"Once again, and amazingly enough, Charles Wachter manages to meet us where we are in the uncertain, ever-shifting moment." -Wesley Morris, Critic at Large, The New York Times

"Science. Twists. Big Ideas. The Twin Paradox has it all."-A.G. Riddle, bestselling author of The Atlantis Gene.

"It's a rollercoaster of fun."-Charles Duhigg, bestselling author of The Power of Habit and Smarter Faster Better


With ten years passing for every three minutes on a remote stretch of Texas coast, planes fall out of the sky, evolved species are on the hunt, and people die inside one of the most vicious ecosystems ever grown-all a result of the government's efforts to slow down time.

A lot can happen in ten years. That's the point. Governments are always racing for supremacy, for scientific breakthroughs, for technological advantages-and these things take time.

Until something goes wrong.

With the grounded yet massive world building of READY PLAYER ONE, thrilling scientific questions of JURASSIC PARK, and the time-bending teen drama of BEFORE I FALL, Wachter's THE TWIN PARADOX is a brilliantly plotted tale that is both intimate and massive, relentless yet deliberate, and explores the themes of self-acceptance, self- confidence, and natural selection in a richly hued and unforgettable world. Ultimately the eternal question of Nature versus Nurture is boiled down into this fast-paced thriller told over the course of five days and culminates in one single question:

Do we get to choose who we are?
