Description
Michael, I have been given the gift of time-travel
That s nice! I only get given socks.
Professor Jason Fielding has finally built the time-machine he hopes will enable him to prevent the murder of his parents thirty years earlier, but the prototype has some interesting quirks
While escaping the clutches of a sinister new Prime Minister, government secret agent Michael Karpathian is unwittingly drawn into the device and propelled back to the day before the murders, where the machine's idiosyncrasies become apparent - several versions of him appear, each dominated by a different part of his personality.
Is one of the instances of Karpathian driven by his killer instinct? Has Fielding created a paradox where Karpathian is responsible for the original murders? Why does the Prime Minister s ascendancy spell doom for the entire world?
Reading like a B-movie cross between Time Tunnel, Red Dwarf and James Bond, Reading like a B-movie cross between Doctor Who, Time Tunnel, Red Dwarf and James Bond, The Karpathian Paradox is particularly suited to fans of light-hearted sci-fi, or the young at heart who nostalgically remember the innocent thrill of Saturday morning serials, along with anyone who has ever thought "I wish I could go back and change that ."
Be careful what you wish for
