Wild Cards: Aces High Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

More exciting adventures from the longest-running shared world superhero series created and edited by George R.

R. Martin, bestselling author of A GAME OF THRONES30 years after the world changed, the victims of the gene-altering 'Wild Cards' virus face a new nightmare. The place is New York City, home of Aces High - the glamourous lounge for superheroes, high atop the Empire State Building - and Jokertown, the squalid residence of the city's deformed underclass.

The victims of the Wild Card Virus are no longer new and strange, but neither are they accepted by a world that still fears them.

But as a new decade dawns, all eyes are drawn to the skies, and the Wild Cards may be the planet's only hope. From the far reaches of space comes The Swarm, a deadly menace that could very well destroy the planet.

Aces and Jokers must form an uneasy alliance and prepare for a battle they must not lose. Edited by George R. R. Martin, this volume features stories by Roger Zelazny, Walter Jon Williams, Pat Cadigan, Lewis Shiner, John J.
