According to the description of Paradigm Shift – Return of the Angels, it “tells the story of Humanity’s explosive confrontation with alien life, both familiar and frightening.  The story unfolds while following one man’s attack on faith, and carries through to the incredible aftermath of his success.  The backdrop is painted with global catastrophe and radical sociological collapse, while the powerful themes and rapid pace serve to change our perspective long enough to re-examine what we know about ourselves.

Before joining the Iconoclasts Hank Foster couldn’t envision a life beyond his tragic past. His career as an elite Special Forces Operative was cut short with the loss of his leg. Anger and pain was all he owned. But now the Iconoclasts have brought his anger into focus. Now Hank’s anger will move mountains and destroy entire worlds.

Iconoclasts or ‘idol destroyers’ is the name loosely given to the clandestine organization dedicated to attacking religious institutions. Secretive and immensely powerful, the movement has laid plans to topple the one institution it holds responsible for the greater part of Man’s inhumanity… they have set out to destroy faith itself.

Hank Foster was targeted through his association with William Kemp, the shining example of a young Icon loyalist, and was recruited because of his talents as a Psychological Warrior and his comfort with covert operations. Initially reluctant and cynical, Hank’s attitude shifts and he finds the Iconoclast leadership moves too slow for his liking. He usurps the vast power of the Icon leadership and uses their influence to perpetrate an elaborate hoax. He hopes his hoax will be the catalyst for change, but he has no idea how far his deception will spread. With help from the Iconoclasts Hank stages a spectacular UFO sighting over San Francisco, and orchestrates the media frenzy which follows. Ultimately a single question moves lips around the world; what do we believe, and why?”
