In naher Zukunft startet eine bemannte Mission von Cape Canaveral zu einem Asteroiden, der sich der Erde nähert. Gleichzeitig beginnt ein Wettlauf zwischen der NASA und der indisch-chinesischen Raumfahrtbehörde. Doch im All erwartet beide Sonden eine unerwartete Herausforderung.

Ein Himmelskörper, zunächst als Asteroid identifiziert, entpuppt sich als außerirdisches Raumschiff. Astronauten werden von den geheimnisvollen Lenkern des Schiffs mitgenommen und entdecken, dass die Menschheit die letzte Hoffnung für eine untergehende Zivilisation ist.

Decades after an alien virus changed the course of history, the surviving population of Manhattan still struggles to understand the new world left in its wake. Natural humans share the rough city with those given extraordinary-and sometimes terrifying-traits. While most manage to coexist in an uneasy peace, not everyone is willing to adapt. Down in the seedy underbelly of Jokertown, residents are going missing. The authorities are unwilling to investigate, except for a fresh lieutenant looking to prove himself and a collection of unlikely jokers forced to take matters into their own hands-or tentacles. The deeper into the kidnapping case these misfits and miscreants get, the higher the stakes are raised. Edited by #1 New York Times bestselling author George R. R. Martin and acclaimed author Melinda M. Snodgrass, Lowball is the latest mosaic novel in the acclaimed Wild Cards universe, featuring original fiction by Carrie Vaughn, Ian Tregillis, David Anthony Durham, Melinda M. Snodgrass, Mary Anne Mohanraj, David D. Levine, Michael Cassutt, and Walter John Williams. Perfect for old fans and new readers alike, Lowball delves deeper into the world of aces, jokers, and the hard-boiled men and women of the Fort Freak police precinct in a pulpy, page-turning novel of superheroics and mystery
