A Storm of Swords: A Song Of Ice And Fire: Book Three

by George R.r. Martin

Random House Publishing Group | May 28, 2002 | Trade Paperback

GAME OF THRONES: A NEW ORIGINAL SERIES, NOW ON HBO.

Here is the third volume in George R. R. Martin's magnificent cycle of novels that includes A Game of Thrones and A Clash of Kings. As a whole, this series comprises a genuine masterpiece of modern fantasy, bringing together the best the genre has to offer. Magic, mystery, intrigue, romance, and adventure fill these pages and transport us to a world unlike any we have ever experienced. Already hailed as a classic, George R. R. Martin's stunning series is destined to stand as one of the great achievements of imaginative fiction.

A STORM OF SWORDS

Of the five contenders for power, one is dead, another in disfavor, and still the wars rage as violently as ever, as alliances are made and broken. Joffrey, of House Lannister, sits on the Iron Throne, the uneasy ruler of the land of the Seven Kingdoms. His most bitter rival, Lord Stannis, stands defeated and disgraced, the victim of the jealous sorceress who holds him in her evil thrall. But young Robb, of House Stark, still rules the North from the fortress of Riverrun. Robb plots against his despised Lannister enemies, even as they hold his sister hostage at King's Landing, the seat of the Iron Throne. Meanwhile, making her way across a blood-drenched continent is the exiled queen, Daenerys, mistress of the only three dragons still left in the world. . . .

But as opposing forces maneuver for the final titanic showdown, an army of barbaric wildlings arrives from the outermost line of civilization. In their vanguard is a horde of mythical Others-a supernatural army of the living dead whose animated corpses are unstoppable. As the future of the land hangs in the balance, no one will rest until the Seven Kingdoms have exploded in a veritable storm of swords. . .

    Nothing predictable about book #3

    This series continues to impress! Book 3 was full of unexpected twists and turns and has once again, left me eager to dive into the next book in the series. As the title aptly predicts, this book is largely about war, and the strategies and their strategists. Some reviewers have complained that there are too many characters (new and old) to keep track of, but I think the author does a nice job of reintroducing the characters and their relevance upon revisiting them, so I never felt at a loss regarding who meant what to whom. You won't get bogged down - just enjoy! Cannot wait for book 4!

    Best in the series so far

    This book is absolutely mind blowing. The author waits until you're good and comfortable and then turns your world upside down. Characters you thought you'd love, you hate and vice versa. If Ned's death shocked you in book 1, prepared to freak out.

    Having read the next two books in the series I can say this one really is a chreshendo. The first two build up and then the next two are the follow up and after math. The changing perspectives always keeps it fresh, the character development is amazing.

    You'll really enjoy this book, if the series hasnt grabbed you yet this book will do it for you.

    This is even better than Martin's last effort. Anything is possbile in this book. Many of the main characters get killed off, which is unusual but nice for a change. It's nice to see that sometimes the goods guys can lose too. This is definitely a must have if you have read the first two novels!!!!

About the Author

George R.R. Martin sold his first story in 1971 and has been writing professionally since then. He spent ten years in Hollywood as a writer-producer, working on The Twilight Zone, Beauty and the Beast, and various feature films and television pilots that were never made. In the mid '90s he returned to prose, his first love, and began work on his epic fantasy series, A Song of Ice and Fire. He has been in the Seven Kingdoms ever since. Whenever he's allowed to leave, he returns to Santa Fe, New Mexico, where he lives with the lovely Parris, and two cats named Augustus and Caligula, who think they run the place.
