The Whistler is one of the deadliest killers on the Galaxy's Inner Frontier. He wants her. The Injun is a death dealer without peer. He wants her.

The Iceman has dealt with her before. He doesn't want any part of her, but he may have no choice.

The Jade Queen thought she wanted her, before she found out what she was. Now she's not so sure.

And who is she? She's Penelope Bailey, still in her late teens, and still the deadliest being, human or alien, who ever lived.

Come follow her strange and exciting story in the pages of Oracle, the second 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).
