Excerpt from The Prophet of Berkeley Square
Cromwell Road, upon a small tulip-wood table near the telescope, patted a sofa cushion affectionately on the head, glanced around with the meditative eye of the butler born not made, and quitted the comfortable apartment with a salaried, but soft, footstep.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book follows the life of Hennessey Vivian, a prophet who resides in London's Berkeley Square. Drawn to the heavens through a shared love of astronomy with Sir Tiglath Butt, he learns to read the stars and foretell the future. Along the way, he seeks guidance from Malkiel the Second, another prophet whose wife has sworn him off associating with others of his kind. Malkiel brings extensive knowledge to the table, but his refusal to interact with other prophets leaves him acknowledging that he only knows part of the picture. Together, they work through their prophecies, revealing a thrilling look at the then-current state of prophecy. Despite their successes, Malkiel remains skeptical, though both men continue to practice the art of prophecy.
