Deuces Down by George R.R. Martin & Melinda M. Snodgrass

Description: Edited by Melinda M. Snodgrass.

The first fifteen volumes of the Wild Cards series concerned themselves primarily with aces (those given superhuman powers by the Wild Cards virus) and jokers (those whom the virus transformed into freaks and monsters). But in this all-new collection of Wild Cards stories, Deuces Down will focus on some characters less often in the spotlight: the deuces. In Wild Card slang, a deuce is an ace whose superpower is tiny, trivial, sometimes silly.

As with the other books in the series, Deuces Down is set in an alternate, shared-world universe. It's here that you'll find the never-before-told tales of the exciting 1969 World Series between the Baltimore Orioles and the Brooklyn Dodgers; the first moon landing, when the whole world wasn't watching; the Great New York City Blackout of 1977; and Grace Kelly's mysterious disappearance during the filming of The French Lieutenant's Woman.

Also in this series are Inside Straight, Wild Cards, Aces High, Joker's Wild, Aces Abroad, Down & Dirty, Ace in the Hole, Dead Man's Hand, One-Eyed Jacks, Jokertown Shuffle, Double Solitaire, Dealer's Choice, Turn of the Cards, Card Sharks, Marked Cards, Black Trump Return to the George R.R.
