Nadie sabe qué es Prophet, pero su poder es evidente: conoce tus secretos más profundos y da vida a tus recuerdos más Ãntimos. Esta misteriosa y cambiante sustancia ha sido creada por una organización internacional para controlar a la población: una sola inyección induce un trance mortal del que ya no se puede salir. La memoria personal es ahora un arma mortÃfera. Adam y Rao, dos exagentes especiales, se lanzan a la caza de Prophet en un viaje que los llevará del secretismo de laboratorios militares a adentrarse en la América más opulenta, en el desolador desierto de Nevada y, finalmente, en sus propios recuerdos, donde reside la clave para ponerle freno. Una emocionante exploración del poder de la nostalgia, la identidad y el amor que trasciende todos los géneros. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION From the extraordinary minds of award-winning and New York Times-bestselling author of H Is for Hawk, Helen Macdonald and first-time author Sin Blaché, Prophet is their electric debut, a tantalizing adventure fusing noir, sci-fi and a slow burn queer romance―set in a universe just one perilous step from our own. Adam Rubenstein and Sunil Rao have been reluctant partners since their Uzbekistan days. Adam is a seemingly unflappable American Intelligence officer and Rao is an ex-MI6 agent, an addict and rudderless pleasure hound, with the uncanny ability to discern the truth of things―about everyone and everything other than Adam. When an American diner turns up in a foggy field in the UK after a mysterious death, Adam and Rao are called in to investigate, setting into motion the most dangerous and otherworldly mission of their lives. In a surreal, action-packed quest that takes Adam and Rao from secret laboratories in Colorado, to a luxury lodge in Aspen, to the remote Nevada desert, the pair begins to uncover how and why people's fondest memories are being weaponized against them by a spooky, ever-shifting substance called Prophet. As the unlikely twosome battles this strange new reality, Prophet's victims' memories are materializing in increasingly bizarre forms: favorite games, beloved pets, fairground rides, each more malevolent than the next. Prophet is like no enemy Adam and Rao - or the world - have ever come up against. A tension-shot odd-couple romance, an unflinching send-up of corporate corruption, and a genre-bending tour de force, Prophet is a triumph of storytelling by a new writing duo with a thrilling future.
