Inside Straight by George R R Martin

Soon to be a show on Hulu>

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.

In 1946, an alien virus that rewrites human DNA was accidentally unleashed in the skies over New York City. It killed ninety percent of those it infected. Nine percent of those who survived mutated into tragically deformed creatures. And one percent gained superpowers. The>Wild Cards shared-universe series, created and edited since 1987 by>New York Times #1 bestseller George R. R. Martin along with Melinda Snodgrass, is the tale of the history of the world since then--and of the heroes among that one percent.

Originally begun in 1987, long before George R. R. Martin became a household name among fantasy readers (The American Tolkien --Time>magazine), the>Wild Cards series earned a reputation among connoisseurs for its smart reimagining of the superhero idea. Now, with>Inside Straight, the Wild Cards continuity jumps forward to a new generation of major characters, entirely accessible to Martin's hundreds of thousands of new readers, with all-original stories by Martin himself, along with Daniel Abraham, Michael Cassutt, and Stephen Leigh, among others.
