Read by Roy Dotrice.
Four contend for power over the Iron Throne and the Land of the Seven Kingdoms; alliances shift, and betrayal is always an option. House Lannister's head, Joffrey, rules uneasily. Joffrey's enemy, Lord Stannis, is disgraced and enthralled. Robb of House Stark still rules the North, implacable in his enmity towards his Lannister foes, even as they hold his sister hostage. And the exiled queen Daenerys, mistress of the world's last three dragons, makes her way across a blood-drenched continent. But as opposing forces maneuver for the final titanic showdown, there appears an army of barbaric wildlings, led by undead Others. The unpredictable violence of a final cataclysm is inevitable; the one certain thing is that many men will die upon many swords.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Tolkien for our times submitted by klsyking on July 20, 2011, 8:17am I've read reviews on NPR of these books and their critic calls George R.R. Martin the Tolkien of our times. I agree wholeheartedly with this assessment. Fantasy books can be drool, because there are only so many ways that you can tell the same story. Martin's books, on the other hand, are exciting and complex with a cast of characters that one becomes attached to very quickly. The narrator isn't the best, but I've listened to three of these books on tape so far, and I've gotten used to his voice. Book 3 is my favorite so far. Things are getting really exciting and the dramatic irony has intensified as characters cross each others' paths unknowingly. I am anxious to read the fourth and fifth books!!

Great series submitted by ashflowtuff on June 28, 2012, 12:53pm Definitely read this series. Don't be intimidated by the length of the books. You will get sucked in and finish them faster that you think. Read them before you watch the TV show. This is one of the best fantasy stories I've read.

Don’t waste your time submitted by Aimless on July 24, 2019, 2:41pm I love books on cd, but not this one

Sd submitted by smr on July 1, 2020, 9:09am Cool cd

good but... submitted by christina.tingle37 on August 1, 2020, 11:57pm The first two audio books in the series had a little intro like "Disk 3" and an outro of "end of disk 3". This one doesn't have either for some reason, so sometimes if I'm not paying the most attention I'll listen to the first two tracks again without realizing it. I love the narrator and the stories, I just can't fathom why that was taken out, other than just to save time. But it's already 39 disks, might as well just leave it in.
