The Paradise Lie by Paul Emil is an intriguing fantasy about life, death and the unknown. Gerald Franklin is a passenger on a planet that crashed in a thunderstorm. He manages to escape the wreckage and finds himself adrift in the ocean as the sole survivor. He loses consciousness and the next thing he knows he awakens naked on a beach of an island. The story then takes a twist and it is difficult to tell where reality ends and fantasy begins. Is Gerald really in Nirvana on Paradise Island or has he been kidnapped by aliens? Is the whole story a fantasy and a figment of his imagination while he is in a coma? The author leaves the reader with many questions.
