Showing results for "The Prophet" in Dystopian

I am the one of the end, the world maker, and the god breaker. Time is unraveling and Earth is doomed to wander the dark of space, unmoored from the galaxy itself. Galiaro’s plan for humanity’s escape to another dimension has failed and his dark matter robot creations, Beetro and Curse, were imprisoned in a nanoscopic black hole. Now, the entire planet is blighted by drought, the oceans heave beyond their bounds, and thousands are dispossessed. The end of the cosmos was foreseen by an ancient Alchean prophet named Othel.

On a dark, wet evening in Dublin, scientist and mother of four Eilish Stack answers her front door to find the GNSB on her step. Two officers from Ireland’s newly formed secret police are here to interrogate her husband, a trade unionist. Ireland is falling apart.

This is the first book in the Lemniscate Legacy series – a future history, political thriller, love story, spiritual quest, speculative saga, and philosophical treatise.

What if you could paint with reality? Elijah Brighton can bring a girl back from the dead, travel outside his body, and absorb a lifetime of memories from anyone he touches in the fugue state. Everyone seems to think he's the prophet they're waiting for...including the girl he's falling in love with. The truth is, the fugue is bleeding over into reality, bringing his sketches to life and haunting him with visions of a girl in metal armor. She stabs him with her blade and denounces him as any prophet worth the name - and it's not like he disagrees.

Una noche oscura y lluviosa, Eilish Stack abre la puerta de su casa de Dublín y se encuentra a dos agentes de la policía secreta.

Sam fa la guardia carceraria. Non per scelta ma quasi per caso, dopo aver fallito l’addestramento militare. Vive giornate tutte uguali, con una vena violenta che cerca di tenere sotto controllo e una depressione non diagnosticata. Ma un’occasione inaspettata lo conduce a Clearwell, una struttura di quarantena nel nord degli Stati Uniti. È stata costruita di recente, per ospitare gli individui di cui tutti parlano di continuo alla radio, in tv, sui social: i cosiddetti profeti.
