David Buchanan, miembro de uno de los grupos de presión más influyentes de Washington, emplea métodos sucios para financiar causas tan honorables como la cooperación internacional o la protección del medio ambiente. Robert Thornhill, un alto cargo de la CIA, descubre el juego y empieza a chantajear a Buchanan. También él lucha por lo que conside­ra una causa justa: devolver a la CIA el prestigio que tuvo en otro tiempo. La situación se ha vuelto insos­tenible desde que el FBI controla cada una de sus ac­ciones. Una tercera persona implicada opina que el asunto ha ido demasiado lejos. Faith Lockhart, mano derecha de Buchanan, se niega a que prosperen los sueños megalómanos de Thornhill y decide confesar­lo todo al FBI. A partir de ese momento, su vida tiene un precio.

A STORM OF SWORDS Of the five contenders for power, one is dead, another in disfavor, and still the wars rage as violently as ever, as alliances are made and broken. Joffrey, of House Lannister, sits on the Iron Throne, the uneasy ruler of the land of the Seven Kingdoms. His most bitter rival, Lord Stannis, stands defeated and disgraced, the victim of the jealous sorceress who holds him in her evil thrall. But young Robb, of House Stark, still rules the North from the fortress of Riverrun. Robb plots against his despised Lannister enemies, even as they hold his sister hostage at King's Landing, the seat of the Iron Throne. Meanwhile, making her way across a blood-drenched continent is the exiled queen, Daenerys, mistress of the only three dragons still left in the world. . . . But as opposing forces maneuver for the final titanic showdown, an army of barbaric wildlings arrives from the outermost line of civilization. In their vanguard is a horde of mythical Others--a supernatural army of the living dead whose animated corpses are unstoppable. As the future of the land hangs in the balance, no one will rest until the Seven Kingdoms have exploded in a veritable storm of swords. . . .
