It killed ninety percent of those it infected. Nine percent of those who survived mutated into tragically deformed creatures. And one percent gained superpowers. The <i>Wild Cards</i> shared-universe series, created and edited since 1987 by <i>New York Times</i> #1 bestseller George R. R. Martin along with Melinda Snodgrass, is the tale of the history of the world since then--and of the heroes among that one percent.</p><p>Originally begun in 1987, long before George R. R. Martin became a household name among fantasy readers ("The American Tolkien" --<i>Time </i>magazine), the <i>Wild Cards</i> series earned a reputation among connoisseurs for its smart reimagining of the superhero idea. Now, with <i>Inside Straight</i>, 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-original stories by Martin himself, along with Daniel Abraham, Michael Cassutt, and Stephen Leigh, among others.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"The shared-world series known as Wild Cards has had a long and illustrious history of contributors and achievements." --<i>SciFi.com</i><br><br>The shared-world series known as Wild Cards has had a long and illustrious history of contributors and achievements. <i>SciFi.com</i>"<br><br>"The shared-world series known as Wild Cards has had a long and illustrious history of contributors and achievements." --SciFi.com<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>George R.R.
