Future Comes from Behind (Paradigm Shift, #1)

By STK Chan

A woman able to traverse the memories of time joins the battle against the darkness of the past to force mankind into redemption.

"Tightly conceived and smoothly choreographed sci-fi fantasy. Higher aspects of human nature." Recommended, The US Review of Books

When Lisa was five, she watched her world crumble during an armed rebellion. In the midst of war and the capture of her father, she accidentally accessed Exo, the realm of mankind’s past deeds. Twenty-three years later, Lisa learns that the few able to access it are called shamans. They come from various times, and their ancient duty in Exo is to stand against the darkness of the past, materialized through battle reenactments and perpetual conflict. Both their triumphs and defeats have a ripple effect outside of Exo, causing echoes that push mankind toward the better or the worse. Their eternal hope is to attain a Paradigm Shift that will forever tip the balance in favor of good. Consumed with the nature of evil ever since her childhood trauma, Lisa develops her shamanic powers and becomes a strong fighter, along with a confidence that bleeds over into her actions in the real world.

"'Paradigm Shift: Future Comes from Behind' by S.T.K. Chan is an exciting, fast-moving work that explores how different actions can set off unforeseen chains of events and the ramifications of standing by and allowing evil to make its course. This novel is perfect for fantasy lovers who want a taste of science fiction and is certain to keep its audience engaged throughout!" Reader Views
