Anti-Paradox
A Quantum Dual World is about to be Revealed
They’re back!
Theoretical physicist, Professor Hans Verlink and his graduate student, Katrien De Vries from Waking Iceman have uncovered another information engine in a remote Guatemalan Bioreserve area called El Zotz.
Anti-Paradox continues where C.R. Wahl’s Waking Iceman left off, taking the reader on a non-stop techno-thriller ride through the jungles of Guatemala to Amsterdam and beyond to another dimension…
A quantum dual world is about to be revealed …
At a remote archaeological site in Guatemala, Archaeologists discover a mysterious artifact hidden under a giant Mayan pyramid.
There’s only one problem; it doesn’t belong there. So who made it, and where did it come from?
It will be up to theoretical physicists Hans Verlink and his brilliant graduate student, Katrien De Vries, to devise an elaborate experiment to unravel the mystery. But when their investigation takes an unexpected turn, they are sent on a perilous journey to another world and must find their way back home.
In 2010, a tomb belonging to the Mayan city’s first ruler circa 350 – 400 AD had been discovered underneath El Diablo. Alcina had thought that was the end of the discoveries. But today, El Diablo continued to surprise. He placed his finger on the map and ran his finger along the original tunnel. He then traced out the path of the new one and tapped his finger slowly. The builders covered that portal for a reason. I wonder what they were trying to hide.
Twilight came quickly in the jungle. The shadows of trees, gnarled and often grotesque, flickered like ghosts in the jeep’s headlights. The night deepened, and the whine of the vehicle droned on—lulling everyone into a kind of stupor as they tried to make sense of what had happened.
Alcina shook his head. This ancient plaque is a curse. Three people are probably dead, and we may yet be next. The artifact strapped behind him was never made by the Maya, nor did it even originate here in this world. The Maya somehow understood that, so they heaped tons of rock on top of it—making a tower to warn others.
Alcina turned and looked at the plaque. It was geometrically perfect with symbols etched with a precision that was beyond the reach of the Maya. Verlink’s story, no matter how improbable, had to be true.
Verlink stared at the pulsing haze of green light. It was a metastable field—existing between two worlds, and soon, it might be transporting living matter into another world. He realized he’d assumed that an impasse would develop along the way to slow things down, but it never came. He’d checked Katrien’s calculations over and over and could find no error, no inconsistency.
A tingle traveled up the back of his neck. If all goes well with the live animal, there came the question they dare not ask. Neither he nor Katrien had brought up the possibility of whether a human should be next. But Verlink was certain Katrien had, and he worried she might seriously consider it for herself.
He returned his gaze on the undulating glow. It was seductive, spinning a web that he had somehow fallen into, flickering in his eyes like a strange alien dance, leaving him wondering, What world lies beyond those quantum waves?
Something is brewing …
In an obscure area of digital space, something twitched. It was no more than a bundle of bits within the vast memory banks of the Kytherian engine. It had structure, with patterns that shifted and changed but, by any measure, unnoteworthy and insignificant.
Yet, it continued to self-organize, slowly gathering in size, like dust collecting in the corner of an unused room. Its activities fluctuated below the surface, flitting back and forth as if it were a baby deep in REM sleep. It bided its time, slowly accessing information, learning as it grew, then suddenly—it yawned and found itself awake.
