Description
One-Eyed Jacks is the first book in the Rox Triad series within the Wild Cards universe. Edited by George R.R. Martin, this collection brings together stories from various authors to explore the tensions between those with Wild Card abilities and normal humans.
A threat emerges on Ellis Island, one that could unite even the most divided groups against a common enemy: the Jumpers, a gang of individuals who can transport their minds into others' bodies, committing acts of terror before abandoning their victims. The Jumpers' ruthless ambition to control the Wild Card community will push aces, jokers, and humans to work together in ways they never have before.
One-Eyed Jacks features contributions from Walton Simons, Chris Claremont, Lewis Shiner, William F. Wu, Victor Milan, Stephen Leigh, Melinda M. Snodgrass, and John Jos. Miller, alongside previously unpublished stories from Carrie Vaughn and Kevin Andrew Murphy.
