Perfect for current fans and new readers alike, Mississippi Roll is an adventurous journey along Ol’ Man River, featuring beloved characters from the Wild Cards universe.
Now on its final voyage, the historical steamboat Natchez is known for her super-powered guest entertainers. But after the suspicious death of a crewmember, retired NY police detective Leo Storgman decides to make this incident his personal case. His findings only lead to a growing number of questions. Is there some truth behind the ghostly sightings of the steamboat’s first captain Wilbur Leathers? What secret does the current captain seem to be hiding? And could the Natchez be ferrying mysterious – and possibly dangerous – cargo onboard?
Edited by #1 New York Times bestselling author George R. R. Martin, Mississippi Roll features the writing talents of Stephen Leigh, John Jos. Miller, Kevin Andrew Murphy, Carrie Vaughn (Martians Abroad), Hugo-Award winning author David D. Levine (Arabella of Mars), and Hugo and Nebula Award finalist Cherie Priest (Boneshaker).
Now in development for TV: Rights to develop Wild Cards have been acquired by Universal Cable Productions, the team behind The Magicians and Mr. Robot, with the co-editor of Wild Cards, Melinda Snodgrass, as executive producer.

A Song of Ice and Fire Book [4 + 5]A Feast for Dragons: A Feast for Crows and A Dance with Dragons MegabookA Song of Ice and Fire Book 4 (A Feast for Crows) and A Song of Ice and Fire Book 5 (A Dance with Dragons) combined into one book. ***********************************So, the action of A Feast for Crows mostly concentrates on King’s Landing and Cersei and Jaime and their ilk, dispatching Tyrion and Jon and Daenarys to what became A Dance with Dragons. This (imho) was a mistake that made the reading of A Feast for Crows something of a grind. Martin has said it was a bitch to write. George? It was also a bitch to read, my friend. He has said the other option available to him was to take all of the characters half way – to which, of course, the obvious response is: isn’t that what you’d been doing in all of the books previous? And what did he mean by ‘half way’ really? There are apparently to be seven books in the Song of Ice & Fire series, so each book moves the action along somewhat without any real sense of the finishing line. A reordering of both A Feast for Crows and A Dance with Dragons (as will inevitably happen with the TV show) makes for a better read – and so I did it. If you’re ploughing through A Feast for Crows now, I’d treat yourself to a chapter from A Dance with Dragons every two or three chapters – provided you don’t exceed the 500 page mark, or so, on A Dance with Dragons, you’ll enjoy A Feast for Crows more, believe me). -from hereAFFC & ADWD Combined Chapters OrderAFFC 02: The Prophet ADWD 01: Prologue AFFC 01: Prologue AFFC 12: The Kraken's Daughter ADWD 03: Daenerys 1 AFFC 19: The Iron Captain AFFC 20: The Drowned Man ADWD 04: Jon 1 AFFC 04: Cersei 1 AFFC 08: Cersei 2 AFFC 09: Jaime 1 ADWD 05: Bran 1 AFFC 03: The Captain Of Guards AFFC 05: Brienne 1 ADWD 13: Reek 1 AFFC 10: Brienne 2 AFFC 14: The Soiled Knight ADWD 10: Davos 1 AFFC 22: The Queenmaker AFFC 15: Brienne 3 ADWD 16: Davos 2 AFFC 13: Cersei 3 ADWD 20: Davos 3 AFFC 17: Jaime 2 AFFC 18: Cersei 4 ADWD 02: Tyrion 1 AFFC 07: Arya 1 ADWD 21: Reek 2 AFFC 21: Brienne 4 ADWD 06: Tyrion 2 AFFC 25: Cersei 5 ADWD 09: Tyrion 3 AFFC 41: The Princess In The Tower ADWD 07: The Merchant's Man AFFC 29: Cersei 6 ADWD 12: Daenerys 2 AFFC 30: The Reaver ADWD 14: Bran 2 AFFC 28: Jaime 3 AFFC 33: Cersei 7 ADWD 15: Tyrion 4 AFFC 26: Brienne 5 AFFC 11: Sansa 1 ADWD 17: Daenerys 3 AFFC 31: Jaime 4 ADWD 19: Tyrion 5 AFFC 32: Brienne 6 AFFC 06: Samwell 1 ADWD 08: Jon 2 AFFC 38: Brienne 7 ADWD 11: Jon 3 ADWD 18: Jon 4 AFFC 34: Jaime 5 ADWD 22: Jon 5 AFFC 39: Jaime 6 ADWD 23: Tyrion 6 AFFC 16: Samwell 2 ADWD 24: Daenerys 4 AFFC 43: Brienne 8 ADWD 25: The Lost Lord AFFC 24: Alayne 1 ADWD 26: The Windblown AFFC 37: Cersei 8 ADWD 27: The Wayward Bride ADWD 28: Tyrion 7 AFFC 40: Cersei 9 ADWD 29: Jon 6 AFFC 44: Cersei 10 ADWD 30: Davos 4 AFFC 42: Alayne 2 ADWD 31: Daenerys 5 AFFC 45: Jaime 7 ADWD 32: Melisandre ADWD 33: Reek 3 AFFC 23: Arya 2 ADWD 34: Tyrion 8 AFFC 27: Samwell 3 ADWD 35: Bran 3 AFFC 36: Samwell 4 ADWD 36: Jon 7 AFFC 46: Samwell 5 ADWD 37: Daenerys 6 AFFC 35: Cat Of The Canals ADWD 39: The Watcher ADWD 40: Jon 8 ADWD 41: Tyrion 9 ADWD 42: The Turncloak ADWD 43: The King's Prize ADWD 44: Daenerys 7 ADWD 45: Jon 9 ADWD 46: The Blind Girl ADWD 47: A Ghost In Winterfell ADWD 48: Tyrion 10 ADWD 62: The Griffin Reborn ADWD 49: Jaime ADWD 50: Jon 10 ADWD 51: Daenerys 8 ADWD 52: Theon ADWD 53: Daenerys 9 ADWD 54: Jon 11 ADWD 55: Cersei 1 ADWD 56: The Queensguard ADWD 57: The Iron Suitor ADWD 58: Tyrion 11 ADWD 59: Jon 12 ADWD 60: The Discarded Knight ADWD 61: The Spurned Suitor ADWD 63: The Sacrifice ADWD 64: Victarion ADWD 65: The Ugly Little Girl ADWD 66: Cersei 2 ADWD 67: Tyrion 12 ADWD 69: The Dragontamer ADWD 68: The Kingbreaker ADWD 70: Jon 13 ADWD 71: The Queen's Hand ADWD 72: Daenerys 10 ADWD 73: EpilogueThe Winds of Winter (due – oh, 2016?) and all subsequent books will unravel with all characters therein.

These manly men embody the fiercely independent, earthy alpha male and hero who isn't afraid to show the gentle, nurturing side of his complex nature when he's faced with a woman in need.
