Publisher's Summary
Back in print after a decade is Wild Cards III: Jokers Wild, featuring fiction by George R. R. Martin, Roger Zelazny, Walter Jon Williams, and others.
On September 15, 1946, the Wild Card virus was released, spreading a wave of mutations around the globe. "Aces" were endowed with extraordinary powers while "Jokers" were cursed with bizarre mental or physical disabilities. September 15th is now Wild Card Day. With each passing year, the festivities become larger and more fevered. And 1986 - the 40th anniversary - promises to be the biggest Wild Card Day ever.
But in New York City, not everyone is celebrating: The Astronomer, a twisted, powerful genius, has been planning his own special festivities for Wild Card Day...a day of revenge against those who have opposed him....

Excellent work, but VOLUME!
OK, I;ve recently gotten into Wild Cards, and love the books. But listening to the audiobooks is hard, because the narrators are sometimes difficult to hear. In an attempt to be appropriately dramatic, they drop their voices to a very hard to hear sotto voice. Felicia Day was the only narrator I never had to rewind for. (She's the reason there's 2 stars and not 1/2 for performance.)
The narrator for Specter was the worst. His voice is lovely to listen to and I think he has the right gravitas for the character, but he was also the most replayed of all the narrators.
Let me say it clearly: the ONLY complaint I have is about volume. The narrators portrayed their characters brilliantly, but it was very hard to hear some of them.
Especially in traffic, but even through headphones.

The cast
The cost was amazing they in bodied the characters really well apart from the woman who played roulette, i’m sorry but she just didn’t cut it she would draw out the wrong words or pause at the wrong time. It’s not bad but just spent the time listening to her, just for waiting the next narrator
