Author of the Week
George R. R. Martin writes fantasy and science fiction novels, most notably his Song of Ice and Fire series. Evolving, dark, and compelling medieval-tinged worlds are a backdrop for characters driven by relentless love, honor, greed, power, devotion, and revenge. Martin brings unflinching realism to his plotting: beloved characters are as likely to die sudden, accidental deaths as to fall in long-foreshadowed battle. Intrigue, nobility, and betrayal are recurrent themes played out in fantastic guise. Despite some novels' somber tone and sheer length, his simple language, rapid-fire action, and brilliant plots reward prolonged attention. Start with: A Game of Thrones.
