From bestselling comic-book franchise writer Charles Soule comes a
clever and witty first novel of a twentysomething New Yorker who
wakes up one morning with the power to predict the future-perfect
for fans of Joe Hill and Brad Meltzer, or books like This Book Is
Full of Spiders and Welcome to Night Vale. Knowledge is power. So
when an unassuming Manhattan bassist named Will Dando awakens from
a dream one morning with 108 predictions about the future in his
head, he rapidly finds himself the most powerful man in the world.
Protecting his anonymity by calling himself the Oracle, he sets up
a heavily guarded Web site with the help of his friend Hamza to
selectively announce his revelations. In no time, global
corporations are offering him millions for exclusive access, eager
to profit from his prophecies. He's also making a lot of
high-powered enemies, from the President of the United States and a
nationally prominent televangelist to a warlord with a nuclear
missile and an assassin grandmother. Legions of cyber spies are
unleashed to hack the Site-as it's come to be called-and the best
manhunters money can buy are deployed not only to unmask the Oracle
but to take him out of the game entirely. With only a handful of
people he can trust-including a beautiful journalist-it's all Will
can do to simply survive, elude exposure, and protect those he
loves long enough to use his knowledge to save the world.
Delivering fast-paced adventure on a global scale as well as
sharp-witted satire on our concepts of power and faith, Marvel
writer Charles Soule's audacious debut novel takes readers on a
rollicking ride where it's impossible to predict what will happen
next.
