Wild Cards XI: Dealer's Choice

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Dealer's Choice is an electrifying climax to the Rox Triad within the acclaimed Wild Cards series, masterminded by the prodigious editing talents of George R. R. Martin and Melinda M. Snodgrass. This instalment thrusts readers into a volatile New York City, standing at the brink of chaos as a super-powered gang threatens to topple the existing order. The stakes have never been higher, and as the action intensifies, so does the drama, making for an unputdownable read.

The Nats, desperate to reclaim control amid the mounting pandemonium, launch an unprecedented military assault on Ellis Island, the stronghold of Bloat and his legion of genetic outcasts. Those following the series will relish the complex interplay of strategic manoeuvres and unexpected alliances as friends become foes, and loyalty is tested in this cataclysmic confrontation. The mission is unambiguous: obliterate the island and leave no survivors, culminating in what promises to be one of the most explosive finales the series has experienced.

As the narrative unfolds, readers witness pivotal moments of character evolution — the indomitable Turtle faces a moment of resignation, Modular Man grapples with a crisis of faith resulting in a dramatic shift in allegiance, Reflector confronts his downfall, and the enigmatic Legion meets her demise. All the while, assassins close in on Bloat's chamber, setting the stage for a grand showdown.

This entry in the Wild Cards universe is brought to life by a distinguished ensemble of authors, including Edward W. Bryant, Stephen Leigh, John Jos. Miller, George R. R. Martin, and Walter Jon Williams, each bringing their unique voice and flair to the multifaceted tapestry of this series. Together, they've crafted a narrative that fuses apocalyptic action with deep character insights, delivering a story that is as thought-provoking as it is thrilling.
