Defying Fate E-BOOK

Ike Jaeger has made it to college, earning a degree he may put to use colonizing Planet Valhalla, or designing a warp generator that will revolutionize time-space jumps. But he's not going to let academics distract him from what's most important: playing football, racing hot rods, and chasing girls.

Handpicked by Coach Stauchel, Ike steps into the limelight as the starting quarterback for the Yosemite Pumas. With the weight of the team's aspirations on his shoulders, leading them to victory outweighs maintaining a low profile.

Scholarly pursuits may fail to interfere with gridiron glory, but unforeseen misadventures just might: a wrong turn into a postapocalyptic future, an ill-fated obsession with fighting in World War Two, and encounters with an array of vivacious vixens. Will the clairvoyant African prophetess in 1960 Sierra Leone capture his heart? What about the glamorous Hollywood hopeful in 1942, or the vampish proto-woke professor teaching his political science class at Yosemite Polytechnic?

Ike escaped his own dystopian destiny, but Fate is a vindictive mistress, hell-bent on dragging him back into her cruel clutches. Will she gain revenge with a blind-side cheap shot by a hulking defensive lineman, by using communist occupational forces to blow his antique fighter-bomber out of the sky, or by exposing Ike to pan-continuum assassins as a time-traveling fugitive from an alternate reality?

Paradox is more than an exhilarating tale of time-travel and triumph; it's a saga of a young man's extraordinary journey from the cusp of adulthood to the pinnacle of his potential. In Defying Fate, Ike blazes his own trail to manhood, and perhaps even greatness, against all odds. Join him on this epic adventure, where the boundaries of time, love, and destiny blur, coalescing into an odyssey that truly transcends the imaginable.
