Penelope Bailey has been called many things—psychic, fugitive, weapon. Now she’s the Prophet, no longer hiding from the galaxy’s power players who’ve spent decades trying to kill or control her.
The Iceman, an assassin turned bar owner, has survived crossing her path twice. That makes him a rare man, and a marked one. With enemies closing in, he teams up with the lethal Gravedancer to untangle a conspiracy that stretches from back-alley deals to interstellar politics.
On a distant planet, Penelope waits. She knows what’s coming. She’s seen it.
In this fast-paced classic of space opera, five-time Hugo Award winner Mike Resnick weaves assassins, psychics, and political intrigue into a final showdown where survival isn’t a question of skill, but destiny.
