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. more

5/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Oct-26-2009; Truly an American Tolkien - Epic series indeed!; It has been many years since I've enjoyed a great epic fantasy/sci-fi novel. This immersive experience is on par with C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. Yet it brings a gritty adult modernism to it without spoiling the experience.

5/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Oct-25-2009; Great book, don't read it...; It is a great book, maybe one of the best fantasy/science fiction books I have ever read.

5/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Oct-24-2009; Nostalgic review...made me fall in love with fantasy, a masterpiece of not just the genre, but fiction in general; Don't want to make this seem a self serving review but I need to say it. I was not a fantasy reader before I came across A Game of Thrones. Closest things to it I read were some of Stephen King's horror-fantasy stuff, Harry Potter and...; read full review | report as inappropriate

5/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Oct-22-2009; The start of something incredible; This is the best book I've read in a long while.

1/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Jan-10-2009; No One to Like; I'm glad that so many people have found a new fantasy series that they can like.
