SynopsisNOW THE ACCLAIMED HBO SERIES GAME OF THRONES Here is the first volume in George R. R. Martin's magnificent cycle of novels that includes A Clash of Kings and A Storm of Swords . As a whole, this series comprises a genuine masterpiece of modern fantasy, bringing together the best the genre has to offer. Magic, mystery, intrigue, romance, and adventure fill these pages and transport us to a world unlike any we have ever experienced. Already hailed as a classic, George R. R. Martin's stunning series is destined to stand as one of the great achievements of imaginative fiction. A GAME OF THRONES Long ago, in a time forgotten, a preternatural event threw the seasons out of balance. In a land where summers can last decades and winters a lifetime, trouble is brewing. The cold is returning, and in the frozen wastes to the north of Winterfell, sinister and supernatural forces are massing beyond the kingdom's protective Wall. At the center of the conflict lie the Starks of Winterfell, a family as harsh and unyielding as the land they were born to. Sweeping from a land of brutal cold to a distant summertime kingdom of epicurean plenty, here is a tale of lords and ladies, soldiers and sorcerers, assassins and bastards, who come together in a time of grim omens. Here an enigmatic band of warriors bear swords of no human metal; a tribe of fierce wildlings carry men off into madness; a cruel young dragon prince barters his sister to win back his throne; and a determined woman undertakes the most treacherous of journeys. Amid plots and counterplots, tragedy and betrayal, victory and terror, the fate of the Starks, their allies, and their enemies hangs perilously in the balance, as each endeavors to win that deadliest of conflicts: the game of thrones.

  • The Beginning of a Wonderful Story

    A Game of Thrones is the intriguing first book in the A Song of Ice and Fire medieval fantasy series. I've been reading these since 2005 and have always found something new to the mysteries. They have the same absorption as a good detective novel. I never liked fantasy before, but I love this series. There are sister books to the tale as well. George R. R. Martin is a fantastic writer. One warning is that the following books turn into very dark fantasy. Otherwise, I highly recommend this series.

  • Game of thrones review

    This audiobook is awesome. If you are new to the series, seen the shows, or whatever other purpose you have of listening to the audiobook, you will not be disappointed. This is a great and it has filled many hours of driving with excitement. Only downside is that it has so many discs. Having to change them got to be challenging if I hadn't prepared to do so before my car ride. Absolutely stunn
