Book description
HBO's hit series A GAME OF THRONES is based on George R R Martin's
internationally bestselling series A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE, the greatest
fantasy epic of the modern age.
George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series has set the
benchmark for contemporary epic fantasy. Labelled by Time magazine as
one of the top 100 most influential people in the world, Martin has
conjured a world as complex and vibrant as that of J. R.R. Tolkien's,
populated by a huge cast of fascinating, complex characters, and
boasting a history that stretches back twelve thousand years.
Three great storylines weave through the books, charting the civil war
for control of the Seven Kingdoms; the defence of the towering Wall of
ice in the uttermost north against the unearthly threat of the Others;
and across the Narrow Sea the rise to power of Daenerys Targaryen and
the last live dragons in the world.

A GAME OF THRONES

Preview chapter of THE WINDS OF WINTER 'Of those who work in the grand
epic fantasy tradition, Martin is by far the best'
Time Magazine
'Colossal, staggering… Martin captures all the intoxicating complexity
of the Wars of the Roses or Imperial Rome'
SFX
'The sheer-mind-boggling scope of this epic has sent other fantasy
writers away shaking their heads… Its ambition: to construct the Twelve
Caesars of fantasy fiction, with characters so venomous they could eat
the Borgias.'
Guardian George R. R. Martin is the author of fourteen novels,
including five volumes of A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE, several collections of
short stories and numerous screen plays for television drama and feature
films. He lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
