Donnabella Mortel Walker Narrates Aces Abroad Wild Cards IV, Edited by George R.R. Martin
As the Aces Abroad audiobook narrator, Donnabella Mortel Walker stepped into a shared superhero universe built decades before it was a genre. Its creator is the author behind Game of Thrones.
Aces Abroad is the fourth volume in the Wild Cards series. The long-running anthology was created and edited by George R.R. Martin, author of A Song of Ice and Fire, which HBO adapted into the Emmy Award-winning Game of Thrones.

What the Aces Abroad Audiobook Narrator Had to Hold Together
Wild Cards is a mosaic novel written by a rotating team of authors. It follows a world reshaped by an alien virus that grants some survivors extraordinary abilities, while it disfigures others.
Narrating a Wild Cards volume therefore means voicing a rotating cast written by multiple authors. Each one has a different tone, yet all of them live inside one continuous alternate history. Donnabella’s narration holds that patchwork together: distinct characters, distinct authorial voices, one throughline.
A mosaic novel is written by many hands. The narration is what makes it sound like it was written by one.
A Catalog Built on Range
Aces Abroad sits alongside narration work spanning science fiction, war, and alternate history. For example, there are the Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff titles Illuminae and Aurora’s End. There is also This Shattered World with Meagan Spooner.
In addition, her work on Even If the Sky Is Falling earned the AudioFile Earphones Award. For booking inquiries on audiobook narration, commercial voice over, or video game voice work, visit the Voice & Narration page.
