As Julian's popularity grows, he becomes embroiled in a web of political intrigue and personal conflicts. He is pursued by a journalist named Hector Brunton, who is determined to uncover the truth behind his claims. Meanwhile, Julian's relationship with a wealthy socialite named Lady Sellingworth becomes increasingly complicated, as she struggles to reconcile her feelings for him with her own doubts about his message.

The novel explores themes of faith, love, and the search for meaning in a rapidly changing world. It is a thought-provoking and engaging work of fiction that offers a unique perspective on the human condition.The great telescope of the Prophet was carefully adjusted upon its lofty, brass-bound stand in the bow window of Number One Thousand Berkeley Square. It pointed towards the remarkably bright stars which twinkled in the December sky over frosty London, those guardian stars which always seemed to the Prophet to watch with peculiar solicitude over the most respectable neighbourhood in which he resided.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
