"This is a wild ride of good, blood-pumping fun that packs a surprisingly emotional punch for a book that looks on the surface like just another superhero adventure." --Publishers Weekly Praise for the Wild Cards series --: Delicious...Everything I hoped for in a new Wild Cards book. The character interactions and plot twists have exactly the complexity, surprise, and unsentimental realism I'd expect out of a George R. R. Martin project. --Austin Grossman, author of Soon I Will be Invincible on Inside Straight Martin has assembled an impressive array of writers. . . . Progressing through the decades, Wild Cards keeps its momentum to the end. --Locus The shared-world series known as Wild Cards has had a long and illustrious history of contributors and achievements. --SciFi.com New readers and fans of the long-running series will both love the fast-paced plotting and the ever-expanding history of the Wild Card virus on this alternate Earth, where even the superheroes are human. --Shelf Awareness on Lowball Highly recommended. --SFRevu on Lowball
