GEORGE R. R. MARTIN is the author of the acclaimed, internationally bestselling fantasy series A Song of Ice and Fire, which is the basis for HBO's popular Game of Thrones television series. Martin has won multiple science fiction awards, including four Hugos, two Nebulas, the Bram Stoker, the Locus Award, the World Fantasy Award, the Daedelus, the Balrog, and the Daikon (Japanese Hugo).
"Overall, this collection feels less intense than previous volumes,
with more comedic undertones to balance the seriousness, and less
darkness in general. With its ensemble cast of returning favorites
and intriguing newcomers, it's a welcome change of pace, a
satisfying palate cleanser before the series begins its next big
arc." --Publishers Weekly Praise for the Wild Cards series "Perhaps
the most original and provocative of the shared worlds books."
--Peter S. Beagle, author of The Last Unicorn
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 "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 on High Stakes "Emotionally
powerful. Wild Cards deals up the variety of short fiction without
losing the continuity of a novel."--The Seattle Times "A
delightfully imaginative speculation."--The Toronto Star 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
