A Game of Groans

An amusing and irreverent romp through the world of George R. R. Martin, drawing on a multiplicity of pop culture references to create the definitive parody of this publishing phenomenon. A Game of Groans has its own plot and pace, but pokes fun at the writing style, narrative, characters and language of George R. R. Martin's books in a laugh-out-loud yet affectionate way. It's the perfect gift for fans of Martin's smash hit series. In a world where seasons can last decades and comparisons to Tolkien a lifetime, trouble is brewing. The warmth is returning, and in the thawing tundra to the North of Summerseve, something wicked is coming this way. At the center of the conflict squat the Barkers of Summerseve, a family unit as hard and unforgiving as the pronunciation of 'Daenerys Targaryen'. Swooping from this land of sweater weather to a balmy kingdom of equestrian delights and outdoor fornication, here is an epic of novella proportions. Amid plots and counterplots, wizards and warriors, poor reception and no wireless, the future of the Barks, their BFFs, and their enemies dangles in the balance, as each strives to star in that funniest of concepts: a parody of George R. R. Martin's A Game of Thrones.
