R. Martin, Michael Cassutt, Melinda M. Snodgrass, Lewis Shiner, and more―plus two completely new stories from Kevin Andrew Murphy and bestselling author Carrie Vaughn. Forty years after the Wild Card Virus's release, the World Health Organization decides it's time to take a delegation of Aces, Jokers, politicians, and journalists on a fact-finding mission to learn how other countries are dealing with the virus that reshaped humanity. Leading the team is Gregg Hartmann, a senator with presidential aspirations and a dangerous ace up his sleeve. Joining him is a menagerie of some of the series' best and most popular Wild Cards, including Dr. Tachyon, aces Peregrine and Golden Boy, and jokers Chrysalis, Troll, and Father Squid.  From the jungles of Haiti and Peru to the tumultuous political climate of Egypt, from a monastery in Japan to the streets of the most glamorous cities of Europe, the Wild Cards are in for an eye-opening trip. While some are worshiped as actual gods, those possessing the most extreme mutations are treated with a contempt that's all too familiar to the delegates from Jokertown. New alliances will be formed, new enemies will be made, and some actions will fulfill centuries-old prophecies that make ripples throughout the future of the Wild Cards universe. \u003cb\u003eVarious Roles Read by a Full Cast of Narrators:\u003c\/b\u003e “Peregrine” read by Kathleen Turner (\u003ci\u003eDown by the Nile\u003c\/i\u003e) “Chrysalis” read by Selma Blair “Sen Gregg Hartmann \/ Puppetman” read by Clancy Brown “Yeoman Brennan” read by Adrian Paul “Xavier Desmond” read by Armin Shimerman (\u003ci\u003eFrom the Journal of Xavier Desmond\u003c\/i\u003e) “Dr Tachyon” read by Raphael Sbarge (\u003ci\u003eMirrors of the Soul\u003c\/i\u003e) “Cordelia Chaisson” read by Kasey Lansdale (\u003ci\u003eDown in the Dreamtime\u003c\/i\u003e) “Ti Malice” read by Nicholas Guy Smith “Jayewardene” read by Sanjit de Silva (\u003ci\u003eThe Teardrop of India\u003c\/i\u003e) “Troll” read by Richard Moll (\u003ci\u003eWarts and All\u003c\/i\u003e) “Sara Morgenstern” read by Emily Rankin “Joann Jefferson” read by Donnabella Mortel (\u003ci\u003eAlways Spring in Prague\u003c\/i\u003e) “Xbalanque” read by Noel Bearheart “Wilfried Molniya” read by Stefan Rudnicki (\u003ci\u003eLegends\u003c\/i\u003e) ”Hunapu” read by Ozzie Rodriguez “Mackie Messer” read by PJ Ochlan “Misha \/ Kahina” read by Yasmeen Barghouty “Fortunato” read by Prentice Onayemi (\u003ci\u003eZero Hour\u003c\/i\u003e)","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49335152476464,"sku":"BDbr8f","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/190336-br8f-Square.jpg?v=1733921852","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-br8f","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
