Oracle

Bounty hunters race to find a powerful psychic in this classic science fiction adventure by the award-winning author of Soothsayer.

People across the galaxy have feared Penelope Bailey ever since she was a child. She has the power to see the future and manipulate events-and minds. Governments and criminals sought to control her, and hundreds of bounty hunters like the Iceman once tried to capture her. But Penelope eluded them all and disappeared . . .

Fourteen years later, the Iceman now runs a tavern. He spends most days listening to customers' tales of adventure and idle gossip, until one day, a visitor arrives with quite a story to tell. She is Penelope's mother and would like the Iceman to retrieve her daughter from the planet Hades. Of course, it is a task easier said than done. Soon an assassin, a secret agent, and an outlaw cyborg are searching for the missing psychic. And they must all figure out how to handle a target who can predict their every step . . .

Perfect for readers of Alan Dean Foster, Timothy Zahn, and Joe Haldeman
