Paradigms Lost

In a world of data manipulation and cyberspying, an investigative journalist find that the supernatural lurks!  A major revision of Spoor's first novel, *Digital Knight, *with all new material.

Being an expert in information searches, image processing and enhancement, pattern matching, and data forensics earned Jason Wood a lot of money – from private contracts and working with the police. And it was a nice, comfortable job most of the time. But then an informant showed up dead on his doorstep, a photograph didn't show someone who'd been in the viewfinder when the picture was taken, and Jason's world is suddenly turned upside-down.

 

Against things that violate the very reality he thought he understood, Jason has only three weapons: his best friend Sylvie, his talent for seeing patterns… and his ability to think *beyond* the pattern and see a solution that no one else imagined. Against the darkness of the unknown, the greatest weapon is the light of reason.

 

A vastly expanded and revised edition of *Digital Knight*, Ryk E. Spoor's first published novel, *Paradigms Lost* adds two brand new adventures for Jason and includes many chapters of additional material within the originals.
