"Mindblowing. As a lover of both dystopian and time travel stories I've got to say, Prophet of Doom really brings something new to both genres." ★★★★★

"There are so many great twists. The author's take on an apocalyptic future and how it's achieved is wild. Really gripping and gut-wrenching, a true page-turner." ★★★★★

☢☣☠☣☠☣☠☢☣
A GENETIC EXPERIMENT. AN APOCALYPTIC VISION. A RACE AGAINST TIME.

You'd think time-travel would be a useful gift, for cheating on tests and winning the lottery--stuff like that. I might have enjoyed my ability...if I hadn't discovered humanity is on the brink of a genetically-engineered apocalypse.

Bodies rotting in the streets.
Wilderness eating away at my hometown.
Monstrous creatures hunting down the few survivors.

No one can save the world... except me.

Because for me, it hasn't even happened yet.For me, it might never happen.

All I need to do is kill the man who will destroy the world.
The father of my high-school crush.

The only problem is, the more time I spend in that dystopian wasteland, the less I want to erase it. To save the future, I'll need to sacrifice the one person I can't bear to lose.

Prophet of Doom is a young adult science fiction adventure and fantasy romance for fans of the Maze Runner and Divergent. Let yourself be captured by this zombie-infested time travel adventure based on Greek mythology.

"A Netflix series-worthy tale that doesn't let up - this crazy ride is full of twists and turns while remaining understandable and relatable. I can't wait for book two!" ★★★★★

"Smart, thorough and entertaining. The storyline driven characters draw you in and you don't want it to end." ★★★★★

***Part one of this book was published earlier, it's been revised to include part two and is now a complete novel. Previously titled PRESCIENT.***

Great Oracle story

I'm not going to say too much about the story other than to say I was pretty much totally captivated by the characters and the action. I can't find a book 2 yet but would like to read when it becomes available.

Good story

Nice work, I found this quite entertaining - I like the concept and the characters evolved nicely. The settings were realistic and everything moved along well so that I never got bored.
I have now finished the whole book (as a complimentary copy from the author) and while things are getting a little weirder I have still found things to be entertaining and will certainly want to read book 2 to see what happens next.

Interesting idea, but needs more development

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 December 2017

This book is much better than Shearwater, less of an academic explanation of myth and legend and more about the story. The novel essentially plays on the public's fear of genetic mutation, whether that is spread from genetically modified crops to humans, or the manipulation of DNA in order to eradicate disease.

Unfortunately like Shearwater I don’t see much depth to the characters. Alicia is the protagonist and although she is undoubtedly brave in taking on the mods her relationships are superficial. Her crush seems to extend from Brett to Jake with no reason as to what qualities she admires in either of them. Brett’s decision to leave his current girlfriend is understandable as she is being mean, but why he chooses Alicia is totally unknown. Is it just because she has suggested his father may be corrupt? Her relationship with her best friend Crys appears to be based on boyfriends and make up and while this is perfectly acceptable for teenagers, there should be more to their friendship than this. Arguably she is the person she confides in when she starts having the dreams and she is there to help hr solve them, but I don’t see what the basis of their friendship rests on. Perhaps she supported her when her mum died? A little bit of backstory would help the reader.

In the future her relationship with Tracy and Jake is very superficial. There is more chemistry between her and Jake and perhaps a greater bond borne out of fighting together for a common cause, but we know very little about him and how the relationship has developed in the past. The reader does not see Tracy being convinced in the past, or learn the moment when things changed for him.

For me this is a good premise, but the details need fleshing out of how the reader gets from A to B. There are too many unanswered questions and gaps in the narrative. The ending is interesting, if a bit sudden and leads on well to the next book in the series.

Wow!! Spoiler alert!

Long awaited part 2. It was breathtaking all the way through. I was rooting for the main character and hoping she would change the future, then disappointed when she didn't. Disappointed that it took her so long to figure things out. Frustrating!! Brilliant! I need more!!

PJ Bookish

Exciting plot.

Great dystopian tale, Alicia is a very believable character and the plot is exciting, with tension and uncertainty about exactly what she is getting into. The creatures are well described, especially the danger they present. Enjoyable and I'm looking forward to Part Two!

A good story with a different take on time travel. I enjoyed it. A good female lead and a satisfying ending.

One of the best dystopian time travel stories I have read in a long while. Fast paced, interesting and pretty creepy - looking forward to Part Two!
