A review by stuckonamber
Aces High by George R.R. Martin

4.0

Second volume of the shared world Wild Cards anthology. Moving forward to the eighties, the world is under threat from an alien menace. Dark in tone at times, and focusing more on the aliens than how the wild cards react to real history, this was sometimes a harder read than the previous book. However, the returning characters remain engaging and the final confrontation with the alien resulted in a surprising and positive outcome. Overall I enjoyed the story, if finding it hard read at times
