Not your typical Resnick book. Some interesting characters and storylines, but the main character, the Oracle, was a poorly constructed 2 dimensional character that I really tired of after a couple of pages.

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.
