Por primera vez en occidente, la novela de ciencia ficción del mayor fenómeno de masas en Japón. Paradox 13 explora la reacción de un grupo de personas que, en Tokio, se hallan al límite como consecuencia de un fenomeno desconocido causado por un agujero negro. Debido al influjo sobre la Tierra de un agujero negro, el 13 de marzo, a las 13 horas, 13 minutos y 13 segundos se producira un fenomeno denominado P-13. Las medidas del gobierno para afrontarlo se estudian en el mas absoluto secreto.

Fuyuki Kuga, detective de la Jefatura de Policia de Tokio, y su hermano mayor, Seiya, inspector de policia adscrito a la misma Jefatura, se ocupan en esos momentos de un asunto de atraco a mano armada, pero, debido a un error de Fuyuki, Seiya resulta herido de bala por un miembro del grupo criminal al que persiguen. Por su parte, Fuyuki recibe tambien un balazo de los delincuentes y se desmaya. Cuando recobra el conocimiento, constata que no queda nadie en las calles de Tokio. Deambulando por la ciudad, sin comprender que esta pasando, encontrara a otras diez personas que han sufrido el mismo fenomeno. Entre ellas se halla tambien, inexplicablemente, su hermano Seiya, quien en buena logica deberia estar muerto.
