The third volume, part one of A Song of Ice and Fire, the greatest fantasy epic of the modern age. GAME OF THRONES is now a major TV series from HBO, featuring a stellar cast. Winter approaches Westeros like an angry beast. The Seven Kingdoms are divided by revolt and blood feud. In the northern wastes, a horde of hungry, savage people steeped in the dark magic of the wilderness is poised to invade the Kingdom of the North where Robb Stark wears his new-forged crown. And Robb's defences are ranged against the South, the land of the cunning and cruel Lannisters, who have his younger sisters in their power. Throughout Westeros, the war for the Iron Throne rages more fiercely than ever, but if the Wall is breached, no king will live to claim it.

'Nobody does fantasy quite like George R.R. Martin' Sunday Times 'Colossal, staggering! 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
I'm pretty much hooked on anything from this genre (I love Raymond Feist, Tolkien etc..) A friend suggested I try these books and I'm very glad I did!! Theres no other word for them other than EPIC! A Storm of Swords is easily my favourite as the Stark children really seem to grow up and come into their own in this book, I just cant wait for his next installment due out this year! -
Jennifer BellFor once, a fantasy novel where characters are sacraficed for the plot rather than vice versa. Written so realistically uni history students use it for medieval research. Fantastic character development. Normally descriptive writing becomes monotomous, but here, its woven seamlessly into a plot 'Lost' writers would be envious of. -
