This volume in the Wild Cards shared-world saga is an expanded edition of the first in the series, containing all the stories and pseudodocuments of the alternate time line launched when the Wild Card virus hit during WWII that were in the 1987 original edition. Some of the stories have been expanded, and to them are added a batch of new stories that, by and large, fit well with the old. Among the best of the oldies are Walter Jon Williams Witness and Melinda Snodgrass Degradation Rites. Carrie Vaughn has done the new Ghost Girl Takes Manhattan, and David Levine, Powers. Old faithfuls among Wild Cards fans may really revel, but even newbies should enjoy this solid volume of intelligent entertainment. --Roland Green
Delicious. Everything Id hoped for in a new Wild cards book. The character interactions and plot twists have exactly the complexity, surprise, and unsentimental realism Id expect out of a George R. R. Martin project. Austin Grossman, author of S_oon I Will Be Invincible_, on Inside Straight
