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

Great narration and a great variety of stories

if you like superheroes but tired of the same old format this is a very new and fun spin on old school superpowers

they are all good but if there are any you don't like you are into the next one before you know it !!

Amazing and Fresh

Listening to this great little anthology I have read in my early 20's. I am glad at last these books are finally being audiobooked.

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

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)

Loved these as a series
