You can't keep the Championship title forever. Just ask Ali or Tyson. It may be sad, but its true, G. R. R. Martin has replaced Tolkien as the ruler of the fantasy world.After reading The Song of Ice and Fire, it was clear that this man knows how to write...He has put together the greatest series ever..yes (Gasp!) its much better than the Lord of the Rings...This series should be the next think Peter Jackson Considers...
Anyhow... This GIANT book (1280 pages) contains many of Martin's earlier works that are all but impossible to find since his earlier compilations are all out of print and one has to look for old Asimov and Analog Magazines on Ebay to find all these stories... Good Luck finding his other elusive work "Songs the Dead men sing" which runs for $200...Fortunatly, most of the stories from "dead men" have now found there way into this mammoth tome...
What makes this Book great is that it has works for all types of fans... there is Sci-Fi, Fantasy, suspense, Comedy, Satire and just pages and pages of brilliant stories and novellas....All with GRRM's sad and yet beautiful themes as only he can do...
Never has a book made me Cry in one story and then have my heart racing in fear in the next...Joy, sorrow and intrigue on every page...so much so that it leaves the reader wondering how one man could produce such magic...
Buy this book... it may cost a fortune but i assure you the vast treasures inside are worth the price...
Editorial Review:
Over 400,000 words. More than 1,200 pages, including nine novellas, unpublished teleplays, rare, never before collected short stories, and a small volume's worth of introductions and commentary. Each of the more than 30 stories features a full-page black and white illustration commissioned especially for this volume by Tim Truman, Mark A. Nelson, Janet Aulisio, Ron Brown and other fine artists.
