The Paradox Paradox

Daniel Hardcastle

The Paradox Paradox is a dark sci-fi comedy set hundreds of years in the future. It's also set a fair few years in the past.

In 500 or so years the galaxy is at peace. Eight species one of them human, the rest very much not have spent centuries working, living and learning together, creating a galaxy-wide utopia known as the Affinity. Poverty has been eradicated, violence is virtually non-existent, and nobody even takes the last biscuit anymore. Not even if it's a Hobnob.

We join this universe as the Affinity launches its greatest project yet. A time machine, created to explore, experience and preserve the history of the eight races. Kez, our hero, is tasked with leading these delicate expeditions to Earth's past, where one wrong move could wipe out the entire human race. It's a tough job, but Kez is unmatched in intelligence, experience and achievements. She's the right woman for this job.

With so much at stake, it's a real pity that Kez cheated on her exams, lied about everything she's ever done and is about as trustworthy as a sign in a spider's web that reads, 'flies welcome'. She would totally take the last biscuit, Hobnob or not.

The Paradox Paradox is a darkly hilarious and compelling ride into the future, the past and various alternate dimensions that arise when powerful masterminds wrestle to control the universe.
