Superheroes and villains do battle over the human heart in this delightful anthology featuring all-new stories from a wide range of contributors, all set in the Wild Cards universe, where an alien virus mutates some and grants superpowers to others, created by the #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Game of Thrones. An alien virus ravages the world, its results as random as a hand of cards. Those infected either draw the black queen and die, draw an ace and receive superpowers, or draw the joker and are bizarrely mutated. Nevertheless, human nature reigns supreme. And one of the most enduring human drives is the search for love. Aces and jokers alike both want to find it, or have lost it . . . or perhaps just want to use it for personal gain. Crazy, unconventional, touching, strange, and oh-so-familiar, this is love, Wild Cards-style. Within these stories: - A jewel thief seduces a popular actor just so she can track down a long-lost treasure.- A teenager trapped in the body of a giant snail attempts to win his love la Cyrano de Bergerac.- A man discovers his purpose in life after meeting a beautiful butterfly woman.- A young hero who has been awarded the hideous name of Hero McHeroface finds some solace in the arms of an astrologer hiding her own unique powers. Pairing Up is the Wild Cards take on love--finding it, seeking it, losing it, or achieving it--as aces and jokers enter into the highest stake game of all: gambling on their heart's desire. Featuring stories from: Kevin Andrew Murphy - Christopher Rowe - Marko Kloos - Melinda M. Snodgrass - Bradley Denton - Walton Simons - Peter Newman - Gwenda Bond - David Anthony Durham - Edited by George R. R. Martin

A young ace must unmask a modern-day Robin Hood in this original graphic novel set in George R. R. Martin's shared-world universe, Wild Cards. An alien virus ravages the world, with effects as random as a hand of cards. Those infected either draw the black queen and die, draw an ace and receive superpowers, or draw the joker and become bizarrely mutated. Rosa Garza--an ace whose powers center around her family's loter a deck--has arrived in New York City to help her dying grandmother. But what should have been a quiet time of recovery is instead interrupted by a series of eccentric robberies perpetrated by a mysterious ace known only as Professor Daedalus, who has the power to create and animate impossible automatons. And these automatons are stealing from the rich to give to the poor and needy--in particular, to the underfunded clinic where Rosa's abuela is being treated. With police scrutiny falling hard on her, Rosa must discover Daedalus's identity and halt his crime spree before she herself is arrested--or becomes the automatons' next victim.

Two heroes revisit a traumatic incident from their past--and learn hard truths in the present--in this original graphic novel set in the Wild Cards universe, where an alien virus mutates some and grants superpowers to others, created by the #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Game of Thrones. In 1946, an alien virus ravaged the world, its results as random as a hand of cards. Those infected either draw the black queen and die, draw an ace and receive superpowers, or draw the joker and are bizarrely mutated. Over a year ago, the U.N.'s Committee for Extraordinary Interventions sent ace heroes Ana Cortez and Kate Brandt--Earth Witch and Curveball--to Brazil to investigate Aurora Mission, a charity that claimed to provide education and medical care for those affected by the Wild Card virus. But local ace and activist Gabriel Silva reported abuses. Ana and Kate helped him get to the truth, which turned out to be far more sinister than anyone expected. Ana and Kate thought that case was closed, but now a Brazilian official has questions. Did they do the right thing or overreach their authority? The case amply demonstrates that, even in a world of incredible powers, there will always be victims. Written by New York Times bestselling author Carrie Vaughn with art by Eisner-nominated creator Renae De Liz, this dynamic story gives readers a new look into the Wild Cards universe, and shows how even those with great powers have their limits.

A cop on the trail of a bizarre murder uncovers a hidden conspiracy--and shocking secrets about his late father--in this original graphic novel set in George R. R. Martin's shared-world universe, Wild Cards. In 1946, an alien virus ravaged the world, its results as random as a hand of cards. From that fateful moment to the present day, those infected either draw the black queen and die, draw an ace and receive superpowers, or draw the joker and are bizarrely mutated. Today, Aces, Jokers, and uninfected humans live in relative peace. Francis "Franny" Black is an uninfected human cop, trying to police a world filled with people with the extraordinary powers that he lacks. Newly--and some would say too suddenly--promoted to detective, he has been working out of Wild Card Central, the precinct in Jokertown where the bulk of the virus victims fell in 1946. Franny's father was one of the heroes of the precinct, killed in the line of duty, and Franny is finding it hard to fill his dead father's shoes. That is, until he's given a particularly insidious case and starts uncovering long-buried secrets that his father might have died to protect. Illustrated in a gorgeous, cinematic style by Michael Komarck and Elizabeth Leggett, this unique graphic novel is a visual feast certain to delight.

George R.R. Martin and the Fantasy Form

Joseph Young

Taylor Francis Ltd

Using the frameworks of literary theory relevant to modern fantasy, Dr. Joseph Young undertakes a compelling examination of George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire and his employment of the structural demands and thematic aptitudes of his chosen genre. Examining Martin’s approaches to his obligations and licenses as a fantasist, Young persuasively argues that the power of A Song of Ice and Fire derives not from Martin’s abandonment of genre convention, as is sometimes asserted, but from his ability to employ those conventions in ways that further, rather than constrain, his authorial program.Written in clear and accessible prose, George R. R. Martin and the Fantasy Form is a timely work which encourages a reassessment of Martin and his approach to his most famous novels. This is an important work for both students and critics of Martin’s work and argues for a reading of A Song of Ice and Fire as a wide-ranging example of what modern fantasy can accomplish when employed with an eye to its capabilities and purpose.

During a government career that spanned nearly the whole of the Cold War, George R. Lindsey gained a reputation as a leading defence scientist and military strategist for Canada’s Defence Research Board. His research and writing played a vital role in shaping Canadian policy in air defence, anti-submarine warfare, the militarization of space, and other areas of crucial concern in the nuclear age. The Selected Works of George R. Lindsey provides full access to a wealth of previously classified historical material regarding the scientific and technical aspects of Canadian defence and national security in the Cold War. Insightful and eye-opening, Lindsey’s writings shed light not only on one of Canada’s most influential civil servants of the Cold War era, but on the strategies, priorities, and inner workings of the Canadian defence establishment during an active and politically volatile period in world affairs.
