A deadly virus returns.
Only three Sanctuary cities remain.
Doctor Mercy Perching must unravel their secrets to survival one terrifying city at a time.


Doctor Mercy Perching, the head virologist in the Sanctuary of Europe, has stolen the only hope for a cure from the Sanctuary of Americas: a human-avian hybrid. Now she must unravel the creatures genetic secret in time to stop the virus, end the war and save the hybrids who helped her escape. But nothing is going as planned.


When Mercy finds herself in the Sanctuary of Asia, she discovers they have been running some rather unusual experiments of their own to win the war against FossilFlu. Now her life is in danger and she must save herself before she can save the world.


Oasis One is the second book in the Children of the Miracle series which follows Doctor Mercy Perching's as she unwittingly finds herself at the heart of humanities explorations of evolution and its conflicting and sometimes deadly consequences.

Kirkus Reviews
Weisbeck's wonderfully detailed sequel tackles SF staples readers know by heart, including Sindy's questioning what it means to be human. But the characters and relationships are remarkable, especially Mercy and Basil; his feelings run deeper, as she's in love with someone else. The Prime is another standout character: This formidable villain is frighteningly omnipotent. The prose is evocative, particularly when describing the environment: Fiddleheads of lady fern unrolled, spongy toadstools mushroomed into blue gilled umbrellas, and odorous prickly pine needles and buttercup wildflowers filled the air with an otherworldly aura. The author smartly concentrates on only a few characters in this short installment and leaves plenty of avenues to explore in the next volume. A sharp, illuminating dystopian tale.
