Praise for this book

“Overall, this collection feels less intense than previous volumes, with more comedic undertones to balance the seriousness, and less darkness in general. With its ensemble cast of returning favorites and intriguing newcomers, it’s a welcome change of pace, a satisfying palate cleanser before the series begins its next big arc.” —Publishers Weekly

Praise for the Wild Cards series

“Perhaps the most original and provocative of the shared worlds books.” —Peter S. Beagle, author of The Last Unicorn
