The Oracle Year
by Charles Soule
Ahoy there mateys! The cover kept making me look at this and I still wasn't sold as the blurb seemed a bit silly. I eventually gave in and I be glad I picked this up. The basic premise is that Will wakes up one morning with 108 prophecies in his noggin. He then sets up a scheme to make millions once he realizes these events come true. I have to admit that I didn't like Will or his best friend at first but the story grew on me. I needed to know why Will was given this information and how the world was gonna change because of it. Of course he has to save the world. I loved the Coach character. I loved how mundane some of the predictions were. The story does get a bit ridiculous but I had a very good time with it. Enough to have added the author's book, anyone, to me ports for plunder list. A very good popcorn sci-fi. Arrrr!
