Wild Cards: Jokers Wild (paperback)

The streets of New York have erupted in celebration of Wild Card Day - the annual event held every September 15th to remember the dead and cherish the living. With each passing year, the festivities become larger and more fevered. And this year, the fortieth anniversary of the event which changed the world promises to be the biggest and best Wild Card Day ever.

The media and tourists have discovered the celebration, and taverns and restaurants expect record-setting business. But lurking in the background is a twisted genius who cares nothing for fun and festivity. The Astronomer has another concern: destruction and bloody vengeance on the Aces who disrupted his evil schemes.

Edited by George R. R. Martin, this volume features stories by Lewis Shiner, John J. Miller, Melinda Snodgrass, George R. R. Martin himself and more!
