“James Hibberd covered Game of Thrones from start to
finish and he knows where all the bodies are buried. It's all here,
in his oral history of the series: how it began, how it ended,
dragons and direwolves, what went on in front of the cameras and
what went on behind the scenes, the triumphs and the stumbles, the
tough decisions, the forks in the road, the reasons
why. Actors, directors, showrunners, producers, executives,
even me. . . . Fire Cannot Kill a
Dragon has it all, everything you ever wanted to
know. Game of Thrones was an amazing ride. Fire
Cannot Kill a Dragon is an amazing read.”—George R. R.
Martin
“A great read, informative and insightful . . . Hibberd’s
impressive reach also helps; he speaks to just about every major
player in the show’s orbit, from actors like Peter Dinklage, Emilia
Clarke, and Kit Harington to directors like Neil Marshall and
Miguel Sapochnik, the people responsible for some of the show’s
most ambitious episodes.”—The A.V. Club
“After spending a decade religiously covering the HBO fantasy hit
series, the Entertainment Weekly writer delivers all of the
behind-the-scenes secrets of Westeros in a must-read for fans. With
over fifty interviews to offer new insights and never-before-seen
photos from the secretive set, Hibberd might just become King in
the North (Pole) this holiday.”—E! News
“This book will change how you see Game of Thrones.”—Wired
