A Song of Ice and Fire. Book 1: A Game of Thrones
A Song of Ice and Fire. Book 1: A Game of Thrones
The first volume in the greatest epic work of the modern age. Released for the first time since 1996, at the request of fans, in brand-new series style hardback. Kings and queens, knights and renegades, liars, lords and honest men. All will play the Game of Thrones. Now a major Sky Atlantic TV series from HBO, featuring a stellar cast.
Summers span decades. Winter can last a lifetime. And the struggle for the Iron Throne has begun. It will stretch from the south, where heat breeds plot, lust and intrigues; to the vast frozen north, where a 700-foot wall of ice protects the kingdom from the dark forces that lie beyond. In the game of thrones, you win or you die.
George R.R. Martin sold his first story in 1971 and has been writing professionally since then. He spent ten years in Hollywood as a writer-producer, working on The Twilight Zone, Beauty and the Beast, and various feature films and television pilots that were never made. In the mid '90s he returned to prose, his first love, and began work on his epic fantasy series, A Song of Ice and Fire. He has been in the Seven Kingdoms ever since. Whenever he's allowed to leave, he returns to Santa Fe, New Mexico, where he lives with the lovely Parris, and two cats named Augustus and Caligula, who think they run the place.
This Addition is provided with maps and appendix concerning members of royal houses and other characters.
