About this listen
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.

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

I found Luke Daniels vocal talents gave each character a voice of their own, male and female.
The new additional stories added a little extra to a great series of stories. Roll on getting the audiobooks for the other novels in the series.
(I can hope the next anthology series from my youth they audiobook would be the Thieves World Anthology. I can dream).
A Super Effort

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
I enjoyed listening to most of this book. My overall enjoyment was about 50% I'd say. Started off really quite well, but as the timeline is linear, all stories relate to a moment in time, usually same or after the previous story, the overall plot, which envelopes the whole idea tarts to wear thin and I wasn't really listening anymore.If you’ve listened to books by the authors before, how does this one compare?
So many authors, it's difficult to state and also, I imagine a lot would depend on the editor (None other than Mr Martin himself). Some stories I thought were excellent, others, left me cold. Can't please everyone all the time...Have you listened to any of Luke Daniels’s other performances? How does this one compare?
I thought he did an excellent job Charactersation was superb and you never really had to guess who was saying what. One of the best readers out there.Was Wild Cards I worth the listening time?
%0% worth listening to, the rest I felt were filler stories.Any additional comments?
Enjoyable, but like all short story anthologies, some good, some bad ones. It's all down to what you like.Reasoable anthology. Some good, some not so much.
