Auf dem Rückweg vom Planeten LV-426 docken sie mit der Sulaco an der Raumstation Anchorpoint an, in Sicherheit sind sie deshalb aber noch lange nicht.

Es ist kinderleicht, sich Zugang ins Bewußtsein eines Mitmenschen zu verschaffen, wenn man über die nötige elektronische Ausrüstung verfügt. Der Handel mit Neurosen, Thrills, Psychosen und aparten Abartigkeiten blüht. Das Franchising von anderen Persönlichkeiten ist an der Tagesordnung. Pathos-Finder sind Spezialisten auf dem Gebiet, sich in anderer Leute Bewußtsein zurechtzufinden, ein ebenso feinfühliger wie knochenharter, gefährlicher Job. Man kann mit ihm reifen, wenn man stark ist - oder sich verlieren und nie mehr zum eigenen Ich zurückfinden.

1979. Diffusosi sulla Terra da ormai tre decenni, il virus alieno wild card ne ha quasi sterminato la popolazione umana, i pochi superstiti sono stati colpiti da mutazioni genetiche che li hanno trasformati in mostri, chiamati joker. Solo una ristretta minoranza, invece, ha subito mutazioni positive, acquisendo facoltà straordinarie, degne dei supereroi dei fumetti: sono i cosiddetti assi. Nel corso degli anni la diffidenza dei nat, i non contagiati, ha costretto i due gruppi di mutanti a vivere isolati, in una zona di Manhattan chiamata Jokertown. Ma le minacce dallo spazio non sono finite: dopo il virus, ecco che la Terra sta per essere invasa dallo Sciame, una creatura cosmica tanto misteriosa quanto devastante. Per combatterla, assi e joker dovranno formare un'alleanza tutt'altro che scontata e prepararsi per una battaglia che nessuno può permettersi di perdere... Racconti di: Pat Cadigan, George R. R. Martin, Victor Milán, John J. Miller, Lewis Shiner, Melinda M. Snodgrass, Walter Jon Williams, Walton Simons, Roger Zelazny.
