Prophet

By Mike Resnick

Book Overview

Since Penelope Bailey was a little girl, all humanity has been frightened by her awesome psychic talent, and worried that she can bend events--and men--to her will. Many have called her a monster, but she has chosen a different name for herself: Prophet. Twice, Penelope has managed to escape the "Iceman", a hired assassin, but he's been sent after her again, with higher stakes. This time, the Prophet has hidden herself in plain sight on a planet so obscure most don't know its name, and what's most surprising of all is that she wants to be found.

Best series ever!

Me and many of my friends and family have read and re-read this entire series many times and never tire of mike resicks universe where little penelope comes slowly into the most powerful being in the entire universe. The Ice Man is truly one of best characters he has created.

A grand finale to the Soothsayer trilogy

Penelope Bailey, known as The Soothsayer and The Oracle, has finally come into full command of her powers. While a religious fanatic proceeds with his methodical conquest of the galaxy, Penelope begins working on her own grand Plan. Her old nemesis, the Iceman, reluctantly leaves his home to track her down, and stop her before she can realize her designs. Peopled with great characters like The Gravedancer, The Silicon Kid, and many others, this book makes a great and satisfying conclusion to the Soothsayer/Oracle/Prophet trilogy.
