[Wild Cards 30] • Full House

A new Anthology collection of Wild Cards stories. In the aftermath of World War II, an alien virus struck Earth, endowing a handful of survivors with extraordinary powers. People with admirable abilities were called aces. Others became physically mutated and were labeled as jokers. Every generation, the virus creates new aces and jokers. Every generation, there are those who use their powers in the service of humanity or for the purpose of evil. Wild Cards is their story.
