En cette année 1986, à New York, les festivités commémorantles 40 ans de l'apparition du virus Wild Card s'annoncent grandioses. Feux d'artifice, parades, spectacles de rue, banquets... Les commerçants se frottent les mains, car on attend encore plus de touristes et de fêtards que les années précédentes.Mais dans l'ombre, loin de la liesse générale, un génie du mal ourdit ses plans : l'Astronome ne connaît qu'une seule fête... la destruction !

Wild cards Tome 3 : jokers wild

Une sombre menace s'éveille sur Ellis Island, face à laquelle les dissensions entre as, jokers et humains paraissent bien vaines. Des créatures capables de transférer leur esprit dans n'importe quel corps se servent d'innocents pour commettre leurs crimes odieux, avant de les abandonner aux conséquences de leurs actes. Il pourrait bien s'agir du plus grand péril que la communauté des Wild Cards ait jamais connu, car même les as ne sont pas immunisés contre leurs méfaits...

George R. R. Martin, l'auteur du Trône de fer, a convoqué certaines des plus fines plumes de la science-fiction américaine pour bâtir un univers post-apocalyptique jouissif dans lequel il revisite l'histoire de la fin du XXe siècle.

Lorsqu'une série de meurtres particulièrement atroces ensanglante leur ville, ce n'est plus dans le labyrinthe des rues que Willie et Randi auront à mener l'enquête, mais dans les recoins les plus sombres de leurs propres passés.

            A KNIGHT OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS compiles the first three official prequel novellas to George R.R. Martin''s ongoing masterwork, A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE.
          
          Before Tyrion Lannister and Podrick Payne there was Dunk and Egg.
          A young, naive but courageous hedge knight, Ser Duncan the Tall towers above his rivals - in stature if not experience. Tagging along with him is his diminutive squire, a boy called Egg - whose true identity must be hidden from all he and Dunk encounter: for in reality he is Aegon Targaryen, and one day he will be king. Improbable heroes though they be, great destinies lie ahead for Dunk and Egg; as do powerful foes, royal intrigue, and outrageous exploits.
          Set in an age when the Targaryen line still holds the Iron Throne, and the memory of the last dragon has not yet passed from living memory, and featuring more than 160 illustrations by Gary Gianni, one of the finest fantasy artists of our time, this beautiful volume will transport readers to the world of the Seven Kingdoms in an age of bygone chivalry.
