Fans of Back to the Future—and the music of Boston and Queen—will love The Elvis Paradox.
What if the Day the Music Died took the wrong legend?
Boston's Tom Scholz—engineer, musician, and obsessive inventor—is working late in his basement with Marianne, a young MIT physics student, when the impossible happens.
A distortion in time sweeps across the world.
Protected inside Tom's experimental sound booth, they emerge to discover that history has been rewritten around them.
Elvis Presley is dead.
Buddy Holly is alive.
And Marianne has been erased from history.
Her parents never met. There is no record of her birth, no record of her life, and no one remembers she ever existed.
No one except Tom.
Their search for answers leads them to Queen guitarist and astrophysicist Brian May, who remembers a completely different history—one in which Elvis died alongside Ritchie Valens and J. P. Richardson in a frozen Iowa field in 1959, while Buddy Holly walked away from the flight that should have killed him.
But history didn't change by accident.
Someone reached into the past and rewrote the history of rock & roll.
To restore the world they remember—and the life Marianne has lost—Tom, Marianne, and Brian must unravel a mystery stretching across decades of music, science, and history. Their investigation leads them to Colonel Tom Parker, a forgotten wartime experiment, Hollywood legend Hedy Lamarr, and ultimately to the one place no one can reach:
The past.
But changing history once nearly destroyed their world.
Changing it again may be the only way to save it.
From the author of the Fractured Time series comes a time-travel thriller where Elvis Presley, Boston, Queen, science, and history collide—and the fate of rock & roll depends on answering one impossible question:
What if Elvis Presley wasn't supposed to die?
Genre: Science Fiction
