James Hibberd

Game of Thrones and the official untold story of the epic series

"The official, definitive oral history of the blockbuster show from Entertainment Weekly's James Hibberd, published with HBO's official support"--, Provided by publisher"For the first time, the full behind-the-scenes story of making the global sensation is being told by the writers, cast, and crew who were there. From the show's early development meetings to filming the series finale, Entertainment Weekly's James Hibberd had unprecedented access to the secretive inner workings of HBO's Emmy-winning hit. Fire Cannot Kill a Dragon reveals the uncensored and surprising stories of how a group of creatives-most of whom had never worked on a TV series before-took George R. R. Martin's "unfilmable" bestselling fantasy novels of war, family, power, sex, and dragons, and turned them into the biggest show in the world." -- Back cover
