George R.R. Martin's shared universe series Wild cards produced many good stories back in the '80's and it was wonderful to find[at long last!] a brand new addtion to this great series. This one is "Inside Straight"[all the titles have a gambling connotation] and deals with a new reality TV show to find the newest American hero & winds up in a life and death battle against heavy odds in Egypt. Superlative writing from Mr. Martin and collaborators, Melinda Snodgrass,Carrie Vaughn, J.J. Miller & others.TORBooks 27.95Can.
