(W) George R. R. Martin
by George R. R. Martin & Melinda Snodgrass
In 1946, an alien virus that rewrites human DNA was accidentally unleashed in the skies over New York City. It killed ninety-percent of those it infected, while nine-percent of those who survived mutated into tragically deformed creatures... and one percent gained superpowers! Originally begun in 1986, George R. R. Martin's
Wild Cards series earned a reputation among connoisseurs for its smart re-imagining of the superhero idea. Now, with
Inside Straight, the
Wild Cards continuity jumps forward to a new generation of major characters, entirely accessible to Martin's hundreds of thousands of new readers, with all-new, original stories by Martin himself, along with Daniel Abraham, Michael Cassutt, and Stephen Leigh, among others.
