The Shadow Paradigm - Book 1: Project Orb Weaver Sci-fi Adventure Psychological
Gardening, cooking, innovation, preservation, charity events... Madzistrale, Tom and Gabzryel does it all. But when they encounter the mysterious Shiakar Paradigm Society, a clash of paradigms ensues. Although both groups are aiming to make humanity stand stronger, their ideals and methods could not be further apart. Between the trio's optimistic yet naive ideals, and the SPS's tried-and-true surgical methods, determining the answer which methods can better humanity is a struggle that both parties must resolve in their own ways...
Welcome to the 7th revision of my 10+ years ongoing novel trilogy. This revision took out some flawed plot concepts to re-introduce a more down-to-earth, film noir-like ambience, where a battle of wits is what will determine the outcome. It also added instead more in-depth expansion into the lives and mindsets of the characters, especially the heroes (a missing factor in older versions). Third-view limited storytelling was also introduced more prominently over my favoured third-view omnipotent, with each chapters concentrating as much as possible on a single character's point of view instead of head-hopping.
So I shall begin uploading the chapters as I finish them; they're edited as much as I can, but there'll most likely be some typos and mistakes.
As always, I welcome your comments and critiques, and I hope you enjoy reading that story as much as I did creating it!
A parting poem to introduce the story (translated from its original French version):

Firmly, the sky writhes
When a mouth begets a death
There, I will give my life to hear you
To tell you the most tender words
When all becomes all alone
I'll break my life for a song
And to lives that stoop to notice mine
I know I will say goodbye
But a fraction of this life
I would give anything, anytime
The universe has its mysteries
Words are our lives
You could kill a life with words
Soul, how would it feel?
If our lives are so fragile
Words are mysteries
Words of feelings
Words of love, a temple
If one swept the world away
One could touch the universe
I will tell you how the sun rose high
We could with a word become one
And for all those words that hurts us
There are those that touches us
Which illuminates, touches the infinity
Even if nothingness exists
For a fraction on this life
We will give anything, anytime
The universe has its mysteries
Words are our lives
We could kill a life with words
Soul, how would it feel?
If our lives are so fragile
Words are mysteries
Words of feelings
Words of love, a temple
