Beagle, author of <i>The Last Unicorn</i> <p/>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. --Austin Grossman, author of <i>Soon I Will be Invincible</i> on<i> Inside Straight</i> <p/>"This is a wild ride of good, blood-pumping fun that packs a surprisingly emotional punch for a book that looks on the surface like just another superhero adventure." -- <i>Publishers Weekly</i> on <i>High Stakes</i> <p/>"Emotionally powerful. Wild Cards deals up the variety of short fiction without losing the continuity of a novel."--<i>The Seattle Times</i> <p/>"A delightfully imaginative speculation."--<i>The Toronto Star</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>GEORGE R.
