About this listen

HBO’s hit series A GAME OF THRONES is based on George R. R. Martin’s internationally bestselling series A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE, the greatest fantasy epic of the modern age. A CLASH OF KINGS is the second volume in the series.

Throughout Westeros, the cold winds are rising.

From the ancient citadel of Dragonstone to the forbidding lands of Winterfell, chaos reigns as pretenders to the Iron Throne of the Seven Kingdoms stake their claims through tempest, turmoil and war.

As a prophecy of doom cuts across the sky – a comet the colour of blood and flame – five factions struggle for control of a divided land. Brother plots against brother and the dead rise to walk in the night.

Against a backdrop of incest, fratricide, alchemy and murder, the price of glory is measured in blood.

Editor reviews

One of the most read fantasy series in the world, A Song of Ice and Fire, is here in Book 2, A Clash of Kings, written by legendary author George R. R. Martin and in an unabridged audiobook narrated by veteran British actor Roy Dotrice. This phenomenal series has been the inspiration behind the colossal HBO TV series Game of Thrones. The Seven Kingdoms lie in ruin. King Robert is dead and the boy-king rules as a tyrant. Talk of an immense war is seeping throughout the lands. Available now from Audible.

Critic reviews

"A Game of Thrones grabs hold and won’t let go. It’s brilliant." (Robert Jordan)

"I read my eyes out. I couldn’t stop until I’d finished and it was dawn." (Anne McCaffrey)

"Colossal, staggering... Martin captures all the intoxicating complexity of the Wars of the Roses or Imperial Rome in his imaginary world...one of the greats of fantasy literature." ( SFX)

Most relevant

I have been surprised by how wildly different the books are to the TV show, which is sort of brilliant in a way because it's like losing yourself in another equally compelling timeline of Westeros! (Only trouble is not confusing one with the other...) The way the narrative is broken up by different character paths is a brilliant way to keep your focus and interest, so if there's one narrative you're not completely invested in at this point in the tale, stick around because your favourite is sure to pick up just a few chapters later. (I always looked forward to the installments of Tyrion, Sansa, Arya and Catelyn, particularly.)
Roy Dotrice does a brilliant job of discerning each character from the next in this installment - and my particular favourite interpretation of his has to be Dolorous Edd: he captures him uniquely and perfectly, eh. It's a long and enthralling listen, and the best way for me to experience the books as I know reading them would simply take me too long! (As soon as this finished I purchased the next, and was undaunted by its 42 hour length because I've become addicted to my daily fix of 3 or so chapters.)
