Prophets (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781738478842)

What do you do when the world is faced with nuclear destruction and you're the only one who can stop it?

When you love someone but being with them means losing everything else, would you take the plunge?

When all you've dreamt of in life is within your grasp would you reach out? Even if it meant doing something evil?

These are the questions posed in Prophets. The answers will take you on an adventure of wonder and discovery, of love and loss, across continents and through time.

The novel intertwines four tales in four countries: Ezekiel, a low-level drug dealer from England, tasked with saving the world; Parvati, a Dalit from India who marries a high-caste Kshatriya and starts to read people's thoughts whenever they touch her; Abu, an albino former street-child from Nigeria who hears Allah speaking to him when he prays telling him to create an Islamic caliphate; and Eve, the Secretary of State for the United States government hellbent on gaining power and status.

Prophets is an ingenious and imaginative work of speculative fiction which pushes boundaries, questions the contemporary world and shines a new light on the past.
