Пламя и кровь. Пляска смерти
Тирион Ланнистер еще не стал заложником жестокого рока, Бран Старк еще не сделался калекой, а голова его отца Неда Старка еще не скатилась с эшафота. Ни один человек в Королевствах не смеет даже предположить, что Дейенерис Таргариен когда-нибудь назовут Матерью Драконов. Вестерос не привел к покорности соседние государства, и Железный Трон, который, согласно поговорке, ковался в крови и пламени, далеко еще не насытился. Древняя, как сам мир, история сходит со страниц ветхих манускриптов, и только мы, септоны, можем отделить правдивые события от жалких басен, и истину от клеветнических наветов.
Присядьте же поближе к огню, добрые слушатели, и вы узнаете:
– как Королевская Гавань стала столицей столиц,
– как свершались славные подвиги, неподвластные воображению, – и как братья и сестры, отцы и матери теряли разум в кровавой борьбе за власть,
– как драконье племя постепенно уступало место драконам в человеческом обличье,
– а также и многие другие были и старины – смешные и невыразимо ужасные, бряцающие железом доспехов и играющие на песельных дудках, наполняющее наши сердца гордостью и печалью…

He also directed chess tournaments for the Continental Chess Association from 1973-1976, and was a Journalism instructor at Clarke College, Dubuque, Iowa, from 1976-1978. He wrote part-time throughout the 1970s while working as a VISTA Volunteer, chess director, and teacher.
In 1975 he married Gale Burnick. They divorced in 1979, with no children. Martin became a full-time writer in 1979. He was writer-in-residence at Clarke College from 1978-79.
Moving on to Hollywood, Martin signed on as a story editor for Twilight Zone at CBS Television in 1986. In 1987 Martin became an Executive Story Consultant for Beauty and the Beast at CBS. In 1988 he became a Producer for Beauty and the Beast, then in 1989 moved up to Co-Supervising Producer. He was Executive Producer for Doorways, a pilot which he wrote for Columbia Pictures Television, which was filmed during 1992-93.
