In the aftermath of WWII, an alien virus struck the Earth, endowing a handful of survivors with extraordinary powers. Originally published in 1987, the newly expanded saga contains additional original stories by eminent writers.

Good adaptation of the original stories, well read and well paced - the narrator captures the "feel" of the stories very well.

Hope more of the series are to follow (already purchased the 2nd)

A very good choice of stories. I listened to it in my car driving to work, and enjoyed it very much.

Wasn't sure what to expect from the compilation of short stories, but it worked really well. I look forward to the rest of the series.

Very well written, although I didn't detect much difference in writing style between the authors, with the exception of Dr Hunter S Thompson's contribution. It didn't matter though, building up into a very complete picture of an alternative history from a multitude of standpoints, as it affected a large cast of characters.

Excellent narration would have been improved enormously by gaps between scenes and chapters, and if Audibles allowed the naming of chapters in its interface.

One minor irritation but otherwise excellent

Would you listen to Wild Cards I again? Why?

Absolutely, like a good movie you wtch twice or three times, a complex saga such as this deserves more than one listen. Characters and story lines intermingling with one anther can become a bit confusing, but this is what i enjoyed about it. Sometimes you just have to go back give it another listen which is fine because you always pick up plots and twists you didn't hear the first time.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Wild Cards I?

I enjoyed Jetboys story, and i liked the fact that despite his abilities he was still mortal and had his limits.

What three words best describe Luke Daniels’s voice?

deep, american,

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I listened this story while i worked, and often found myself listening and not working. it kept me hooked from start to finish. A couple of laughs, a bit of irritation at the politicians interfering in the four aces story line.

Any additional comments?

If you are a fan of nightwatchmen you should enjoy this story.

Wild cards a good, gritty story
