Now in development for TV!

An alien virus has changed the course of history, and the surviving population of Manhattan struggles to understand the new world left in its wake. Natural humans share the rough city with those given extraordinary―and sometimes terrifying―traits. While most manage to coexist in an uneasy peace, not everyone is willing to adapt.

Rights to develop Wild Cards for TV have been acquired by Universal Cable Productions, the team that brought you The Magicians and Mr. Robot, with the co-editor of Wild Cards, Melinda Snodgrass as executive producer.

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

“Delicious…Everything I hoped for in a new Wild Cards book. The character interactions and plot twists have exactly the complexity, surprise, and unsentimental realism I’d expect out of a George R. R. Martin project.”
—Austin Grossman, author of Soon I Will be Invincible

“Emotionally powerful. Wild Cards deals up the variety of short fiction without losing the continuity of a novel.”
—The Seattle Times
