Bien que le virus d’origine extraterrestre soit d’abord apparu aux États-Unis, la contagion s’est répandue dans le monde entier, donnant naissance à des as et à des jokers un peu partout sur la planète. Une commission d’enquête envoyée à l’étranger se retrouve au coeur d’une machination à très grande échelle. Des jungles d’Haïti à la Muraille de Chine en passant par le mur de Berlin, les héros de Wild Cards vont voir du pays !

Return to the early days of the Wild Cards series, as a group of super-powered Aces set off on a fact-finding tour of the world Ever since the Wild Card virus spread across New York, people have changed - some becoming superpowered 'Aces', some distorted and bizarre 'Jokers'. But the effects of the virus have spread, and all across the world new mutations are popping up. Sent by the UN on a world tour, tasked with investigating and recording the spread of the virus - and the reactions of the world - a group of Aces will discover that no matter where in the world they are, one thing will remain the same. Humanity is capable of kindness, acceptance and tolerance. But not all of the time ... Featuring stories by George R. R. Martin, Melinda M. Snodgrass, Stephen Leigh, Walter Simons and many more, this volume also contains two new stories by Carrie Vaughn and Kevin Andrew Murphy never before published in the UK.

What would our world be like if superhuman heroes and villains had been real flesh-and-blood men and women who lived through the 20th century's most turbulent history? In Wild Cards 4: Aces Abroad, a fact-finding mission seeks the truth about how Wild Cards are treated in other nations. From the jungles of Haiti to the Great Wall of China and behind the Iron Curtain, the Wild Cards team investigates the fate of their fellow Aces and Jokers everywhere.

With well over a dozen books and more on the way, the Wild Cards series has a cast of characters too large to be covered in just one book. Aces & Jokers fills out the roster from the Wild Cards Campaign Setting with biographical and game information on dozens of aces, jokers, and nats from the series - everything you need to fill out the ranks in your own Mutants & Masterminds game. As a bonus, you can use the character stats in this book for other settings as well, providing you with ready-made villains, heroes, and other non-player characters.
