Los cinco títulos hasta ahora publicados de «Canción de hielo y fuego», Juego de tronos , Choque de reyes , Tormenta de espadas , Festín de cuervos y Danza de dragones , llegan a las librerías en una nueva edición que conquistará tanto a los fans de esta saga épica como a aquellos que esperan la oportunidad perfecta para adentrarse en sus páginas por primera vez. «Larga vida a George Martin... Sacerdote literario, sabedor de su don para el personaje complejo, el lenguaje vívido y la visión salvaje de los mejores narradores.» The New York Times «Mata al niño, Jon Nieve. El invierno se nos echa encima. Mata al niño y que nazca el hombre.» La victoria de los leones Lannister ha dejado tras de sí un interminable reguero de sangre: lord Tywin yace enterrado, asesinado por mano de su propio hijo; la reina Cersei está encadenada y el pequeño rey Tommen ocupa un trono que podría matarlo. El destino de Poniente pende de un hilo. En el Muro, Jon Nieve se ve obligado a consolidar por la espada su rango como lord comandante de la Guardia de la Noche. Mientras, al otro lado del mar Angosto, Daenerys Targaryen, la Madre de Dragones, defiende su dominio contra hordas de enemigos tanto viejos como nuevos. Tras huir a las Ciudades Libres, el parricida Tyrion Lannister podría ser la clave para que la sangre del dragón, que nunca llegó a extinguirse por completo, resurja. No obstante, todo esfuerzo tal vez resulte ser en vano. Porque ahora, verdaderamente... se acerca el invierno. La crítica ha dicho: «Larga vida a George Martin... Sacerdote literario, sabedor de su don para el personaje complejo, el lenguaje vívido y la visión salvaje de los mejores narradores.» The New York Times «La capacidad de Martin para crear historias apasionantes de intriga es indiscutible.» El Mundo «Entre aquellos que se afanan en la gran tradición épica de la fantasía, Martin es, con diferencia, el mejor.» TIME Magazine «El sobrecogedor alcance de esta epopeya ha hecho que otros escritores de fantasía se lleven las manos a la cabeza.» The Guardian «El escritor de la famosa saga hace tiempo que ha resuelto su porvenir y ha construido su indiscutible trono: el del nuevo rey de la literatura fantástica.» Vanitatis

THE INSPIRATION FOR HBO AND SKY TV’S EMMY NOMINATED HOUSE OF THE DRAGON. Centuries before A Game of Thrones, an even greater game began, one that set the skies alight with dragon flame and saw the Seven Kingdoms turned to ash.

Wie alles begann! Die packende Vorgeschichte um die Herrschaft des Königshauses Targaryen. Was für Tolkiens Leser das Silmarillion ist, ist für die George R.R. Martin-Fans »Feuer und Blut«. Die epische Vorgeschichte von »Das Lied von Eis und Feuer«, bekannt als TV-Serienhit »Game of Thrones«, erzählt den Aufstieg und Fall des Hauses Targaryen. Das Buch spielt drei Jahrhunderte, bevor Martins berühmte Westeros-Saga beginnt, nämlich als Aegon Targaryen mit seinen Schwestergemahlinnen und ihren drei Drachen den Kontinent Westeros eroberte. 280 Jahre währte die Herrschaft seiner Nachkommen. Sie überstanden Rebellion und Bürgerkrieg – bis Robert Baratheon den irren König Aerys II. vom Eisernen Thron stürzte. Dies ist die Geschichte des großen Hauses Targaryen, niedergeschrieben von Erzmaester Gyldayn, transkribiert von George R.R. Martin. Als »House of the Dragon« von HBO verfilmt – Weltpremiere am 21. August 2022!

Nous sommes en 1986. Depuis qu’il a frappé la Terre quarante ans plus tôt, le virus Wild Card n’a cessé de se répandre, tuant une grande partie de la population, produisant quelques aces, des êtres aux pouvoirs surnaturels, et beaucoup de jokers, des humains amoindris et difformes. Aujourd’hui confrontés à un ennemi venu des profondeurs de l’espace et à son alliée sur Terre, une secte maçonnique, les héros créés par George R.R. Martin et ses complices (Roger Zelazny, Walter Jon Williams, Pat Cadigan...) ne sont pas au bout de leurs surprises.

Jamie Lynch, l’imprésario d’un des plus grands groupes de rock des années soixante, les Nazgûl, est retrouvé ligoté à son bureau et le coeur arraché. Un meurtre qui en fait remonter un autre à la surface : celui du chanteur du groupe, abattu en plein concert, en 1971. Deux crimes non élucidés distants d’une dizaine d’années. Une énigme. Parce que son quatrième roman est au point mort, parce qu’il a suivi l’affaire Charles Manson en tant que journaliste, parce qu’il est fasciné par l’histoire et la musique des Nazgûl, l’écrivain Sander Blair décide de mener sa propre enquête et d’en tirer un livre, son De sang-froid. Mais Sander va rapidement se rendre compte que, malgré les apparences, le meurtre de Jamie Lynch n’est pas une nouvelle affaire Sharon Tate. C’est bien plus compliqué. Et bien pire. Thriller fantastique hanté par des visions d’apocalypse, fascinante plongée dans l’Amérique de l’après-guerre du Viêt Nam sur laquelle plane le fantôme de l’âge d’or du rock, Armageddon Rag est une des réussites majeures de George R. R. Martin...

George R.R. Martin, De Fevre Dream Winter 1857. Abner Marsh heeft grote moeite werk te vinden als kapitein van een rivierstomer op de Mississippi. Als een rijke aristocraat hem onverwacht een lucratief aanbod doet, is Abner meteen op zijn hoede. De reden? De spookachtig bleke Joshua York met zijn kille blik gaat er volledig aan voorbij dat Abners vloot op één boot na compleet is vergaan tijdens een ongewoon strenge winter. Het laat hem bovendien onverschillig dat hij zijn investering de komende tien jaar niet zal terugverdienen. Wat wel zijn redenen zijn om de gevaarlijke Mississippi op te gaan, vertelt hij niet en de enige voorwaarde die hij stelt, is dat Marsh zijn afwijkende gedrag zonder vragen te stellen accepteert, hoe bizar, willekeurig of bevreemdend dat gedrag ook mag zijn. Abner gaat aarzelend akkoord, misschien tegen beter weten in. Pas tijdens de eerste reis met de Fevre Dream dringt het langzaam maar zeker tot hem door dat hij een overeenkomst is aangegaan waarvan de afloop heel onzeker is. `Dit boek kan zich meten met Anne Rice Dagboek van een onsterfelijke. Dit is revolutionair werk.'' Rocky Mountain News

For the first time, all five novels in the epic fantasy series that inspired HBO’s Game of Thrones are together in one eBook bundle. An immersive entertainment experience unlike any other, A Song of Ice and Fire has earned George R. R. Martin—dubbed “the American Tolkien” by Time magazine—international acclaim and millions of loyal readers. Now this bundle collects the entire monumental cycle in the most convenient format available: A GAME OF THRONES A CLASH OF KINGS A STORM OF SWORDS A FEAST FOR CROWS A DANCE WITH DRAGONS “One of the best series in the history of fantasy.”—Los Angeles Times 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. “Long live George Martin . . . a literary dervish, enthralled by complicated characters and vivid language, and bursting with the wild vision of the very best tale tellers.”—The New York Times
