Publisher's Summary

From the award-winning author of Sentinels of Creation comes a near-future science-fiction series that promises to thrill fans of the Expanse, Bladerunner, and Ready Player One. Paradigm 2045: Trinity's Children serves up an adventurous bounty of first contact, genetic engineering, and artificial intelligence while providing a reverential nod to golden age masters such as Robert A. Heinlein and Larry Niven.

In 2004, Doctor Damien Howard's 131st birthday celebration took an unexpected turn. His personal SETI project detected an extraterrestrial signal directed at Earth.

Unfortunately, Dr. Howard's long-hoped-for communication contained a message of dire warning rather than greeting. In 1945, humanity had become a species of galactic interest and was given 100 years to address the issue.

Now in 2045, only months remain before humanity's grace period expires and the world mourns the passing of a titan. Damien Howard lies dead. Only his security officer, Misha Sokolov and artificially intelligent Agent Coleman are aware of Earth's impending deadline.

Meanwhile, in Nairobi, Kenya, Charlotte Omandi prepares to address luminaries gathered for her keynote presentation at the Omandi Institute. Her life changes forever when Damien Howard reaches out to her from beyond the grave. She is the first born of Howard’s Children, nine genetically enhanced humans who hold the key to Earth’s salvation.

Charlotte must assemble a crew capable of demonstrating both faster-than-light travel and the wisdom required to join a galactic community. As humanity's leaders become aware of the impending threat, massive forces attempt to impede Omandi and her nascent crew.

Despite Damien's gifts of wealth, technology, and genetic superiority, his children face daunting challenges as they race against an Armageddon clock set to strike on July 16, 2045. By that day, humanity will either shift its paradigm or perish.

Armada meets Star Trek.

Loved it. I purchased it as I was looking for some descent Sci Fi and ended up just seeing what Nick Podehl had done recently as he really brings books to life. The characters were believable and well developed. The interaction between Misha and James were particularly amusing.

The worst part about starting a series like this is waiting around for the next book to be written, thankfully the resolution at the end was sufficient to tie me over until it comes out.

Loved it, fun characters plus action

Nick is an awesome narrator, he brings all the feels to a full cast of characters. His delivery of Robert's words has me laughing out loud, and between the two of them they had me invested in the characters within the first few chapters. They action is beautifully written and plays out like an epic movie...bk2 is already in my library and I'm going back in

Fantastic science fiction!

This was my favourite book this year. I love Nick Podel (which is what got me onto this book) He has such amazing abilities as a narrated to bring alive so many different characters.

Robert W Ross has brought a simply wonderful world of science fiction. All the characters are well constructed and as he mentioned in the authors note, they ran away with themselves.

I am very sad I finished this and hope RWRoss writes quickly, because I cannot wait for the next book. I am going to read sentinels of creation now and hope it is half as good as this book.

Put this book on your MUST read or listen list.
