      Decades after an alien virus changed the course of history, the surviving population of Manhattan still 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. Down in the seedy underbelly of Jokertown, residents are going missing. The authorities are unwilling to investigate, except for a fresh lieutenant looking to prove himself and a collection of unlikely jokers forced to take matters into their own hands-or tentacles. The deeper into the kidnapping case these misfits and miscreants get, the higher the stakes are raised. Edited by #1 New York Times bestselling author George R. R. Martin and acclaimed author Melinda M. Snodgrass, Lowball is the latest mosaic novel in the acclaimed Wild Cards universe, featuring original fiction by Carrie Vaughn, Ian Tregillis, David Anthony Durham, Melinda M. Snodgrass, Mary Anne Mohanraj, David D. Levine, Michael Cassutt, and Walter John Williams. Perfect for old fans and new readers alike, Lowball delves deeper into the world of aces, jokers, and the hard-boiled men and women of the Fort Freak police precinct in a pulpy, page-turning novel of superheroics and mystery

      Wild Cards - Lowball
    • Od doby, kdy Newton pozoroval bublinu, která stoupala z jeho vany, lidstvo objevuje hvězdy. Když král William III. pověřil kapitána Williama Kidda, aby na konci sedmnáctého století uskutečnil první expedici na Mars, ukázalo se, že vesmírné mise jsou proveditelné, ale i velmi výnosné. Nyní, o jedno století později, funguje na Marsu prosperující britská kolonie. Je domovem Arabelly Ashby, mladé ženy, která je v místních drsných podmínkách maximálně spokojená. Ale správná anglická dáma se chová jinak: netráví čas s otcem na stavbě složitých automatických strojů, ani nešmíruje svého bratra a marťanskou chůvu. A tohle chce její matka okamžitě napravit – plánuje ji přemístit do exotického světa, který Arabella nikdy neviděla: do Londýna v jakési Anglii. Nicméně když nečekané události ohrožují její domov na Marsu, Arabella se rozhodne, že udělat správnou věc je mnohem důležitější než chování podle šablony.
