Publisher Description

A new adventure in the Wild Cards universe, edited by #1 New York Times bestselling author George R. R. Martin, featuring a fresh cast of characters and exploring the impact of the alien virus in Britain.

Developed by aliens and field-tested on Earth, the Xenovirus Takis-A was released in New York in 1946, changing the course of human history forever. Most of those infected die — and a tiny percentage become deformed beings known as jokers. A lucky few survivors become aces: superhumans gifted with amazing powers. Now the virus has reached Britain.

Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill, gifted with extraordinary longevity, together with the Enigma ace Alan Turing, set up a special organization named the Order of the Silver Helix. They will need all the wild cards they can find if they are to deal with the terrifying mutations spawned by the virus.

Knaves Over Queens features the writing talents of Paul Cornell, Marko Kloos, Mark Lawrence, Kevin Andrew Murphy, Emma Newman, Peter Newman, Peadar O Guilin, Melinda M. Snodgrass, Caroline Spector, and Charles Stross. This thrilling Wild Cards anthology delves into an alternate history Britain, where superpowered aces and twisted jokers vie for control in a world forever changed by an alien virus.

Perfect for current fans and new readers alike, Knaves Over Queens is an action-packed installment in the long-running shared universe science fiction series.
