A Game of Thrones is the first book of the Game of Thrones book series. Five books of the series have been released. Two of them are planned in a couple of years. Overall the books have sold over 15 million copies. The books have also been filmatised into the series called Game of Thrones.
The history takes place in a world which is inspired by the Medieval time. Relative to our world the summer and winter isn't seasonal. But can last for years. Plus it exists magic and supernatural creatures.
Most of the action finds place on the continent Westeros. Many hundred years ago Westeros consisted of seven independent kingdoms which is now united under one throne, being controlled from the capital King's Landing. 
After King Robert Baratheons dead, the country is thrown into a civil war. Where three thronpredents reclaim the throne. Robert's 13 years old son Joffrey is supported by his family Lannister. but the dead king's brothers claims they have more right to the throne than him. 
Meanwhile two of the throne's, Robb Stark from the north and Balon Greyjoy from The iron Islands, to war to ensure their kingdoms independence. The warfare between the parts is being held on the battlefield, but equally important is the game of power between the parties where alliances are formed. 
 This book have really excited me. Good descriptions, great environments and i love the people I get to know there. The only thing that's stupid with book is that the names may be confusing. 
Overall I give it dice five because of how great the book is. George Martin have made a great book. I look forward to start on his next book. I have also watched all the seasons of the TV series Game of Thrones.
