»Für Fans klassischer Fantasy ist Wild Cards Pflichtlektüre.« Subway Joker ... Das sind von einem außerirdischen Virus Veränderte; Mutanten; Freaks! Sie leben seit 70 Jahren unter den Menschen, und man hat sich an sie gewöhnt. Fast. Denn die meisten der New Yorker Joker leben in Jokertown, einem Ghetto im Süden Manhattans. Dies ist die Geschichte des fünften Polizeireviers, dessen Cops in Jokertown für Recht und Gesetz einstehen. Für manche ist es eine Zuflucht, für andere ein Ärgernis – aber für die meisten ist es die letzte Festung gegen die Freaks!

Nous sommes en 1986. Depuis qu’il a frappé la Terre quarante ans plus tôt, le virus Wild Card n’a cessé de se répandre, tuant une grande partie de la population, produisant quelques aces, des êtres aux pouvoirs surnaturels, et beaucoup de jokers, des humains amoindris et difformes. Aujourd’hui confrontés à un ennemi venu des profondeurs de l’espace et à son alliée sur Terre, une secte maçonnique, les héros créés par George R.R. Martin et ses complices (Roger Zelazny, Walter Jon Williams, Pat Cadigan...) ne sont pas au bout de leurs surprises.

The Ice Dragon is an enchanting tale of courage and sacrifice for young readers and adults by the wildly popular author of the #1 New York Times bestselling Song of Ice and Fire series, George R.R. Martin. Lavish illustrations by acclaimed artist Luis Royo enrich this captivating and heartwarming story of a young girl and her dragon. In the world of A Song of Ice and Fire the ice dragon was a creature of legend and fear, for no man had ever tamed one. When it flew overhead, it left in its wake desolate cold and frozen land. But Adara was not afraid. For Adara was a winter child, born during the worst freeze that anyone, even the Old Ones, could remember. Adara could not remember the first time she had seen the ice dragon. It seemed that it had always been in her life, glimpsed from afar as she played in the frigid snow long after the other children had fled the cold. In her fourth year she touched it, and in her fifth year she rode upon its broad, chilled back for the first time. Then, in her seventh year, on a calm summer day, fiery dragons from the North swooped down upon the peaceful farm that was Adara''s home. And only a winter child—and the ice dragon who loved her—could save her world from utter destruction. This new edition of The Ice Dragon is sure to become a collector''s item for fans of HBO''s megahit Game of Thrones. At the Publisher''s request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
