The return of the famous shared-world superhero books created and edited by George R. R. Martin, author of A GAME OF THRONES
In 1946, an alien virus that rewrites human DNA was accidentally unleashed in the skies over New York City. It killed 90% of those it infected. Nine percent survived, mutated into tragically deformed creatures. And one percent gained superpowers. The Wild Cards shared-universe series, created and edited by bestseller George R. R. Martin (called ''the American Tolkien'' by TIME), is the tale of the history of the world since then - and of the heroes among the one percent.
Now, in the latest Wild Cards mosaic novel, we get to know the hard-bitten world of Manhattan''s Fifth Precinct - or ''Fort Freak'' - as cops and malefactors alike call the cop-shop where every other desk sergeant, detective, and patrol officer is more than human.
Featuring original work by writers such as Cherie Priest, author of the bestselling BONESHAKER
