{"product_id":"lowball-a-wild-cards-novel","title":"Lowball: A Wild Cards Novel","description":"Now in development for TV: 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.\n\nDecades 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.\nEdited 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.\nPerfect 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.\nThe Wild Cards Universe\nThe Original Triad\n#1 Wild Cards\n#2 Aces High\n#3 Jokers Wild\nThe Puppetman Quartet\n#4: Aces Abroad\n#5: Down and Dirty\n#6: Ace in the Hole\n#7: Dead Man’s Hand\nThe Rox Triad\n#8: One-Eyed Jacks\n#9: Jokertown Shuffle\n#10: Dealer’s Choice\n#11: Double Solitaire\n#12: Turn of the Cards\nThe Card Sharks Triad\n#13: Card Sharks\n#14: Marked Cards\n#15: Black Trump\n#16: Deuces Down\n#17: Death Draws Five\nThe Committee Triad\n#18: Inside Straight\n#19: Busted Flush\n#20: Suicide Kings\nThe Fort Freak Triad\n#21: Fort Freak\n#22: Lowball\n#23: High Stakes\nThe American Triad\n#24: Mississippi Roll\n#25: Low Chicago\n#26: Texas Hold 'Em\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0765331950\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: LFV.0765331950.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Snodgrass, Melinda|Wild Cards Trust|Martin, George R.
