Super Reader

This Wild Cards installment is a full length novel, not an anthology. The main character is Mark Meadows, an idealistic hippie. He is on the run from law enforcement types from the USA, as well as the odd ace, and is forced from place to place around the world, and finally settles in Vietnam. This country has decided to set itself up as a Wild Card refuge, where all jokers are welcome. Mark doesn't find everything to his liking, and with the help of Belew, Croyd and others, decides to run some things on his own, or, rather, Moonchild does. When Moonchild falls for someone, will she lose her powers if she has sex?

Still good

Not the best of the Wild Card books but if you're a lover of the series, it is certainly still worth the read.

hey there, Captain Trips...

Dr. Mark Meadows (Captain Trips) has always been one of my favorite characters in the WC series, and in this book, he FINALLY gets the full treatment he deserves. If you like Dr. Meadows and/or any/all of his various chemical incarnations, you will thoroughly enjoy this book.
