Knaves Over ueens Wild Cards #26 Free download ï 2 Review Knaves Over ueens Wild Cards #26 Perfect for current fans and new readers alike Knaves Over ueens is an all new adventure set in London featuring a fresh cast of characters from the Wild Cards universeDeveloped by aliens and field tested on Earth the virus known as Xenovirus Takis A was released in New York in 1946 changing the course of human history forever Most of those infected die and a tiny percentage become deformed beings known as jokers A lucky few survivors become aces superhumans gifted with amazing powers Now the virus has reached BritainThere Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill gifted with extraordinary longevity together with the Enigma ace Alan Turing set. I discovered this series about the same time I began reading A Song of Ice and Fire and found this different world just as inviting The mixture of past events in a world of aces and jokers was too much to resist Knaves Over ueens originally released in 2018 is the story of England and their experiences with the virus that can produce good and bad results in people I might have been hoping for with this book and like the virus I found a mixture of positives and negativesFirst off the actual writing by the various authors is very good although some of the characters are a bit hollow Perhaps it is due to the many previously published books and the idea that aces will do good things and be heroes which caused this dissatisfaction Little wonder then that the uirkier characters were my favorites The book is a collection of stories that take place over seven decades which causes the British storyline to lose some cohesion While there is some minimal interaction between characters the only time definite continuation occurs is when a few of the authors contribute than one story and they pick up the trail of their characters years later Some of these characters were not my favorites especially one series which features a female who identifies as a Celtic goddess There are also many imaginative stories such as Emma Newman s How to Turn a Girl to Stone and Night Orders by Paul Cornell There are a few stories with references to famous musicians and Mr Cornell s David Bowie appearance is fun as well as creative without spoiling Bowie takes some advice and performs an about face with his musical direction a positive step though different from our reality My favorite story The Visitor by Mark Lawrence who creates a most unlikely hero in perhaps what is the most creative story in the bookBottom line While this may not be the best book in the Wild Card universe it has appeal and contains a few gems Four stars

My favourite all time seriesBest bits Origin stories for Captain Flint and Double Helix The latter is a terrific character Melinda Snodgrass is an underrated writer IMOThe villain characters The Green Man and Badb are three dimensional and the stories were excellentStonemaiden and The Visitor had very similar structured stories and were both about teenage girls both terrific nonethelessMy favourite story was the one about Jenny Three Arms and the Mole There needs to be stories with co protagonist male and female charactersAverage bit The Seamstress story was trademark Wild Cards chock full of cameos and evoked the period of time well but the story wasn t anything specialBelow average bits Archimedes not really sure why he is called that had some very good and presumably accurate research into the Falklands War but the plot felt a little dryThe other story evoked the feel of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy well but the lead character is entirely forgettable and I m not sure that the plot made sense
