accomplishedThis is the second book in what we're calling our 'American Triad' (MISSISSIPPI ROLL was delivered in October, and we're still hard at work on TEXAS HOLD'EM), and the twenty-fifth volume of the overall series... but no, it's not necessary to have read the first twenty-four to enjoy this one.
And it's a helluva ride, I think. The cast includes old fan favorites like Mr. Nobody, Double Helix, Abigail the Understudy, Golden Boy, Natya, John Fortune, John Nighthawk, Hardhat, and the Sleeper, but some exciting new characters will be on hand as well. Wait till you meet Meathooks, Birdbrain, and Khan.
The table of contents:
John Jos. Miller "A Long Night at the Palmer House"
Kevin Andrew Murphy "Down the Rabbit Hole"
Christopher Rowe "The Motherfucking Apotheosis of Todd Motherfucking Taszycki"
Paul Cornell "A Bit of a Dinosaur"
Marko Kloos "Stripes"
Melinda M. Snodgrass "The Sister in the Streets"
Mary Anne Mohanraj "A Beautiful Facade"
Saladin Ahmed "Meathooks on Ice"
I had a great time editing this one. Hope you'll all like it as much as I do.
And if you've yet to try Wild Cards, the world's longest-running shared world anthology series (thirty years and counting!)... hey, what are you waiting for!
No publication date for LOW CHICAGO yet, but you'll know as soon as Tor tells me.
