No último volume do Quarteto do Titereiro e sétimo da série Wild Cards, uma odisseia de loucura, violência, paixões e intrigas políticas altera para sempre os destinos de Ases e Curingas em todo o mundo. No universo da série Wild Cards, um vírus alienígena atinge a Terra logo após a Segunda Guerra Mundial, dotando alguns seres humanos de destrezas físicas e mentais e deixando outros desfigurados e enlouquecidos pela contaminação. É assim que surge uma sociedade dividida entre Ases e Curingas. Em A mão do homem morto, Crisálida, uma das curingas mais influentes de Nova York, é encontrada brutalmente assassinada em seu conhecido restaurante, o Crystal Palace. Agora, dois homens estão atrás do assassino: Jay Ackroyd, um ás que trabalha como detetive particular e que encontrou o cadáver mutilado; e o talentoso arqueiro conhecido como Yeoman, que foi acusado pelo crime. A mão do homem morto é o quarto volume do Quarteto do Titereiro, uma tetralogia do universo Wild Cards, que teve início com Ases pelo mundo, Jogo sujo e Ás na manga.

A haunted father who discovers a place where incomplete things—and people—are made whole. A mischievous satyr who hatches a plan to set loose chaos on a global scale. A workaholic witch in search of her kitty companion. Invasive technology to rewrite the human brain. Dragon slayers. Zombies. Time travelers. Ice skaters. These twenty short stories stretch across multiple universes and beyond death—and yet, they remain intimate, personal, emotional. They demonstrate the strength of the human spirit to find hope and seek a better tomorrow in even the darkest times. A selection of the best speculative fiction from DreamForge and Space & Time literary magazines, these are the stories we need today as we struggle through a pandemic, divisive politics, rampant misinformation, a belligerent defiance of facts and science, and new technologies that are already spiraling beyond our control. Read, my friends… and take hope. This short story anthology includes: Answered Prayers By Scott Edelman Pioneer By Mark Gallacher The Ghost of a Smile By John Jos.
