About this product

Product Information

NOW THE ACCLAIMED HBO SERIES GAME OF THRONES --THE MASTERPIECE THAT BECAME A CULTURAL PHENOMENON Winter is coming. Such is the stern motto of House Stark, the northernmost of the fiefdoms that owe allegiance to King Robert Baratheon in far-off King's Landing. There Eddard Stark of Winterfell rules in Robert's name. There his family dwells in peace and comfort: his proud wife, Catelyn; his sons Robb, Brandon, and Rickon; his daughters Sansa and Arya; and his bastard son, Jon Snow. Far to the north, behind the towering Wall, lie savage Wildings and worse--unnatural things relegated to myth during the centuries-long summer, but proving all too real and all too deadly in the turning of the season. Yet a more immediate threat lurks to the south, where Jon Arryn, the Hand of the King, has died under mysterious circumstances. Now Robert is riding north to Winterfell, bringing his queen, the lovely but cold Cersei, his son, the cruel, vainglorious Prince Joffrey, and the queen's brothers Jaime and Tyrion of the powerful and wealthy House Lannister--the first a swordsman without equal, the second a dwarf whose stunted stature belies a brilliant mind. All are heading for Winterfell and a fateful encounter that will change the course of kingdoms. Meanwhile, across the Narrow Sea, Prince Viserys, heir of the fallen House Targaryen, which once ruled all of Westeros, schemes to reclaim the throne with an army of barbarian Dothraki--whose loyalty he will purchase in the only coin left to him: his beautiful yet innocent sister, Daenerys.

This item didn’t come in exactly as pictured, but the seller responded immediately and was very gracious in offering me a partial refund even bough I wasn’t expecting one for what I paid for the item. I have bought from this seller before, and they are reputable and stand behind the products they sell. My other transactions with them have been perfect. Great communication. Packaging and price were good. Fairly fast shipping, too. Thanks.

    Not quite there yet

    I had just finished the wheel of time series when I picked the game of thrones , comparing apples and oranges. I found the WOT series much more interesting at this same juncture of book one than the GOT. Incest, and pushing little kids from high windows may make for a great HBO production, it is not on my list favorite reading materials, and that's in the first hundred pages. No telling what socially unacceptable habits will yet emerge. The dire wolves may prove interesting at some point.

  • This is a fabulous reading of a great novel, sure to entertain anyone!

    This is an awesome rendition of an already awesome fantasy novel by George R.R. Martin. It is read by the Tony-award winning and Guiness record-holding Roy Dotrice. Mr. Dotrice actually made it into the Guiness Book of World Records for his performance of A Game of Thrones--the accomplishment?--most characters performed in an audiobook. Anyone, who has read the book, or that has seen the show on HBO, knows that there are a crap-load of characters to keep straight. If you don't know your Starks from your Lannisters, your Stannis from your Renly, or your Gregor from your Sandor Clegane, then this audibook may help you. It will at the very least show you how many names you have been pronouncing wrong (if the HBO production hasn't done so already). For those who may be new to ...

  • Winter... has come. I'd add to that: and about bloody time, too!

    Okay, I am now about 100pp in. This is a refreshing read after finishing Dune. I had to cleanse my pallet after Dune and read a few other things, but now I'm into this. So far, I really enjoy it. The characters are interesting and the conflict is well crafted and interesting. I like the problem that Ned has in that he does not want to become the Hand but he can't really say No. Then the message comes through and he has to go and walks straight into a position knowing his predecessor was killed. It's hard to get a read on all the kids. Jon's the bastard, the sisters are hard to differentiate, Bran is the boyish imp (hope he's okay, but I don't know yet). The story moves along making reference to the history that lead to this point and making the reader ...

  • Didn't like at first, but won over mid-way through! Amazing series!

    While I thought the story was heavy-handed at first, I couldn't put this book down. I've now powered through the other three and am eagerly awaiting Dance with Dragons to be released in paperback. I like reading something before I see the show, so haven't gotten to see the HBO version yet...but I can imagine it's pretty accurate. At first I was turned off, it seemed like a cheap Lord of the Rings imitation with more sex and violence. However,once I reached the end I realized - it's much more than that. Because there are no magical creatures, there is no evil being trying to take over the world...it's just men. Being their cunning, evil (or loving) selves. Heartbreaking and endlessly interesting all at the same time. Highly recommended. AND DON'T STOP WITH ...

  • Great Read

    This is a must read for any fantasy fan. Interesting characters and plot twists.
