Rate this book
  在眾書迷千呼萬喚之下,奇幻大師喬治.馬汀大作冰與火之歌的最新續作《群鴉盛宴》終於面世了。作為這個系列作品的第四部,《群鴉盛宴》依舊繼承了冰與火之歌恢宏的結構與龐大的世界觀,卻具體將前三部曲中的疑點一一提出,不啻是這系列目前為止最為精采的一部!  在本書的一開始,塔斯的布琳正在尋找凱特琳夫人的女兒們,瑟曦太后變得喪心病狂,艾莉亞正在接受布拉佛西一位遮住臉的神祕怪客的訓練;以這三個人的故事為主軸,開展了一篇蕩氣迴腸的冒險之旅。當然,我們也可看到前三部曲中出現過的老面孔:瓊恩.雪諾、泰溫.蘭尼斯特、丹妮麗絲.坦格利安等露臉;雖短暫有如驚鴻一瞥,不過我們會在第五部曲時再見到他們。(第四部曲與第五部曲原是一書,但由於篇牘過於長大,作者不得已將它拆作二書。)

George Raymond Richard "R.R." Martin was born September 20, 1948, in Bayonne, New Jersey. His father was Raymond Collins Martin, a longshoreman, and his mother was Margaret Brady Martin. He has two sisters, Darleen Martin Lapinski and Janet Martin Patten.

Martin attended Mary Jane Donohoe School and Marist High School. He began writing very young, selling monster stories to other neighborhood children for pennies, dramatic readings included. Later he became a comic book fan and collector in high school, and began to write fiction for comic fanzines (amateur fan magazines). Martin's first professional sale was made in 1970 at age 21: The Hero, sold to Galaxy, published in February, 1971 issue. Other sales followed.

In 1970 Martin received a B.S. in Journalism from Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois, graduating summa cum laude. He went on to complete a M.S. in Journalism in 1971, also from Northwestern.

As a conscientious objector, Martin did alternative service 1972-1974 with VISTA, attached to Cook County Legal Assistance Foundation. 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.

Martin's present home is Santa Fe, New Mexico. He is a member of Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America (he was South-Central Regional Director 1977-1979, and Vice President 1996-1998), and of Writers' Guild of America, West.
