UNKNO

A novel of the eternal battle between science and superstition I’m Richard Oort. I’m a cop. Two months ago I had learned there were unseen worlds on the borders of our reality. Dimensions filled with horrific, nightmare creatures. Things that viewed humans as prey. Things that drove us to acts of unspeakable violence. I had to fight them. To defend the people I loved, and to find out who I was. And am. I’m still a cop. But now I’m also CEO of Lumina Enterprises, a mysterious, globe-girdling operation even I don’t know the full extent of. Replacing the previous guy, who appears to have also been Prometheus, really and truly. Now Prometheus is bound, and the job of taking the fight to the next level is mine. Because the horrors aren’t over. And they’ll use any human weakness they can get hold of. This is a fight for the world. For keeps.

A cop on the trail of a bizarre murder uncovers a hidden conspiracy-and shocking secrets about his late father-in this original graphic novel set in George R. R. Martin's shared-world universe, Wild Cards. In 1946, an alien virus ravaged the world, its results as random as a hand of cards. From that fateful moment to the present day, those infected either draw the black queen and die, draw an ace and receive superpowers, or draw the joker and are bizarrely mutated. Today, Aces, Jokers, and uninfected humans live in relative peace. Francis "Franny" Black is an uninfected human cop, trying to police a world filled with people with the extraordinary powers that he lacks. Newly-and some would say too suddenly-promoted to detective, he has been working out of Wild Card Central, the precinct in Jokertown where the bulk of the virus victims fell in 1946. Franny's father was one of the heroes of the precinct, killed in the line of duty, and Franny is finding it hard to fill his dead father's shoes. That is, until he's given a particularly insidious case and starts uncovering long-buried secrets that his father might have died to protect. Illustrated in a gorgeous, cinematic style by Michael Komarck and Elizabeth Leggett, this unique graphic novel is a visual feast certain to delight.
