Deuces Down: A Wild Cards Novel : 16

Resumen del libro

Deuces Down is the next Wild Cards anthology collection about George R. R. Martin's alternate superhero history

An anthology about the Wild Cards who are underestimated, overlooked: the Deuces.

But it's the quiet ones you have to watch out for.

In this revised collection of classic Wild Cards stories, the spotlight is on the most unusual Wild Cards of them all-the Deuces, people with minor superpowers. But their impact on the world should not be underestimated, as we see how they've affected the course of Wild Cards' alternate history. This collection also features exclusive art to accompany these stories.

In Deuces Down, iconic celebrities and landmark events are seen in a whole new light, such as John Jos.

Miller's exciting 1969 World Series between the Baltimore Orioles and the Brooklyn Dodgers; Michael Cassutt's first moon landing, when the world wasn't watching; Walter Simons' Great New York City Blackout of 1977; and Melinda M. Snodgrass's account of Grace Kelly's mysterious disappearance during the filming of The French Lieutenant's Woman.

Edited by George R. R.
