Wildcards 1 - George R.R. Martin
Shared by:Tecumseh123
Written by George R.R. Martin
Format: MP3
From Wikipedia:
The series relates an alternate history of the earth after World War II. In 1946 an alien virus that rewrites human DNA is accidentally unleashed in the skies over New York City. It kills 90% of those who come into contact with it (referred to as ‘drawing the Black Queen’). However, 9% mutate into deformed creatures (known as ‘Jokers’) and the remaining 1% gain superpowers (known as ‘Aces’). A percentage of the Aces are referred to as ‘Deuces’. Deuces have acquired useless or ridiculous powers, such as the ability to levitate up to two feet, or to grow body hair at will. The airborne virus eventually spreads all over the world, affecting tens of thousands.
The Wild Cards universe is distinguished from most superhero comic book fiction by several thematic elements. Early on the authors decided to pursue a more realistic, or naturalistic approach to storytelling. Few of the Ace characters in Wild Cards have secret identities, or are traditional crime-fighting superheroes in the mold of Spider-Man or Batman. Wild Cards remained set within a recognizably real world with recognizably real people and pop culture and, because of the historical setting of many of the stories, had characters who aged realistically during the course of the series. The majority of Wild Card victims live in the run-down ghetto of Jokertown, while the fortunate Aces become glamorous celebrities. In addition, Wild Cards took a more graphic approach to violence, and particularly to sex, than most superhero stories do.

IF YOU CAME TO THIS AUDIOBOOK B SEARCHING FOR AN AUTHOR OF NOTE, SUCH AS I DID FOR GEORGE R.R. MARTIN, THEN YOU WILL BE SEVERELY DISAPPOINTED.
NONE OF THE AUTHORS LISTED ARE ACTUALLY IN THIS SERIES, AS MENTIONED IN THE PROLOGUE.

LOL @McLevy
Yes, this book wasn’t written by anyone! Be outraged! USE ALL CAPS!
SPOILERS!!
(this book was ‘edited’ by Martin and ‘written’ by dozens of ‘authors’. Except, all the ‘authors’ are made up, as it says in the beginning! Get it??? LOL)

A fabulous series, amazing group of authors. I think George RR wrote the “Turtle” chapters. “written by a collection of more than forty authors referred to as the Wild Cards Trust and edited by George R. R. Martin and co-edited by Melinda M. Snodgrass.”..Wikipedia
