" This original seres is more fun than humans can imagine! "
" Another fantastic book in this series. It didn't feel as episodic as the first book; the storyline sticks very close to the main antagonism. A great read for fans of neuvo pulp scifi. "
" I still prefer the first book slightly only. This is the 2nd in the series and it makes me want to grab the 3rd book which unfortunately is not available for loaning in my country "
" A welcome follow-on to the first Wild Cards anthology, with an overarching plot to tie the various short stories together. Enough to have me check-out the next book in the series, and see what follows. "
" Loved this book. Especially Jube the Walrus. Needed more of Croyd the Sleeper. Still great! "
" A mosaic novel featuring some strong interesting stories and some weaker ones. "
" Not as good as the first one "
" What the hell was THAT all about?? How incredibly confusing.........and yet I LOVE his Game of Thrones........unbelievable....! "
" Not as good as I remember the first volume to have been. "
" This is a fun series overall, and somehow I missed this one. Each arc is written by a different author, which is a treat. "
" The second book improves upon the first with better stories that are closer, as well as the political agenda that has evolved from the wild card virus. Looking forward to the third book. "

He spent ten years in Hollywood as a writer-producer, working on The Twilight Zone, Beauty and the Beast, and various feature films and television pilots that were never made. In the mid ’90s he returned to prose, his first love, and began work on his epic fantasy series, A Song of Ice and Fire. He has been in the Seven Kingdoms ever since. Whenever he’s allowed to leave, he returns to Santa Fe, New Mexico, where he lives with the lovely Parris, a big white dog called Mischa, and two cats named Augustus and Caligula, who think they run the place.
