Mientras los vientos del otoño desnudan los árboles, las últimas cosechas se pudren en los pocos campos que no han sido devastados por la guerra, y por los ríos teñidos de rojo bajan cadáveres de todos los blasones y estirpes. Y aunque casi todo Poniente yace extenuado, en diversos rincones florecen nuevas e inquietantes intrigas que ansían nutrirse de los despojos de un reino moribundo. George R.R. Martin continúa sumando hordas de seguidores incondicionales mientras desgrana, con pulso firme y certero, una de las experiencias literarias más ambiciosas y apasionantes que se hayan propuesto nunca en el terreno de la fantasía. Festín de cuervos, como la calma que precede a la tempestad, desarrolla nuevos personajes y tramas de un retablo tenso y sobrecogedor.
Author
George Raymond Richard "R.R." Martin, born on September 20, 1948, in Bayonne, New Jersey, is a distinguished fantasy and science fiction writer. Son to Raymond Collins Martin, a longshoreman, and Margaret Brady Martin, he grew up with two sisters, Darleen Martin Lapinski and Janet Martin Patten. Martin's passion for writing emerged early, selling monster stories to neighborhood kids, which later evolved into a keen interest in comic books during his high school years, where he also started writing fiction for comic fanzines. His first professional story, The Hero, was sold in 1970 at age 21 and published in Galaxy's February 1971 issue. After earning a B.S. and then a M.S. in Journalism from Northwestern University, Martin served as a conscientious objector with VISTA, tied to the Cook County Legal Assistance Foundation from 1972-1974, alongside directing chess tournaments and teaching journalism. His marriage to Gale Burnick in 1975 ended in divorce by 1979 without children. Martin transitioned to full-time writing in 1979, after a stint as writer-in-residence at Clarke College. In Hollywood, Martin contributed to Twilight Zone and Beauty and the Beast on CBS, later producing his own pilot, Doorways. Residing in Santa Fe, New Mexico, he's been actively involved with the Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America and the Writers' Guild of America, West.
