As Crónicas de Gelo e Fogo #5
A Fúria dos Reis, Volume I de II
O terceiro volume de «As Crónicas de Gelo e Fogo», a melhor série de fantasia da actualidade! Quando um cometa vermelho surge nos céus de Westeros encontra os Sete Reinos em plena guerra civil. Os combates estendem-se pelas terras fluviais e os grandes exércitos dos Stark e dos Lannister preparam-se para o derradeiro embate.No seu domínio insular, Stannis, irmão do falecido Rei Robert, luta por construir um exército que suporte a sua reivindicação ao trono e alia-se a uma misteriosa religião vinda do oriente. Mas não é o único, pois o seu irmão mais novo também se proclama rei, suportado por uma hoste que reúne quase todas as forças do sul. Para pior as coisas, nas Ilhas de Ferro, os Greyjoy planeiam a vingança contra aqueles que os humilharam dez anos atrás.O Trono de Ferro é ocupado pelo caprichoso filho de Robert, Joffrey, mas quem de facto governa é a sua cruel e maquiavélica mãe. Com a afluência de refugiados e um fornecimento insuficiente de mantimentos, a cidade transformou-se num lugar perigoso, e a Corte aguarda com medo o momento em que os dois irmãos do falecido rei avancem contra ela. Mas quando finalmente o fazem, não é contra a cidade que investem...O que os Sete Reinos não sabem é que nada disto se compara ao derradeiro perigo que se avizinha: no distante Leste, os dragões crescem em poder, e não faltará muito para que cheguem com fogo e morte!

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.

EN: I am still in love with the way George R. R. Martin describes the fighting scenes, making me badly needing for more. In geral, this world is fantastically constructed, so as its characters.
For instance, I want to grab Bran and hold him since the very moment of the tower in the first book, and now with his nightmares, that feeling is getting worse and worse. My thoughts every time he appears remain the same: Protect him at all costs. But this is still Game of Thrones, and every character has to suffer, so there aren't much to do about it, which is, at the same time, frustrating and captivating.

PT: Ainda apaixonada pela maneira como George R. R. Martin descreve as cenas de luta e batalha, fazendo com que eu fique desesperada por mais. Em geral, este mundo está construído de um modo fantástico, assim como as suas personagens.
Por exemplo, eu quero agarrar em Bran e segurá-lo desde o momento da torre no primeiro livro. E agora com os seus pesadelos esse sentimento só ficou pior. Os meus pensamentos cada vez que ele aparece permanecem os mesmos: Protegê-lo a todo o custo. Mas isto ainda é a Guerra dos Tronos, e cada personagem tem de sofrer, portanto não há muito a fazer relativamente a esse facto, o que é, ao mesmo tempo, frustrante e cativante.
