Summary: Yetch!
Comment: I would rather get the Wild Card Virus than read this again....
Skip this and read #11 and you wont even notice that there was a book in the middle...Its just a story about Tachyon on his home planet trapped in the girls body. There is none of the best Wild Card Characters (with the exception of a few one liners from Poppin-Jay)
This book is the only major blemish on the wild card series...
End of story...
destroy this book if you have it so no-one else can ever read it...
Rating: 4
Summary: WildCardsX one of the best in the series
Comment: I think this book was one of the Best in the series. For once we get to actually see some of the characters work together and go through a whole book together.The Book holds to much information to understand the rest of the series to skip and is very good>>

Summary: Trash by Melinda Snodgrass. The rest of the series is great.
Comment: I love the wild-card series. I hated Double Solitaire.
The wild card series is a mosaic plot - a collection of authors writing about the same world. It worked great with the Man Kzin Wars (friends of Larry Niven) and in Wild Card Books 1-9.
Unfortunately, this book isn't a mosaic novel. Even less forturnate, Melinda Snodgrass is the author. Ms Snodgrass is better suited to writing cheap romances or mercenary soldier books. She should never have been let near this plot. The wild card talent in this book is rape, physical and mental. Naturally, the physical rapes described in loving detail. Dr. Tachyon is transformed from a flawed hero-type into woman-as-victim. My reactions went from impatience to distaste and finally to boredom. Couldn't finish the damn thing. This book will appeal to friends of the author - maybe.
Get the series, get the black trump trilogy, but skip this one.
