After the alien virus struck humanity in the wake of World War II, a handful of the survivors found they possessed superhuman powers. The Wild Cards shared-world volumes tell their story. Here in book two, we trace these heroes and villains through the tumultuous 1980s, in stories from SF and fantasy giants such as George R. R. Martin, Roger Zelazny, Pat Cadigan, Lewis Shiner, Walter Jon Williams, and others.

In book 2 the character "Fortunado" repeatedly uses a homophobic slur in an angry manner that doesn't fit the character from the first book at all. For the most part he seems like a completely different person, and has lost his worldly sense and ends up coming across as a bigoted ass, and not in a way that endears in any manner. It's jarring enough that it pulls you right out of the story as you question why he has changed so much. Too bad this detail sticks out so brightly, because it would have been a 5 star review otherwise. That character continuity just ruined large portions because of how he was written and my enjoyment. Maybe we'll be back to form in book 3.
