I told myself I was gonna brainstorm up a better blurb for Paradox, then write it down and put it on the product page. Well, I had the sequence wrong. I had to sit down and start writing first.
Then the idea formed. Here’s my new, improved brain drizzle storm:
What danger is posed by a latchkey trailer park kid living on stale hotdog buns and pipe dreams of gridiron glory? That's just what he'd like to know, after barely escaping a nigh-invisible death squad that bursts through a dimensional portal with guns blazing.
His initial survival is thanks to his time-traveling Uncle Simon, who places him in a makeshift cross-continuum witness protection program, with a new home, a new family, and a new identity. Ike Jaeger now has a chance at a good life, in an America that's still exceptional--not fundamentally transforming into a third world socialist police state.
Ike is content to live a normal, low-key life immersed in vintage Americana, chasing girls, building hotrods, street racing and playing football. Well, as normal as it can be when it includes accidental detours into a postapocalyptic dystopia, extra-terrestrial battles with prehistoric monsters, and aerial dogfights with Red Chinese drones. Nevertheless, Uncle Si is usually there to help him navigate through both space-time death traps and the slightly less dangerous journey to manhood.
But the attempt on his life was no fluke. A pan-continuum conspiracy has targeted Ike for "erasure." To save himself, he may just have to save the world, first.
Well, one world, anyway.
This is hot off the press, so I haven’t even gone through the normal self-editing process yet. But my gut is telling me it’s much better. Don’t ask me what my gut was thinking the first time. Or how my gut can talk.
It seems fine as far as communicating what the story is about
