The Eclipse Paradox

Sergeant Dax Raoh was a good soldier, a good man, a man who believed in the black-and-white morality of the comic books he grew up reading. That world died during the "Eclipse"—a disastrous, seventeen-second tear in reality caused by a corporate particle collider experiment he was assigned to protect. The event killed his wife, brilliant physicist Sana, and infected Dax with an impossible power, governed by a game-like "System" that only he and a select few can see.



One year later, Dax is a cynical, grief-stricken veteran, dishonorably discharged and abandoned by the very institutions he served. He operates on the fringes of society—using his powers of telekinesis and a unique form of tactile telekinesis that grants him superhuman strength, speed and durability—for under-the-table jobs. Every dollar he earns fuels a secret, one-man war against the corrupt NovaSyne corporation he holds responsible for Sana's death.



His quest for vengeance takes a dangerous turn when a high-paying retrieval job lands him with a mysterious, lead-lined artifact. He is immediately hunted by the Penumbra, a fanatical cult that worships these relics and the monstrous, reality-bending "Shadows" that now plague the world. Forced to confront the truth that his powers are a symptom of a cosmic horror slowly digesting reality, Dax realizes he can no longer fight alone.



His only hope is Dr. Aris Thorne, a disgraced physicist and Sana's former colleague, who has been ostracized for his theories about the Eclipse. Together, they discover the horrifying truth: the artifact is not a key to power, but a seed for the world-ending Anomaly. And they just helped it hatch.
