About this product

Product Information

THE BOOK BEHIND THE SECOND SEASON OF GAME OF THRONES, AN ORIGINAL SERIES NOW ON HBO. George R. R. Martin, a writer of unsurpassed vision, power, and imagination, has created a landmark of fantasy fiction. In his widely acclaimed A Game of Thrones, he introduced us to an extraordinary world of wonder, intrigue, and adventure. Now, in the eagerly awaited second volume in this epic saga, he once again proves himself a master myth-maker, setting a standard against which all other fantasy novels will be measured for years to come. Time is out of joint. The summer of peace and plenty, ten years long, is drawing to a close, and the harsh, chill winter approaches like an angry beast. Two great leaders--Lord Eddard Stark and Robert Baratheon--who held sway over an age of enforced peace are dead . . . victims of royal treachery. Now, from the ancient citadel of Dragonstone to the forbidding shores of Winterfell, chaos reigns, as pretenders to the Iron Throne of the Seven Kingdoms prepare to stake their claims through tempest, turmoil, and war. As a prophecy of doom cuts across the sky--a comet the color of blood and flame--six factions struggle for control of a divided land. Eddard's son Robb has declared himself King in the North. In the south, Joffrey, the heir apparent, rules in name only, victim of the scheming courtiers who teem over King's Landing. Robert's two brothers each seek their own dominion, while a disfavored house turns once more to conquest. And a continent away, an exiled queen, the Mother of Dragons, risks everything to lead her precious brood across a hard hot desert to win back the crown that is rightfully hers. A Clash of Kings transports us into a magnificent, forgotten land of revelry and revenge, wizardry and warfare. It is a tale in which maidens cavort with madmen, brother plots against brother, and the dead rise to walk in the night. Here a princess masquerades as an orphan boy; a knight of the mind prepares a poison for a treacherous sorceress; and wild men descend from the Mountains of the Moon to ravage the countryside. Against a backdrop of incest and fratricide, alchemy and murder, the price of glory may be measured in blood. And the spoils of victory may just go to the men and women possessed of the coldest steel . . . and the coldest hearts. For when rulers clash, all of the land feels the tremors. Audacious, inventive, brilliantly imagined, A Clash of Kings is a novel of dazzling beauty and boundless enchantment--a tale of pure excitement you will never forget.

"The second novel of Martin's titanic Ice and Fire Saga [is]...a truly epic fantasy set in a world bedecked with 8000 years of history, beset by an imminent winter that will last ten years and bedazzled by swords and spells wielded to devastating effect....Here, he provides a banquet for fantasy lovers with large appetites."-Publishers Weekly, starred review, "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 truly epic fantasy set in a world bedecked with 8,000 years of history, beset by an imminent winter that will last ten years and bedazzled by swords and spells wielded to devastating effect." -- Publishers Weekly, starred review "High fantasy with a vengeance." -- The San Diego Union-Tribune "Rivals T. H. White's The Once and Future King. " -- The Des Moines Registe r "So complex, fascinating and well-rendered, readers will almost certainly be hooked by the whole series." -- The Oregonian "The richness of this invented world and its cultures lends Mr. Martin's novels the feeling of medieval history rather than fiction--except, of course, that he knows how to entertain." -- The Dallas Morning News, "The second novel of Martin's titanic Ice and Fire Saga [is]...a truly epic fantasy set in a world bedecked with 8000 years of history, beset by an imminent winter that will last ten years and bedazzled by swords and spells wielded to devastating effect....Here, he provides a banquet for fantasy lovers with large appetites."- Publishers Weekly , starred review, "The second novel of Martin's titanic Ice and Fire Saga [is]...a truly epic fantasy set in a world bedecked with 8000 years of history, beset by an imminent winter that will last ten years and bedazzled by swords and spells wielded to devastating effect....Here, he provides a banquet for fantasy lovers with large appetites." --Publishers Weekley, starred review Praise for A Game Of Thrones: "Grabs hold and won't let go. It's brilliant." --Robert Jordan "Martin makes a triumphant return to high fantasy...[His] trophy case is already stuffed with major prizes, including Hugos, Nebulas, Locus Awards and a Bram Stoker. He's probably going to have to add another shelf, at least." --Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Such a splendid tale and such a fantistorical! I read my eyes out." --Anne McCaffrey "The major fantasy of the decade...compulsively readable." --The Denver Post "It is perhaps the best of the epic fantasies--readable and realistic." --Marion Zimmer Bradley "We have been invited to a grand feast and pageant: George R. R. Martin has unveiled for us an intensely realized, romantic but realistic world....If the next two volumes are as good as this one, it will be a wonderful feast indeed." --Chicago Sun-Times "George R. R. Martin is one of our very best science fiction writers, and this is one of his very best books." --Raymond E. Feist "The major fantasy publishing event of 1996." --Science Fiction Chronicle

A Song of Ice and Fire continues with the excellent "A Clash of Kings"
George R. R. Martin's fantasy saga "A Song of Ice and Fire" started triumphantly with "A Game of Thrones". Now in book 2, "A Clash of Kings", this talented storyteller builds upon the first story with another rousing good tale. The world he has created, Westeros, Essos, et. al., is a fascinating milieu of lands that take on a personality of their own. The characters are so well-defined, they feel amazingly real. The story is rich and engrossing. Martin is a master at creating believable and essential dialog. And his writing style is a pure joy to millions of readers.

Okay
Not bad for the price but the shipping was very slow and went out of state twice. The book was the old version so it also didn’t match my others. Kind of disappointed but can’t give an awful review because it is still the book, same content. Just wish the description and picture would’ve matched the version.

Clash of Kings
A CLASH OF KINGS BY GEORGE R. R. MARTIN: A Clash of Kings is the second in the ongoing "Song of Ice and Fire" series, sequel to A Game of Thrones, and the series continues to be entertaining and interesting, one of my favorite ongoing fantasy series. What makes it different from other fantasy series is that Martin, instead of using chapter numbers and having everything be specifically chronological, has about five to ten characters whose heads you are in. So you can be immediately whisked away to another battle, another land, another family feud by the turn of the page. Plus Martin isn't afraid of killing of characters, which can be horrible if one gets really attached to certain characters, but I find it admirable that he has the bravely to do this. I think it isn't done enough in ... A CLASH OF KINGS BY GEORGE R. R. MARTIN: A Clash of Kings is the second in the ongoing "Song of Ice and Fire" series, sequel to A Game of Thrones, and the series continues to be entertaining and interesting, one of my favorite ongoing fantasy series. What makes it different from other fantasy series is that Martin, instead of using chapter numbers and having everything be specifically chronological, has about five to ten characters whose heads you are in. So you can be immediately whisked away to another battle, another land, another family feud by the turn of the page. Plus Martin isn't afraid of killing of characters, which can be horrible if one gets really attached to certain characters, but I find it admirable that he has the bravely to do this. I think it isn't done enough in fiction, specifically fantasy. Sure the good guys need to win, but not all the time! Near the end of A Clash of Kings there was a huge battle between two big armies: one attacking the other on a river, so starting as a naval battle, and then once the men landed on the ground moving on to trying to break into the fortress. Your regular historical or fantasy novel would have you in the head of your main character who would likely be one of the leaders of the armies. The P.O.V. might switch during the battle to the other leader's viewpoint on the other side and then come back to your main character. With Martin's literary device, the reader sees the battle unfolding from three interesting viewpoints: from the leader of the army in the fortress (who is an ugly dwarf); from one of the captains of the ships on the other side attacking the fortress, as he leads in the ship and engages the enemy (he ends up getting killed); and from a young girl who is a hostage in the fortress, under the watchful eye of the queen, in a room full of the important women who are just waiting around to find out if they are on the winning side, or if they are on the losing side and the enemy is about to break down the door and the knight will be ordered to kill them all so they won't end up as hostages. So instead of seeing the entire battle from one of possibly two P.O.V.s, the reader gets three totally different viewpoints, and it just helps to heighten the tension and suspense. Next in the series is A Storm of Swords, with A Feast For Crows due out November 8th. As Martin was writing A Feast For Crows, passing the thousand-page mark a couple of months before the book was done, he was told by his publisher that they can't have one book be this long. He'd previously promised that his next book would not be as long as A Storm of Swords, which was 1216 pages in the mass market edition. Since he's going to long pass this, he negotiated with Random House to split the book in two. What he's decided to do, and as I get further into the series I can't understand how he's going to do this, is have half of the characters in one book, and the other half in the next book. Some of the characters can be on their own tangents, meeting different people, and not actually have anything to do with the other main character's whose heads the reader is in, but there are other main characters who interact with each other quite often, and I just don't know how Martin is going to reconcile this. It's going to be interesting, that's for sure. And the good thing Martin said is that the new book comes out soon, and the next one is already half done.

The reason I bought this book is that when I read a book, I add it to my "library" and then I look for a first edition hard cover with dust jacket. I have all 85+ Star Wars novels and they are all first edition. You could say I am a collector but only of books that I really enjoy and I really get into this series. The author gives his story line a lot of twists and unexpected turns. Just when you thnik you have a hero figured out he changes it so it can't happen. I can't say much about the author himself though. His readers are waiting for about at least 7 years for him to finish this story line up. I will get the last book in this series but won't get any more by him. He seems to be more involved in other pursuits and, it seems to me, isn't too worried about this readers. Great story, ...
