George R. R. Martin's Wild Cards classic adventure, in trade paperback for the first time: a dangerous superpowered gang rises to power and threatens the citizens of New York City

Bloat, the boy-governor of the Rox, wanted to make Ellis Island a safe haven for Jokers, and made a choice to recruit the Jumpers, superpowered teen outcasts who could steal a man's body in the blink of an eye.

But under the leadership of Dr. Tachyon's psychotic grandson, the Jumpers grow more vicious and uncontrollable every day, becoming the greatest threat the Wild Cards have ever faced....

Edited by #1 New York Times bestselling author George R. R. Martin, Jokertown Shuffle features the writing talents of Walton Simons, Chris Claremont, Lewis Shiner, William F. Wu, Victor Milan, Stephen Leigh, Melinda M. Snodgrass, and John Jos. Miller, along with previously unpublished stories from Carrie Vaughn and Cherie Priest.

Reviews for Jokertown Shuffle (#9 Wild Cards)

"Praise for the Wild Cards series ""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 on Inside Straight ""This 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 on High Stakes ""Emotionally powerful. Wild Cards deals up the variety of short fiction without losing the continuity of a novel.""--The Seattle Times ""A delightfully imaginative speculation.""--The Toronto Star"
