Description

George R.R. Martin's A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE -- the story so far. The greatest epic work of the modern age is now available in a collectible box set. A GAME OF THRONES has been adapted into a hit HBO original series. 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. The HBO adaption of A Game of Thrones is currently airing worldwide and has already proved so popular that a second season has been commissioned. The box set includes: A GAME OF THRONES A CLASH OF KINGS A STORM OF SWORDS, 1: STEEL AND SNOW A STORM OF SWORDS, 2: BLOOD AND GOLD A FEAST FOR CROWS

  • Watched season one on HBO with RainMan, and we both loved it. Got the set to read, and I could not pry myself away from the iPad!! It's a grownup version of Tolkien, with fewer monster-monsters and more human-monsters, but plenty of political maneuverings and enough graphic sex to keep RainMan's attention for quite some time. This is a fully imagined world with characters you will love and hate and then be completely pissed when they die off -- only to be replaced with more phenomenally interesting characters. read my way through the 5th-- Dance With Dargons, and now I'm going to have to sit back and wait for the next one. Arrrrrggggghhhhh...
