Dubbed "the American Tolkien" by "TIME" magazine, Martin has earned international acclaim for his monumental cycle of epic fantasy. Now the #1 "New York Times"-bestselling author delivers the fifth book in his landmark series--as both familiar faces and surprising new forces vie for a foothold in a fragmented empire.

Reviews

PRAISE FOR GEORGE R. R. MARTIN'S
A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE

"What's A Song of Ice and Fire? It's the only fantasy series I'd put on a level with J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings". . . . It's a fantasy series for hip, smart people, even those who don't read fantasy."--"Chicago Tribune"
" "
A Game of Thrones

"Reminiscent of T. H. White's "The Once and Future King, " this novel is an absorbing combination of the mythic, the sweepingly historical, and the intensely personal.""--Chicago Sun-Times"

A Clash of Kings

"Martin amply fulfills the first volume's promise and continues what seems destined to be one of the best fantasy series ever written."--"The Denver Post"

A Storm of Swords

"Riveting . . . a series whose brilliance continues to dazzle."--"Patriot News"

A Feast for Crows

"Of those who work in the grand epic-fantasy tradition, Martin is by far the best. In fact . . . this is as good a time as any to proclaim him the American Tolkien."--"Time "
