Book Description
An arson investigator uncovers a conspiracy with world-shattering consequences in the explosive first book of a classic trilogy set in the Wild Cards universe created by the #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Game of Thrones. Now featuring a stunning new cover and an all-new short story! An alien virus ravages the world, with effects as random as a hand of cards. Those infected either draw the black queen and die, draw an ace and receive superpowers, or draw the joker and are bizarrely mutated. The uninfected are known as nats. When a fire destroys a Jokertown church, killing and injuring hundreds of jokers, nat arson investigator Hannah Davis suspects foul play. Following leads throughout Jokertown, she stumbles on the Card Sharks conspiracy: a decades-spanning plot to eradicate the Wild Card virus—and everyone affected by it. But Hannah's findings alone won't be enough to expose the Sharks; it's her word against powerful and well-connected government figures, who don't much care about a threat that affects only jokers. She'll need to trace the Sharks' conspiracy all the way back to humanity's first exposure to the virus, learning from those whose lives were forever altered by the Card Sharks. And she'll need to do it quickly, before the Sharks' plans come to fruition—and bring about the end of all wild carders forever. Book One of the Card Shark Triad CARD SHARKS • MARKED CARDS • SHOWDOWN

Book Description
Edited by bestselling author George R. R. Martin, in the next Wild Cards adventure we follow John Fortune, son of two of the most powerful and popular Aces the world has ever seen. In Death Draws Five, John Fortune's card has finally turned. He's an Ace! And proud of it . . . except that his new powers put him on a collision course with enemies he never knew he had. Is he the new messiah? Or the Anti-Christ? Or is he just a kid who's in over his head and about to drown? It's really quite simple. Mr. Nobody wants to do his job. The Midnight Angel wants to serve her Lord. Billy Ray, dying from boredom, wants some action. John Nighthawk wants to uncover the awful secret behind his mysterious power. Fortunato wants to rescue his son from the clutches of a cryptic Vatican office. John Fortune just wants to catch Siegfried and Ralph's famous Vegas review. The problem is that all roads, whether they start in Turin, Italy, Las Vegas, Hokkaido, Japan, Jokertown, Snake Hill, the Short Cut, or Yazoo City, Mississippi, lead to Leo Barnett's Peaceable Kingdom, where the difference between the Apocalypse and Peace on Earth is as thin as a razor's edge and where Death himself awaits the final, terrible turn of the card.
