HOLY BALLS OF FIRE IN THE SKY!
THE END OF THE WORLD BEGINS WITH A FREEWAY ACCIDENT . . . Deep inside the Vatican, in the secret and well-secured Archive, an archbishop with unholy methods and associates invokes ancient Norse gods in order to overturn the world order and wreak havoc with the balance of Nature. It's all in a day's work for Lisa Emmer, the Pythia, the modern-day manifestation of the Oracle of Delphi. And as soon as she puts a stop to this Destroy the World thing, she'll get on with the pressing business of preparing the young boy she has selected as her successor. Felix, the Miraculous Child she rescued in an earlier adventure, is a charming blend of the wisdom and compassion of the Dalai Lama and the brilliance of Young Sheldon - with the power of prophecy. And he has a technological leg up on earlier Oracles: a wearable search engine. But the tools of the forces of Evil have evolved also: drones, toxic chemicals, highly volatile explosives, radiation . . . Even as the world sinks into chaos, Lisa and her Delphic companions can only eliminate the threat by first identifying it from twelfth-century runes carved on a scrap of bone. Swigart's genre-bending Pythia has never been more fascinating: a thoroughly modern woman with one foot in the ancient world and one foot solidly rooted in a future no one else can see, with the exception of her young protégé. The Rune Harmonic is the unexpected answer to the wishes of ancient and medieval history lovers, readers of women's adventure fiction, ponderers of the fate of humankind, and all those hungry for a peek into the future.
