Wild Cards: Aces High (Wild Cards, #2)

by George R.R. Martin

George R. R. Martin (Editor)

A world of Wild Cards! The alien virus arrived on Earth just after World War II and the world was never the same. For those who become infected, there are two results; death, or transformation. And depending on the recipient, death is sometimes the preferable outcome. Only a few lucky ones become super-human 'aces' as a side effect of the virus; the rest are turned into horrible, grotesque 'jokers'. It's a strange and wonderful, terrible and terrifying world where anything can go. A world that, in a twist of fate, could lie just outside your door.

Aces High is a club for the elite aces,that is to say the aces with the most extreme powers.

That's why I like this series every character has his/her own power.Some of these powers are pretty minor but some of them are are major.Like magic tricks vs. superman.No matter which character it focuses on it's a fun ride.
