Readers of Santiago and Mike Resnick's other exciting and evocative novels know that the galaxy's Inner Frontier is filled with some mighty dangerous characters, such as the Iceman, the Mouse, Merlin, the Yankee Clipper, the Mock Turtle, and more. But we'll bet you didn't know that the most dangerous person on the Frontier, perhaps the most dangerous human or alien who ever lived, is a frightened little six-year-old girl who wishes she was anyone else. Come meet her, and her one friend, and her multitude of enemies, in the pages of Soothsayer, the first book of the Oracle Trilogy - and experience an adventure similar in tone both to Santiago and to Josh Whedon's TV series Firefly (and its follow-up movie Serenity).

The sylph Nevan tempts her like no one else ever has, drawing out desires she'd kept buried deep inside herself. But Nevan is hiding a dark secret. As Lindsey is drawn deeper into a parallel world where magic reigns and bargains have deadly consequences, she realizes she might be the key to saving two worlds. But Lindsey must rely on Nevan and his elemental powers to stay alive. Or does she? A ragtag band of elementals might become her strongest allies. Because yeah, the apocalypse is coming.

Her name is Penelope Bailey, a young woman of normal appearance. Yet during her brief, turbulent life she has been known first as the Soothsayer, then the Oracle, and still later the Prophet.

It's the Gravedancer's job to terminate her. If he should fail - and he never has - then the Silicon Kid will try his best to end her extraordinary life. Also on her trail is the one who knows her best, the Iceman. And there is the Annointed One, a conqueror of unlimited power. Will she side with him or will she oppose him, and how do they choose which of them to support or attempt to kill? Welcome to the conclusion of Mike Resnick's classic Oracle Trilogy - and experience an adventure similar in tone both to Santiago and to Josh Whedon's TV series Firefly (and its follow-up movie Serenity).
