About this listen

 The action-packed alternate fantasy returns for a new generation, featuring fiction from #1 New York Times bestselling author George R. R. Martin, Michael Cassutt, Melinda M. Snodgrass, Lewis Shiner, and more―plus two completely new stories from Kevin Andrew Murphy and bestselling author Carrie Vaughn.

Forty years after the Wild Card Virus's release, the World Health Organization decides it's time to take a delegation of Aces, Jokers, politicians, and journalists on a fact-finding mission to learn how other countries are dealing with the virus that reshaped humanity. Leading the team is Gregg Hartmann, a senator with presidential aspirations and a dangerous ace up his sleeve. Joining him is a menagerie of some of the series' best and most popular Wild Cards, including Dr. Tachyon, aces Peregrine and Golden Boy, and jokers Chrysalis, Troll, and Father Squid.

From the jungles of Haiti and Peru to the tumultuous political climate of Egypt, from a monastery in Japan to the streets of the most glamorous cities of Europe, the Wild Cards are in for an eye-opening trip. While some are worshiped as actual gods, those possessing the most extreme mutations are treated with a contempt that's all too familiar to the delegates from Jokertown. New alliances will be formed, new enemies will be made, and some actions will fulfill centuries-old prophecies that make ripples throughout the future of the Wild Cards universe.

I loved these books from the moment I read the first one. Had difficulty finding this one in the shops so was happy when I found it available through Audible. I had never listened to an audio book before (unless you count the He-Man and Transformers, books on tape I listened to in my childhood! Lol). I was concerned that listening to the stories as opposed to reading them would be monotonous and I would lose focus as the stories went on. I could not have been more wrong, between the superb writing and excellent voice talent, I was hooked from beginning to end. Can’t wait to download my next one.

Great Edition to the series.

They made some strange choices with who reads what, meaning you get some wonderfully terrible accents and it becomes easy to lose which character you're following.

Strange choices.
