Feast for Crows
A Feast for Crows is the highly anticipated
fourth book in George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire fantasy
series. Martin's original intent was to release A Dance with Dragons
as the fourth book in the series, the story picking up five years
after the end of A Storm of Swords. That plan proved infeasible,
in part due to a reliance on flashbacks. A Feast for Crows became
the fourth book, with A Dance with Dragons now projected to be fifth
in the series.

Various excerpts have been published, including a Cersei
chapter in the paperback edition of A Storm of Swords, a piece set
in the Iron Islands called "The Arms of the Kraken" in Dragon
magazine, and three Daenerys chapters published as a chapbook and
given away at BookExpo 2005.
The book has been completed (as of May 2005) but it
will contain only some of the viewpoint characters originally intended
for the volume. Martin has explained that the book was becoming too
long, and could not be published as a single volume. He decided to
place the complete story arcs for only some of the characters in this
book, and move the remaining plotlines to A Dance with Dragons, which
is now half-completed.
As of August 2005, the publication date for this novel
is October 17th, 2005 (U.K.) and November 8th, 2005 (U.S.). The author
will make appearances in November to promote the release.
