'''''The Trinity Paradox''''' is a [[time travel]] novel by [[Kevin J. Anderson]] and [[Doug Beason]], exploring the premise of an anti-nuclear activist from 1990s being transported back in time to the [[Manhattan Project]], giving her the potential to sabotage the project in an attempt to prevent the development of nuclear weapons altogether.

Her attempt to do so, however, has far-reaching and unpredictable results, changing the outcome of the [[Second World War]] and the face of the post-war world.

==Reception==
Donald Erbschloe in his review for ''[[Physics Today]]'' said that "the setting and the people of [[Los Alamos, New Mexico|Los Alamos]] come alive", "the cast is impressive" and "the climax is thrilling and, as one might suspect, explosive".<ref name="Erbschloe">{{cite journal|doi=10.1063/1.2809668|last=Erbschloe|first=Donald R.|date=May 1992|title=Books|journal=Physics Today|volume= 45|issue= 5|pages=64–66|issn=0031-9228|bibcode = 1992PhT....45e..64. }}</ref>
[[James P. Hogan (writer)|James P. Hogan]] noted that it "soberingly shows the perils of the sheep solemnly pledging themselves to vegetarianism while the wolves remain unconverted".<ref>[http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/a/kevin-j-anderson/trinity-paradox.htm ''The Trinity Paradox'' at Fantastic Fiction]</ref>
