Eclipse Star Destroyer

The Eclipse Paradox

For decorated Sergeant Dax Raoh, a lifelong comic book fan, the ideals of truth and justice were once simple. That was before the mission in the remote desert, before the mysterious NovaSyne container that whispered in the dark, and before the catastrophic blast that annihilated everything in a ten-kilometer radius—except for him. Now, possessing superhuman abilities and burdened by the crushing guilt of being the sole survivor, Dax is unceremoniously discharged by a military that wants to bury its secrets. Facing a mountain of debt and the systemic failure of the institutions meant to help veterans like him, he sees the hypocrisy of a society that celebrates fictional heroes while abandoning real ones. To provide for his wife, Sana—the one person he would do anything for—he must embrace the darkness that saved his life. He becomes Paradox: a meticulous and brutally efficient bank robber targeting the corporate predators who prey on the weak. This new purpose—part pragmatism, part vengeance—is complicated when he stumbles upon a human trafficking operation. The brutal efficiency with which he dismantles it reveals a shocking capacity for violence within him, blurring the line between justice and his own rage. As news reports surface of another super-powered being halfway across the world, Dax realizes his awakening was not unique. He is a player in a much larger, more dangerous game, one involving a cosmic horror that whispers promises of power at a terrible price. The Eclipse Paradox is the story of a man trying to live up to his childhood ideals in a world that has shattered them, a soldier fighting a new kind of war where the only way to win may be to sacrifice his own soul.
