This exhilarating 23rd collaborative novel in the WILD CARDS series … is a wild ride of good, blood-pumping fun that packs a surprisingly emotional punch for a book that looks on the surface like just another superhero adventure - Publishers Weekly
The shared-world series known as WILD CARDS has had a long and illustrious history of contributors and achievements - SciFi.comEminently readable, and stands alone well, this has laugh out loud moments, pathos and action aplenty to please even the most discerning of readers [LOWBALL review] - British Fantasy SocietyLowball for me is a winner through and through, I have been counting down the days until there would be another full length book released and I devoured it in one sitting. The characters are memorable and the setting of the story is continuing to give a certain uniqueness. Even though the series has been going on for twenty-two books so far, there is never a dull moment to be found … I just cannot get enough of the Wild Cards universe. High quality and should be on everyones reading list … Bring on the next please! - The Book PlankAbout The Author
