The Twin Paradox

The Twin Paradox – INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER

With ten years passing for every three minutes on a remote stretch of Texas coast, planes fall out of the sky, evolved species are on the hunt, and people die inside one of the most vicious ecosystems ever grown–all a result of the government’s efforts to slow down time.

A lot can happen in ten years. That’s the point. Governments are always racing for supremacy, for scientific breakthroughs, for technological advantages–and these things take time.

Until something goes wrong.

With the grounded yet massive world-building of READY PLAYER ONE, thrilling scientific questions of JURASSIC PARK, and the time-bending teen drama of BEFORE I FALL, Wachter’s THE TWIN PARADOX is a brilliantly plotted tale that is both intimate and massive, relentless yet deliberate, and explores the themes of self-acceptance, self-confidence, and natural selection in a richly hued and unforgettable world. Ultimately the eternal question of Nature versus Nurture is boiled down into this fast-paced thriller told over the course of five days and culminates in one single question:

Do we get to choose who we are?

REVIEWS:
“Science. Twists. Big ideas. The Twin Paradox has it all.”
A.G. Riddle, international bestselling author of The Atlantis Gene.

“I loved it. Wachter’s The Twin Paradox is a rare combination of fresh ideas, big thriller hooks and a great read. It’s a rollercoaster of fun.”
Charles Duhigg, bestselling author of The Power of Habit and Smarter Faster Better

“This is skillfully structured, suspenseful, handsomely descriptive, mysterious science-fiction. It moves fast and brims with humor and wonder about morality and the nature of genius and the self. Once again, and amazingly enough, Charles Wachter manages to meet us where we are in the uncertain, ever-shifting moment.”
Wesley Morris, Critic at Large, The New York Times
