WILD CARDS IV ACES ABROAD is the fourth book in a series about a virus that was released changing the look of the world. Some people gained special abilities, some were changed entirely, but the world itself, changed the most. Now forty years later a group of people, including those from other Wild Card stories, are on a world tour to see how victims of the virus are treated.

WILD CARDS IV ACES ABROAD is narrated by a series of short stories written by George R. R. Martin placed in- between short stories written by various other authors. I hadn't read any of the others in this series but ACES ABROAD can be read as a standalone, and is very well done. I enjoy all that George R.R. Martin does but, as a huge Game of Thrones fan I and millions of others would really appreciate it if he would finish and release Winds of Winter and A Dream of Spring. Then he can write and edit everything his little heart desires.

If you're a fan of the Wild Cards series then read WILD CARDS IV. If you're a fan of fantasy and Sci-fi, you will want to read this this book, or if you need some George R.R. Martin to read until the Winds of Winter is released then read WILD CARDS IV you will enjoy it.
