Mississippi Roll: A Wild Cards Novel is an
adventurous journey along Ol’ Man River, featuring beloved
characters from the bestselling shared-universe science
fiction superhero series, edited by #1 New York Times
bestselling author George R. R. Martin.
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?
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).
