Origin of Paradise

Paradeisia Trilogy #1

by B.C. Chase

A baby vanishes from the womb without a trace. A fossil upends two centuries of scientific theory. A prehistoric virus kills thousands within days. And a resort of epic proportions prepares to open while the world's superpowers secretly watch.
Employing meticulous research into science and antiquity, author B.C.CHASE launches his controversial tour de force, the Paradeisia Trilogy, with a bombshell debut that will have readers clawing from page one through to the final breathtaking chapter.

What if Darwin got it wrong?
What if the physical world is a facade?
What if we have a sixth sense that science cannot yet explain?
Don't miss the epic trilogy that fearlessly explores the furthest reaches of what's possible. If you are afraid of ideas that challenge your worldview, this book is not for you. Chase holds nothing sacred as he takes a journey into the unknown.

This book is part of a trilogy and should not be read apart from the other books in the series.

[Terynce · Rating 2 out of 5]

That was disappointing. Even when a book is an intentional part of a series, it should be able to stand on its own. You should get a full, compelling story that leaves the reader wanting to continue to view the lives of the characters. It should not leave off, more or less, in the middle of a sentence or conversation like a tape that ran out of space. If the book cannot stand on its own, it shouldn't be a separate part of the series -- simply write one, longer book.

As such, I've no intention of continuing this series. It feels like a cheap way to get readers engaged and it completely misfired.

[Kathleen · Rating 1 out of 5]

This book was terribly edited, the author going into lengthy and unnecessary explanations of concepts which, if the reader was unclear easily be looked up. But inserted into the narrative, these expositors break the flow. The romantic parts, description of females is ham handed and juvenile. And there are simple repetition of words, typos and grammatical errors which completely aggravated me. And all this is unfortunate because the premise was interesting.

[Michele Benchouk · Rating 2 out of 5]

I agree with others that this trilogy should have simply been one book. Each individual book in a trilogy needs to be able to stand on its own, and this set just doesn't allow for that. Having said that, it is clear that the author put a great deal of thought into the complete effort, and the decision to break it into three pieces may not have been in his hands.

As I read, I was very intrigued with the topics coming into play: killer viruses, living dinosaurs, medical abductions, DNA, ancient Egyptians, submarine adventures in Antarctica, alien inhabitation -- lots of heavy hitting topics for the science fiction fan. But, now on the second book, I'm not sure where we are going with all of that. It was like throwing in the kitchen sink, but not knowing how, or even if, those topics will play into the final result.

[Denise · Rating 2 out of 5]

What begins as a compelling sci-fi story rapidly progresses to complete idiocy. What virus is spreading like fire through Baltimore? Why won't the president meet with his chief advisors? What's going on in the fantastically amazing new mega resort called Paradeisia? Ultimately, I don't care. Any one of these plots might have resulted in a good book. Combine the mishmash plot with cardboard characters, and what do you get? Nonsense. I could see this as a movie that would appeal to pubescent males, and perhaps that is the writer's goal. But no adult would find this interesting enough to go on to the next installment. Baaaaad book.

[Richard Simms · Rating 2 out of 5]

Were I to rate this book simply on the plot, it would score far higher. It is beyond intriguing and unfolds at a fairly decent pace. That said, I have major issues with this book, which is why I'm giving it (just barely) two stars. First, this isn't so much a trilogy as a single book broken into three different parts. Compare it, for example, to the original V.C. Andrews Flowers In The Attic trilogy, where each book stood on its own as a complete story. This book arbitrarily ends on a cliffhanger, and in order to get a complete story, you have to purchase the other two books. Which means you are paying over $20 for the complete story. Beyond that is the quality of the writer. While the author clearly knows his stuff when it comes to science, he is in desperate need of a writer. Sentence structure is not his friend, and there are typos galore. As a self-published author who works hard, in conjunction with an editor, to make my books the best they can possibly be, I have become increasingly, wildly frustrated with books such as this which simply do not live up to the implied contract between an author and a reader; a contract which promises not only to tell a good story, but to do so in conjunction with an editor who will make sure that the reader is getting their money's worth as opposed to something which feels haphazardly slapped together. While the story raised questions that I'd love to have answered, I have absolutely no intention of throwing good money after bad in order to find out how the tale ends.

[Sarah · Rating 2 out of 5]

Well, the story line is interesting, even though it's a little. . . cluttered. I kind of still want to read the second one, even though the editing was horrendous and the scientific language was a bit much at times. At one point a completely different story popped up in the middle of a chapter. There were actual editing notes in another part. I read the Kindle edition, so I'm not sure if that makes a difference.
Some parts of the story or characters were not very well flushed out. I feel like it escalated much faster than it should've. Almost like the author was running out of space and had to hurry up.
Overall, the story was compelling and creative. I just wish more time had been taken to get it just right.

Paradeisia: Origin of Paradise by B.C. Chase Paradeisia: Origin of Paradise by B.C. Chase is a conglomeration of ideas, shaken--not stirred. It reaches Antartica, China, and the United States. It has a virulent prehistoric virus that kills thousands. In addition, palentology is getting a wake-up call. I gave it almost four stars.I received a complimentary copy in an Amazon promotion. That did not change my opinion for this review.Link to purchase: https://www.amazon.com/Paradeisia-Ori...

[Denisia Cimpean · Rating 4 out of 5]

I couldn't put the book down. The idea of heading towards the future depicted in the book makes you wonder where is civilization and technology headed. I don't think it should be 3 books, but one - the first and second books have no real ending.

[DEBRA H. GRIFFIN · Rating 5 out of 5]

AMAZING

I really couldn't put it down and I have just started the second. What a wonderful series. Truly a must read

[Tai · Rating 1 out of 5]

My original review on the Kindle for this book was positive. I liked the first two books. The third book in the trilogy was so bad that I felt I should review this first book to warn others away. The first two have some weaknesses, mainly editorial (spelling, grammar and consistency). The third book is horrible. It is poorly written, inconsistent, weak character development and major logical flaws (not from the science perspective - it is, after all SciFi - but from the basic storytelling perspective).

Sorry B.C., I'll still give your next books a read, but please put more effort into the logical consistency of your future stories.

[Bea · Rating 2 out of 5]

So much potential left untapped; the story lines were all over the place, the character development was weak, too many POVS, and a pitiful lack of copy editing and proofreading. Also, the formatting was wonky.

Warning! The story ends at 60%. The rest of the 'book' is filler - notes, excerpts, etc.
Warning #2! The damn book ends on a cliffhanger and not a single story line is resolved or wrapped up. It literally ends mid-story.

[andrea sparano · Rating 5 out of 5]

Completely enthralled

Wow. The author kept me completely enthralled with book one and I can't wait to start number two. Although moving between characters and places quickly, I had no problem following his story.

[Kureiko · Rating 1 out of 5]

I'll be honest, I didn't finish this book. The premise was interesting, but it started losing me at a woman with a "nice baby bump" at 14 weeks and a first pregnancy and completely lost me when it basically called atheists idiots. No thanks.

[Michael · Rating 2 out of 5]

I do not think this is a stand alone book but just the first third of a book. I have read the other two "books" and I am almost finished reading the last book. I will make another comment on the last book section when I finish. *PET PEEVE-> A LOT OF TYPOS!

[Dian Beatty · Rating 2 out of 5]

I cannot adequately describe the plot because I have no idea what was going on. There are five or six different plot lines that the author jumps to, seemingly at random. Each plot-line seems to take place at different points in time, some of them jumping around in time within their own plot-line. Some of the plots are interesting and well written, but most are superficial, poorly written tropes. I tried a sample of book two, hoping to find something to keep me interested, but was disappointed (unsurprisingly). There are no main characters, just a bunch of mostly uninteresting secondary characters. I could not make myself care enough about the plots or characters to continue, certainly not for two more books.

[David Attwood · Rating 3 out of 5]

Paradesia

The series was interesting and captivating. I got a bit tired of all the "Perils of Pauline" escapes and the long descriptions of dinosaurs and other life threatening characters. I enjoyed the scientific explanations that may or may not have true; the book is a work of fiction, after all.

[Deborah · Rating 4 out of 5]

Much better than I expected

I downloaded this awhile ago thinking that it seemed mildly interesting, then got distracted by other things and forgot about it. The book has something of a Cloud Atlas feel. The writing style isn't great, but the varied intertwined plots and characters become almost mesmerizing. Looking forward to the next book!

[Bob Rivera · Rating 2 out of 5]

The book meanders and goes all over the place. Not sure I'm going to read the second book in the series. The story never really came together with all the multiple threads. They don't seem to tie together. I'm sure he must do that in the 2nd (or third book), but the multiple threads should at least point to a similar destination. I'm not sure this one does that.

[henry c brown · Rating 2 out of 5]

Didn't hold together

This book jumps around too much! The characters are interesting, however, there is little plot and it was difficult for me to put it all together. I cannot recommend this novel!

[Jacque Cullers · Rating 4 out of 5]

There is so much going on in this book and it is pretty fascinating - Biobots, dinosaur DNA, ancient viruses, disappearing babies, Jurassic Park, the "Land of the Lost", mummies, etc. I look forward to reading the next book in the series to see how they are all connected.

[Julie Bolte · Rating 5 out of 5]

Total page turner

- Lots of grammatical errors
-Suspenseful
-Fun!
-Don't take too seriously!
-Will keep you up past your bedtime!
-Sci-fi nerds only!

This book is a hot mess... yet I couldn't put it down until the (not much of an) ending.
It was like watching the first 30 minutes of an adventure movie- where the plot resolution??

Interesting mix of sci-fi, tech, etc.

[Nancy Cherne Kays · Rating 4 out of 5]

First book in series was very good

[Debbie · Rating 1 out of 5]

Ridiculous waste of time!! First off as many have said this is not a trilogy, but one book broken into three pieces. The only reason I can see for that is greed. Why sell one book when you can triple your income with three? Problem being when the first is terrible, who will come back for more? The author is great at starting a story line and giving you just enough to pique your interest, but then loses that momentum by quickly starting another completely unrelated line, again and again and again until the reader is dizzy with characters, undeveloped, plot lines going who knows where, and locations all over the globe. Will they EVER come together? Other authors bounce around a bit before bringing things together, but in the end things fit and it makes sense. In this case it's almost as if he had so much material --from his purported years of research-- that he couldn't let any passing thought be left out. Finding it hard to believe the positive reviews it received and annoyed with Amazon for using it for the ad whenever I open my Kindle! There are so many good books to read out there, don't waste your time with this one!!
