Prophet

DEBUT People are being put into a trance-like state while holding a beloved object, after being injected with a mysterious substance called Prophet. Attempting to separate person and object leads to death, and these nostalgic objects are starting to manifest away from their holders. Former MI6 agent Sunil Rao and his handler Lieutenant Colonel Adam Rubenstein find that they are the only people whom Prophet doesn’t affect. When the nostalgic manifestations become hostile, only Rao and Rubenstein have what it takes to save the world, if only they can work through their own issues first. Unlike many sci-fi titles, the focus of the book revolves around the two main characters rather than on action sequences or futuristic technologies. This allows for plenty of mystery and drama as the story shifts between the present and the past, intertwining the two men and a substance that is making time essentially irrelevant.
