait for the movie!

5.0 out of 5 stars Smart page turner, June 6, 2008
This review is from: Paradigm Shift: Return of the Angels (Hardcover)
The author asks all the right questions about how we came to believe in a higher power and how we manage to coexist. He then provides a realistic answer based on critical thinking within the framework of a great action novel. If the Da Vinci Code was provocative then Paradigm Shift is mind bending. This is a must read for those who want more than what's been spoon fed to them by organized religions, politicians and our respective cultures. Do your self a favor, read the book and don't be afraid to question your current way(s) of thinking. Even if you ultimately don't agree with the premise, you still enjoy the ride. I read this book in two sittings. Couldn't put it down.
