PROPHET

Jake Fairbrother, Ryan Forde Iosco, and Charlotte Davey share narrator duties. Rao, a former MI6 agent with an uncanny ability to know whether a person is telling the truth, and Adam, an American intelligence officer, are investigating a drug that materializes people's fondest memories--although it causes a psychic break with sometimes fatal consequences. Fairbrother takes the chapters focused on Rao, an addict whose main pastime is finding pleasure. Iosco narrates the chapters focused on straitlaced Adam, who is determined to keep Rao safe. As the story revolves around the two contrasting characters, Fairbrother and Iosco give nuanced performances. Charlotte Davey narrates the few chapters focused on the woman who is heading the investigation. J.E.M. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPTEMBER 2023]
