记忆送抵,我即前来,无论何时,无论何地。
为了一句誓言,他踏上这颗即将迈入永夜的孤寂行星,去追寻他已经逝去的爱情,和已经离别的爱人。
在纷繁银河里,人类开枝散叶,心灵的羁绊却一如从前。铁与血,银与玉。臂环上的契约像锁链锁住他心爱的女孩,但她却声称是心甘情愿投入其间。奇特的异星风俗背后掩藏着贪婪与奉献、真诚与谎言、怯懦与荣耀……
阳光将在这颗行星上逝去,爱,会留下来吗?
这部小说是幻想文学大师乔治·马丁的成名作,也是浪漫太空歌剧的经典之一。曾入选雨果奖和英伦科幻奖。

名字代表什么?我们所称的玫瑰换个名字还是一样芳香(•‿•) 我在思考一个问题,和国内网文比,国外科幻/奇幻畅销小说不怎么考虑主角爽度,不知道是爽点不一样还是国外读者不在意这些。

GAME OF THRONES: A NEW ORIGINAL SERIES, NOW ON HBO.
Dubbed “the American Tolkien” by Time magazine, George R. R. Martin has earned international acclaim for his monumental cycle of epic fantasy. Now the #1 New York Times bestselling author delivers the fifth book in his landmark series—as both familiar faces and surprising new forces vie for a foothold in a fragmented empire.
A DANCE WITH DRAGONS
A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE: BOOK FIVE
In the aftermath of a colossal battle, the future of the Seven Kingdoms hangs in the balance—beset by newly emerging threats from every direction. In the east, Daenerys Targaryen, the last scion of House Targaryen, rules with her three dragons as queen of a city built on dust and death. But Daenerys has thousands of enemies, and many have set out to find her. As they gather, one young man embarks upon his own quest for the queen, with an entirely different goal in mind.
Fleeing from Westeros with a price on his head, Tyrion Lannister, too, is making his way to Daenerys. But his newest allies in this quest are not the rag-tag band they seem, and at their heart lies one who could undo Daenerys’s claim to Westeros forever.
Meanwhile, to the north lies the mammoth Wall of ice and stone—a structure only as strong as those guarding it. There, Jon Snow, 998th Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch, will face his greatest challenge. For he has powerful foes not only within the Watch but also beyond, in the land of the creatures of ice.
From all corners, bitter conflicts reignite, intimate betrayals are perpetrated, and a grand cast of outlaws and priests, soldiers and skinchangers, nobles and slaves, will face seemingly insurmountable obstacles. Some will fail, others will grow in the strength of darkness. But in a time of rising restlessness, the tides of destiny and politics will lead inevitably to the greatest dance of all.

各种盗版基本和正式出版同时发布,真是凶残。当然这么好的书,等中文版出来还是要继续收的。

如事先所知,第五部的时间轴和第四部是平行的,只是POV不同,所以情节上没有太多进展。我的感觉,第五部还和第四部一样,处于蓄势阶段,更关注于人物的成长,囧恩的司令官生涯,龙女的治理城市,对他们来说都是全新人生角色转换,描写得很细致。

至于马丁是否能把这些蓄势在第六部中转化成高潮,还是烂尾,就没法预测了。

最后不剧透的说一句,龙女在第五部里的烂桃花真多啊...

Tuf Voyaging
7.4 (13 个评分) 作者: [美国] 乔治·R·R·马丁 译者: 朱佳文 四川科学技术出版社 2010 - 5
作为一个星际行商,哈维兰·图夫并不善于经商,但是却颇具好运,机缘巧合之下,这位爱猫的白胖宅男得到了一艘古老的飞船。
用“飞船”来形容“方舟号”实属不敬,因为这艘古老的“旧银河联邦帝国生态工程军团播种舰”是一件不折不扣的终极毁灭武器,它拥有来自数百个世界的数百万种生物细胞,从病毒到霸王龙、从吸血鬼到异形——一应俱全。
它为宅男图夫提供的第一次服务,使用了克隆和时间翘曲——所用能量足以摧毁一颗恒星——只是为了克隆一只宠物猫。
一件终极毁灭武器落到狂人手里可谓灾难,可是落到宅男手里会如何呢?
图夫和他的“方舟”号走过了群星的每一个角落,在身后留下了一串串幽默诙谐又引人深思的故事。
