In 2554, the World is Coming to its End, unless an impossible mission through 600 years of time travel succeeds. Maternal instinct knows no boundaries, including the nano-neural-net intravenously installed in Dannia Weston's mind to repress her identity, allowing her to perform a mission 300 years before her time. Transported to the year 1954, Dannia becomes a woman with a mid-twentieth century persona, college educated with an aptitude for mechanical invention. Due to her work during the war, she is employed by the U.S. government on a secret project. But what no one knows-including Dannia or those who sent her back to tinker with the mechanical past to reduce future pollution-is what might happen should she become emotionally involved in 1954. The 2254 science team programmed the nano-net to prevent the possibility of pregnancy, but each person reacts to strong emotional stimuli differently, and using birth control not available in 1954 is out of the question. When Dannia falls in love with Peter Hersh and becomes pregnant, her hormones erode a small section of the nano-chained network that stabilizes her new identity, triggering a mild memory rebirth...and threatening her mission and the fate of the world.… (altro)

I consider Gabriel F. W. Koch a talented and versatile author who manages to bring the best of his characters to his readers. A sci-fi book based on time travel and love, The Paradox Effect creates a captivating story about Dannia Weston, an agent from the future of 2254, who has been sent back in time to prevent catastrophic events. I liked how well-rounded the characters were and how, by introducing an unexpected twist to the plot, like her falling in love and having a child with Peter, new concepts and threats were brought to the reader's attention, such as a timeline anomaly or the presence of a child that represents the union of the future and the past. With every attempt at their lives, I found myself on a roller coaster of emotions but mostly amazed by the power and ingenuity of Dannia’s character when thrown into the face of the unknown and danger.

Paradox Effect is a time travelling/science fiction novel that centres on and around Dannia Weston (the main protagonist) an agent working for the government. She is transported through time and is now living in the year 1954, nobody in the year 1954 is aware (not even Dannia) that she is actually from the year 2554 so when she falls in love with Peter the “future” is threatened!

What did I love about this book?
1.The love story. It was truly entertaining. The two protagonists, Dannia and Peter were not only meant for each other, but it was as if they were destined to be together.

2. The excitement, the anticipation. The plot twists and turns that had me really engaged all the way through.

If you’re a sci-fi fan and you haven't read this book, I’d suggest giving it a go. I’d say you can expect a literary experience that is pretty unique, and it’s rare for me to find a book this enjoyable from a lesser known author.

This story had a little of everything which kept me enthralled right from the first chapter until the end. Highly recommended. ( )

The Paradox Effect: Time Travel and Purified DNA Merge to Halt the Collapse of Human Existence by Gabriel F.W. Koch is a science fiction time travel adventure. The book centers around Dannia who is on a time-traveling mission in 1954 from the year 2554 to help save the world. The book starts off by diving right into the story and it takes a couple of chapters to really understand what is going on and to start to understand the characters. It is a fast-paced novel that was easy to read and kept me entertained. I really loved how well-developed Dannia was and enjoyed some of the other characters in the book as well such as Peter. I found myself rooting for Dannia and laughing along with her, cheering her on, and hoping she was able to successfully complete her mission. ( )

"The sight filled him with strength, and the knowledge that the work he performed had a profound and long-reaching effect on human history, both past and future."

When Dannia is transported to 1954 from 2554, she takes on the identity of a lady from the middle of the 20th century who has a college education and a talent for mechanical ingenuity. She is currently working for the US government on a top-secret project as a result of her work during the conflict. Nobody, not even Dannia or the people who sent her back in time to tinker with the mechanical past in order to lessen pollution, is aware of what may occur if she becomes emotionally involved in 1954.

The author gives the reader a vivid and detailed description of the story's locations, making us feel as if we can experience the surroundings for ourselves. Initially, it was a little hard to connect with the story, and I couldn't relate to the universe that was being created. I couldn't put the book down once I got a handle on that world. The author has written the story so creatively that it will take you away to another world. It's sci-fi, yet I consider it to be a light read. The narration is fast-paced and the story is well developed. ( )

In 2554, the World is Coming to its End, unless an impossible mission through 600 years of time travel succeeds.

The characters in Paradox Effect really entertained me, each have their own personality traits and I really feel as if I got to know them. The plot line is quite complex but I found it easy enough to follow after I got a couple of chapters in, and it gripped me from that point on. The sometimes subtle humour had me smiling at certain points too. If you love to be entertained and have a giggle whilst reading then I suggest you give this book a read. A very good Sci-Fi novel.
