A fast-paced techno-thriller, with a high body count, zippy dialogue and an intriguing central mystery.

The Observer (UK)
A trippy, philosophical science-fiction novel with the pacing of a thriller and the pulse of a romance.

Eileen Gonzalez,
Foreword Reviews
Striking in its originality and its capacity to instill unease, even terror. It evolves over time, with the consequences of its use growing ever more disturbing and incomprehensible.

The Sunday Times (UK)
The relentlessness of Rao and Rubenstein’s banter slows things down after a pacey, intriguing start.

Library Journal
A low-key sci-fi mystery that blends the genres into a fusion of something new. With a hard-to-pin-down genre, the novel will appeal to a wide variety of readers..

Donna Seaman,
Booklist
Shrewdly imagined, sharply crafted, witty, chilling, psychologically lush, grotesque, and romantic..

Kate Simpson,
The Telegraph (UK)
The authors hit all the expected sci-fi notes – an ill-fated experiment expanding into a quantum field of love and loss – but resist the containment of a single genre. Prophet is a page-turner in which object-oriented philosophy sits comfortably alongside military acronyms – and with a handful of familiar horror tropes to boot..

Sinuous and transfixing.

Kirkus
Intriguing and deftly plotted (if overstuffed).
