Publisher Description
NOW THE ACCLAIMED HBO SERIES GAME OF THRONES—THE MASTERPIECE THAT BECAME A CULTURAL PHENOMENON
Here is the first book in the landmark series that has redefined imaginative fiction and become a modern masterpiece.
A GAME OF THRONES
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. 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.
A GAME OF THRONES • A CLASH OF KINGS • A STORM OF SWORDS • A FEAST FOR CROWS • A DANCE WITH DRAGONS
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Renowned for its vast array of heroes, villains, and those who sit somewhere in between, Game of Thrones would be an insurmountable challenge for most narrators. But Tony Award–winning actor Roy Dotrice—who played Hallyne the Pyromancer in the smash hit TV adaptation—dives deep into his box of voice tricks to breathe life into the literally hundreds of characters who appear in the fantasy epic’s first volume. Even if you don’t yet know your Greyjoys from your Grey Worms, Dotrice’s masterful sense of pacing will immerse you in the treacherous complications of George R.R. Martin’s bloodthirsty world.
Customer Reviews
See AllFor the people complaining about the audio reader
The book is amazing, I sincerely implore you read it if you’ve watched the show. There’s a lot of complaints about the narrator, he’s really not that bad, he’s actually quite good. The only thing I would complain about is his certain pronunciation of words (I.e. Dothraki being pronounced as “doth-rack” sometimes) but honestly it’s not that hard to follow. The people being egregiously rude towards the narrator in these reviews aggravate me. You can preview the narration before you buy the book, if you didn’t like it in the preview, you shouldn’t have bought it.
Wonderful story, wonderful narrator.
Doesn’t play
I spent 35.00 on this and after 3 days, it still will not download or play. Wish I’d listened to the many reviews from others who had this problem.
Terrible narrator
The narrator uses the same voice for almost every character and does not provide an immersive experience
