El juego forma parte fundamental de los seres humanos. Y su reverso oscuro, la guerra, también. Como el gran fabulador que es, George R. R. Martin no ignora el hecho de que vivimos atrapados entre las risas de un partido amistoso y los gritos de la batalla, pues en gran medida así construyó su aclamada saga Canción de Hielo y Fuego. Pero Martin no sólo se ha ocupado de narrar la lucha por el poder de los Siete Reinos, sino que, como talentoso estratega de ajedrez y gran aficionado al futbol americano, también ha expuesto la lucha voraz, el espíritu bélico y la sed de revancha que existen en los juegos y los deportes. Es así como surge Y la muerte, su legado, un inusual y sorprendente volumen de relatos que entrevé la ciencia ficción especulativa y la fantasía, y donde cada historia es un juego con reglas propias. Competencias, batallas, todos los personajes aquí convocados ponen a prueba sus habilidades y se valen de su astucia o malicia para triunfar incluso a costa de sus contrincantes.

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.
