'Fabulous . . . Present-day science fiction that feels like the
best sort of spy novel' NEIL GAIMAN YOUR HAPPIEST MEMORY IS THEIR
DEADLIEST WEAPON. This is Prophet. It knows when you were happiest.
It gives life to your fondest memories and uses them to destroy
you. But who has created it? And what do they want? An all-American
diner appears overnight in a remote British field. It's brightly
lit, warm and inviting but it has no power, no water, no connection
to the real world. It's like a memory made flesh - a nostalgic
flight of fancy. More and more objects materialise: toys,
fairground rides, pets and other treasured mementos of the past.
And the deaths quickly follow. Something is bringing these memories
to life, then stifling innocent people with their own joy. This is
a weapon like no other. But nobody knows who created it, or why.
Sunil Rao seems a surprising choice of investigator. Chaotic and
unpredictable, the former agent is the antithesis of his partner
Colonel Adam Rubenstein, the model of a military man. But Sunil has
the unique ability to distinguish truth from lies: in objects,
words and people, in the past and in real time. And Adam is the
only one who truly knows him, after a troubled past together. Now,
as they battle this strange new reality, they are drawn closer than
ever to defend what they both hold most dear. For Prophet can
weaponise the past. But only love will protect the future.
