The deaths quickly follow. A devastating weapon – Prophet – is bringing these memories to life, then stifling innocent people with their own joy. But nobody knows who created it, or why.

Praise for this book

"It's a fabulous book! ... It's present day science fiction that feels like the best sort of spy novel with real people you can care about. And it's a page-turner." - Neil Gaiman

"Prophet promises to bring back everything you lost and now yearn for... Proper science fiction - self-aware, funny, ruthlessly propulsive, full of invention... I loved it." - M John Harrison

"Prophet is a wildly fun, inventive, funny, and terrifying book, with a superb mystery that gets ever more compelling and weird and, horrifyingly, familiar. This book finds the nightmare in the comforting lies we tell ourselves about our pasts, and how they inform our present." - Phil Klay

"A hyperkinetic headrush of a novel that proves its organic bona fides by getting you drunk with ideas before casually and cataclysmically breaking your heart." - Paraic O'Donnell

"Bold, brilliant. Prophet is hypnotically enthralling, frightening, fearless, funny and full of heart. I loved it." - Chris Whitaker

"Prophet is a crackling, shape-shifting romp with big ideas and a bigger heart. Blache and Macdonald take a no-holds-barred approach to manifesting the ways in which individual desires are exploited by the systems we live under, and ask the necessary question of whether escape from that cycle is possible. This is a display of sheer inventiveness, and a delight." - C Pam Zhang
