Soon to be a TV show on Hulu!
Back in print after a decade, expanded with new original material, this is the first volume of George R. R. Martin's Wild cards shared-world series
There is a secret history of the world—a history in which an alien virus struck the Earth in the aftermath of World War II, endowing a handful of survivors with extraordinary powers. Some were called Aces—those with superhuman mental and physical abilities. Others were termed Jokers—cursed with bizarre mental or physical disabilities. Some turned their talents to the service of humanity. Others used their powers for evil. Wild Cards is their story.
Originally published in 1987, Wild Cards I includes powerful tales by Roger Zelazny, Walter Jon Williams, Howard Waldrop, Lewis Shiner, and George R. R. Martin himself. And this new, expanded edition contains further original tales set at the beginning of the Wild Cards universe, by eminent new writers like Hugo–winner David Levine, noted screenwriter and novelist Michael Cassutt, and New York Times bestseller Carrie Vaughn.
Now in development for TV!
Rights to develop Wild Cards for TV have been acquired by Universal Cable Productions, the team that brought you The Magicians and Mr. Robot, with the co-editor of Wild Cards, Melinda Snodgrass as executive producer.

Store description
La Librería Prometeo nace en un modesto local de la ciudad de Málaga, en 1969, con una vocación de fomento de la cultura. Prometeo es ese héroe de la mitología griega que pretende construir un mundo a la medida del hombre. En 1975 aparece la Librería Proteo. El nombre hace referencia a un dios marino, también de la mitología griega, caracterizado por sus capacidades adaptativas. El paso del tiempo nos obliga a transformarnos en una empresa cada vez más eficiente pero sin menoscabo de su vocación germinal de servicio a la cultura, en un contexto laboral digno y en una práctica de un comercio serio y equitativo. En todo ello seguimos, después de 43 años de existencia. Nuestro pensamiento sigue puesto en un buen trabajo, en una actividad de fomento de la cultura y en una presencia perdurable en la ciudad. En el año 2004 llevamos a cabo la rehabilitación de la casa donde radica Librería Proteo siguiendo criterios ecológicos. En esa actuación se descubrió la Torre del siglo XIII de la antigua Puerta de Buenaventura y se integró en la fachada del edificio y en el interior de la librería.…
