<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"In Joker Moon, the next Wild Cards adventure from series editor George R. R. Martin, we follow Aarti, the Moon Maid, who can astrally project herself onto the surface of the moon and paint projections across the lunarscape. Theodorus was a dreamer. As a child, he dreamt of airplanes, rockets, and outer space. When the wild card virus touched him and transformed him into a monstrous snail centaur weighing several tons, his boyhood dreams seemed out of reach, but a Witherspoon is not so easily defeated. Years and decades passed, and Theodorus grew to maturity and came into his fortune . . . but still his dream endured. But now when he looked upward into the night sky, he saw more than just the moon . . . he saw a joker homeland, a refuge where the outcast children of the wild card could make a place of their own, safe from hate and harm. An impossible dream, some said. Others, alarmed by the prospect, brought all their power to bear to oppose him. Theodorus persisted . . . . . . never dreaming that the Moon was already inhabited. And the Moon Maid did not want company"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>In <i>Joker Moon</i>, the next Wild Cards adventure from series editor George R. R.

Beagle</i>, author of <i>The Last Unicorn</i><br></b><br>Delicious...Everything I hoped for in a new Wild Cards book. The character interactions and plot twists have exactly the complexity, surprise, and unsentimental realism I'd expect out of a George R. R. Martin project. --<b><i>Austin Grossman</i>, author of <i>Soon I Will be Invincible</i> on <i>Inside Straight</i></b> <p/>"Emotionally powerful. Wild Cards deals up the variety of short fiction without losing the continuity of a novel."--<b><i>The Seattle Times</i></b> <p/>"A delightfully imaginative speculation."<b>--<i>The Toronto Star</i></b> <p/>Martin has assembled an impressive array of writers. . . . Progressing through the decades, Wild Cards keeps its momentum to the end. <b>--<i>Locus</i></b> <p/>The shared-world series known as Wild Cards has had a long and illustrious history of contributors and achievements. <b>--SciFi.com</b> <p/>"Upbeat....Every chapter is solidly entertaining. It's a treat for any fan of superhero stories." <b>--<i>Publishers Weekly</i> on <i>Low Chicago</i></b> <p/>"A genre-hopping, time-jumping, crowd-pleasing chain novel under the curation of old master Martin, he of Game of Thrones fame." <b>--<i>Kirkus Review </i>on <i>Low Chicago </i> </b> <p/>New readers and fans of the long-running series will both love the fast-paced plotting and the ever-expanding history of the Wild Card virus on this alternate Earth, where even the superheroes are human. <b>--<i>Shelf Awareness</i> on<i> Lowball</i></b></p><br>
