Having been a big fan of the wonderful TV series for a while now, I thought it was about time I tackled this massive series of books (no, literally - they are massive). A Game Of Thrones is the first book in the series known as 'A Song Of Ice and Fire' by fantasy author George R. R. Martin, and has been hailed as the next generation of epic fantasy literature. It is reminiscent of a lot of high fantasy classics in many ways, but also puts it's own solid stamp on the genre and leaves an impression that is not likely to fade away any time soon.
