Es una jornada de fuegos artificiales, desfiles y mítines políticos, y este año promete ser la más espectacular de todas. Pero en las sombras acecha un genio siniestro al que no le importa la fiesta. Al Astrónomo sólo le preocupa una cosa, la destrucción. Nueva York está a punto de presenciar el choque entre dos superfuerzas.

I'm ... not thrilled with it. In the previous case, if you didn't like a particularly story, it wasn't long before you moved on to something completely different. Here, it just keeps coming back again and again. Particularly when Jokers Wild primarily deals with Fortunato/Astronomer and the Egyptian Masons, which I've mentioned before wasn't my favorite plotline. Really, there wasn't much that I cared overmuch about in this book. Seeing Bagabond's dealings with the animal and human worlds was interesting enough. Wraith remains a ridiculous character (a cat burglar who can phase through walls--but only when nearly naked), but her story was fairly interesting. And Hiram Worchester has a lot of potential. So there's something going for it. Still. I'm hoping for more in [b:Aces Abroad|984792|Aces Abroad (Wild Cards, #4)|George R.R.

It flows nicely from one chapter to another, which incidentally are hours of the day, since this is set over a 24 hour period. I wasn't sure i was going to continue with the rest of the series after reading the first two books, but this has me wanting to read on now. Very enjoyable. A raíz de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, el virus alienígena Wild Card devasta la Tierra. Los sobrevivientes se convirtieron en metahumanos: Jokers, seres con deformidades físicas y habilidades inusuales, siempre marginados y acosados, o Ases, hombres y mujeres de apariencia humana normal que desarrollan el don de volar, leer las mentes de los demás y la capacidad de caminar a través de las paredes, cambiar de forma a voluntad, volverse invisible e incluso detener el tiempo.

"The journey into high adventure soars on! Let the secret history of the world be told--of the alien virus that struck Earth after World War II, and of the handful of survivors who found they now possessed superhuman powers. Some were called Aces, endowed with powerful mental and physical prowess. The others were Jokers, tormented by bizarre mind or body disfigurements. Some served humanity. Others wreaked terror. Now, forty years later, under the streets of Manhattan an evil genius unleashes the powers of darkness--and Aces and Jokers alike must fight for their lives. Here, in the third volume of the Wild Cards series, seven of science fiction's most gifted writers take you on a journey of wonder and excitement.Includes stories by:Edward Bryant, Leanne C.
