A Game of Thrones Written by George R.R. Martin To Download You copy please click here www.5x.co.nz/thrones.php Long ago, in a time forgotten, a preternatural event threw the seasons out of balance. In a land where summers can last decades and winters a lifetime, trouble is brewing. The cold is returning, and in the frozen wastes to the north of Winterfell, sinister and supernatural forces are massing beyond the kingdom’s protective Wall. At the center of the conflict lie the Starks of Winterfell, a family as harsh and unyielding as the land they were born to. Sweeping from a land of brutal cold to a distant summertime kingdom of epicurean plenty, here is a tale of lords and ladies, soldiers and sorcerers, assassins and bastards, who come together in a time of grim omens. Here an enigmatic band of warriors bear swords of no human metal; a tribe of fierce wildlings carry men off into madness; a cruel young dragon prince barters his sister to win back his throne; and a determined woman undertakes the most treacherous of journeys. Amid plots and counterplots, tragedy and betrayal, victory and terror, the fate of the Starks, their allies, and their enemies hangs perilously in the balance, as each endeavors to win that deadliest of conflicts: the game of thrones. Here is the first volume in George R. R. Martin’s magnificent cycle of novels that includes A Clash of Kings and A Storm of Swords. 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.

Review ------------------------------------------------------ Simply the best book I've read in a long time. I actually held off reading this book when it first came out, thinking that the hype was just that: hype. At the time I couldn't believe that some new book could be better than Jordan's WoT. I was wrong. I bought the Game of Thrones when the second book (Clash of Kings) came out in paperback, and after 100 pages I knew why everyone who reads this book loves it. Martin effortlessly gives you a dozen characters that you may not love (some are revolting), but you understand them. No character is "good" or "bad;" they are simply people, with private motivations, reasons, and prejudices. Part of what makes these books so great is that the characters are not flawless. Some likeable characters are blinded by thier pasts, or even thier sense of honor. Another thing about this book that is refreshing is the lack of "magic." Not that the world is without any, it takes a major backseat in the plot. Many stories today have


the "magic-user" as some kind of god-on-earth, and rely on him/her to save the world by some miraculous display of magic that only they can perform. This book has more to do with ruthless politicking than Messiahs. To wrap it up, BUY THIS BOOK! Not to lessen the greatness of Jordan, Goodkind, or any of the others...This series is on a different level. I know that as you read this many of you're probably sceptical, like I was. Just try A Game of Thrones, and at worst you'll be out a whooping 7.50. More likely, you will be floored by this unique book.
