The ocean speaks. But who will listen?
The coral is dying. The oceans are hotting up. And while a world sleepwalks toward catastrophe a voice inside Daniel's head warns of tsunamis. But whose voice?
On an overheating island in the Caribbean, Daniel, a marine biologist still grieving his father, hear whispers from the coral reef that shimmers just beyond the shore. Is he losing his mind? But the messages grow clearer, more urgent... and more terrifying. After a 500 million year silence, could it be that the coral, the oldest member of the animal kingdom, is reaching out to Daniel?
Reefs all over the world are bleaching, collapsing. Sea life is disappearing. Climate change is changing the way humans live. And something ancient is awakening beneath the waves.
Haunted by his father's death and caught between the materialism of tourists and the spiritual warning signs in the natural world, Daniel finds an unlikely ally in Professor Abraham Jewson, an irascible scientist with secrets of his own. Together with Joubert, a Dominican bar owner whose ancestors have always listened to the sea, they uncover a mystery that stretches from Haitian voodoo to corporate sabotage, from chemical run-off to a mythic convergence of science and prophecy.
Truth comes at a cost. Political interests awaken when a tsunami wipes out the Gunatanom Bay detention centre. Who knew the truth? Daniel must decide what kind of prophet he is willing to become. Will he risk everything to speak for the ocean-and be heard?
A visceral eco-thriller with heart and teeth, The Coral Prophet blends spiritual unease, environmental urgency, and innocence in the tradition of Richard Powers, Delia Owens, and Paulo Coelho.
Set against a vivid Caribbean backdrop of sun-bleached beaches, crumbling infrastructure, and shadowy corporate greed, this novel captures a world on the brink.

"The sea has a voice in this novel, and it will haunt you long after you turn the final page."
