Your happiest memory is their deadliest weapon — the must-read sci-fi thriller of summer 2024.

A mysterious event
An all-American diner appears overnight in a remote British field. More and more objects materialise — toys, fairground rides, pets, and other treasured mementos of the past.

A weapon like no other
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.

A fight for the future
Sunil Rao and Adam Rubenstein are tasked with investigating this strange new reality. After a troubled past together, they are drawn closer than ever to defend what they both hold most dear...
