He began to publish work of genre interest with "The Hero" in <a href="/entry/galaxy">Galaxy</a> for February 1971, and his success was thereafter rapid. "A Song for Lya" (June 1974 <a href="/entry/analog">Analog</a>), a novella about a human convert to an alien <a href="/entry/religion">Religion</a> whose <a href="/entry/eschatology">Eschatology</a> is based in <a href="/entry/biology">Biology</a>, won the first of his four <a href="/entry/hugo">Hugos</a> to date; three others followed for "Sandkings" (August 1979 <a href="/entry/omni">Omni</a>), which also won a <a href="/entry/nebula">Nebula</a>, "The Way of Cross and Dragon" (June 1979 <a href="/entry/omni">Omni</a>) and "Blood of the Dragon" (July 1996 <a href="/entry/asimovs">Asimov's</a>). He won a second Nebula in 1986 for "Portraits of his Children" (November 1985 <a href="/entry/asimovs">Asimov's</a>), and a Bram Stoker <a href="/entry/awards">Award</a> for <i>The Pear-Shaped Man</i> (October 1987 <a href="/entry/omni">Omni</a>; <b>1991</b> chap). Other notable early stories include a short series about an unusual form of interstellar <a href="/entry/transportation">Transportation</a> begun with "The Second Kind of Loneliness" (December 1972 <a href="/entry/analog">Analog</a>), and another begun with "Override" (September 1973 <a href="/entry/analog">Analog</a>), about the commercial exploitation of <a href="/entry/zombies">Zombies</a>. Perhaps because of his training as a journalist and his employment in the mid-1970s as a teacher of journalism, Martin in his period as sf author seemed most comfortable with stories which are fast-paced and economical. "Nightflyers" (April 1980 <a href="/entry/analog">Analog</a>), a <a href="/entry/horror_in_sf">Horror in SF</a> story set aboard a spaceship and involving a <a href="/entry/computers">Computer</a> impressed with human <a href="/entry/psi_powers">Psi Powers</a>, is another outstanding novella, very unevenly filmed as <i>Nightflyers</i> (<i>1987</i>).</p> <p>His first solo (and most significant sf) novel, <i>Dying of the Light</i> (April-July 1977 <a href="/entry/analog">Analog</a> as "After the Festival"; <b>1977</b>), is a vivid <a href="/entry/planetary_romance">Planetary Romance</a> set on a drifting planet which, while passing close by a sun, has been the site of a huge festival; some short stories are set in the same universe. <i>Windhaven</i> (May 1975 <a href="/entry/analog">Analog</a> as "The Storms of Windhaven"; exp <b>1981</b>) with Lisa <a href="/entry/tuttle_lisa">Tuttle</a>, also a <a href="/entry/planetary_romance">Planetary Romance</a>, is set on a lost colony planet that has reverted to feudalism; <a href="/entry/communications">Communication</a> between <a href="/entry/islands">Islands</a> in a forever stormy sea depends on solo <a href="/entry/flying">Flying</a> with artificial wings or glider rigs. <i>Fevre Dream</i> (<b>1982</b>) is a tale of <a href="/entry/vampires">Vampires</a> and Mississippi steamboats whose realistic treatment owes as much to sf as to supernatural fiction. <i>The Armageddon Rag</i> (<b>1983</b>) is a thriller in which the kind of outcome imagined in Norman <a href="/entry/spinrad_norman">Spinrad</a>'s "The Big Flash" (in <i>Orbit 5</i>, anth <b>1969</b>, ed Damon <a href="/entry/knight_damon">Knight</a>) – an apocalypse triggered by ritual murder – is aborted in the nick of time. His most substantial sf project is the series collected in <i>Tuf Voyaging</i> (coll of linked stories <b>1986</b>), about the problem-solving exploits of an ecological engineer whose "seedship" – a vast <a href="/entry/starship">Starship</a> containing a multi-species cell library plus extensive <a href="/entry/clones">Cloning</a> and <a href="/entry/genetic_engineering">Genetic Engineering</a> facilities – is a relic of the bygone <a href="/entry/galactic_empires">Galactic Empire</a>.</p> <p>In the late 1980s Martin moved into television, first writing for the new <i>The</i> <a href="/entry/twilight_zone_the">Twilight Zone</a> series (1985-1987) and then becoming heavily involved with the development of <a href="/entry/beauty_and_the_beast">Beauty and the Beast</a>. In parallel with these enterprises he launched <a href="/entry/wild_cards">Wild Cards</a>, a set of <a href="/entry/braid">Braided</a> tales placed in an <a href="/entry/alternate_history">Alternate History</a> – though the premise of the <b>Wild Cards</b> sequence is rather more sophisticated than most such in <a href="/entry/comics">Comics</a> – starring <a href="/entry/superheroes">Superheroes</a>; the possibility of trademark infringement forced the substitution of the term "Ace" for "Superhero". This <a href="/entry/shared_worlds">Shared-World</a> anthology series (Martin prefers the label "mosaic novels", on the grounds that individual volumes are more coherently organized than in most such anthologies) currently (2010) extends to at least eighteen volumes, beginning with <i>Wild Cards: A Mosaic Novel</i> (anth <b>1986</b>; vt <i>Wildcards</i> <b>1987</b>). Martin earlier edited the notable <a href="/entry/new_voices">New Voices</a> series of <a href="/entry/anthologies">Anthologies</a> of novellas by the nominees for the <a href="/entry/john_w_campbell_award">John W Campbell Award</a> for Best New Writer (of which he was himself one), beginning <i>New Voices in Science Fiction</i> (anth <b>1977</b>; vt <i>New Voices I: The Campbell Award Nominees</i> <b>1978</b>), <i>New Voices II</i> (anth <b>1979</b>), <i>New Voices III</i> (anth <b>1980</b>), <i>New Voices 4</i> (anth <b>1981</b>) and <i>The John W. Campbell Awards Volume 5</i> (anth <b>1984</b>). He edited several <a href="/entry/original_anthologies">Original Anthologies</a> with Gardner <a href="/entry/dozois_gardner">Dozois</a> [whom see for details].</p> <p>Martin's most ambitious project may be his most recent, the intense and extensive <b>Song of Ice and Fire</b> sequence of <a href="/entry/fantasy">Fantasy</a> novels set in a taxing Secondary World [see <i>The</i> <a href="/entry/encyclopedia_of_fantasy_the">Encyclopedia of Fantasy</a> under <b>links</b> below], and comprising to date <i>A Game of Thrones</i> (<b>1996</b>), <i>A Clash of Kings</i> (<b>1998</b>), <i>A Storm of Swords</i> (<b>2000</b>), <i>A Feast for Crows: Book Four of A Song of Ice and Fire</i> (<b>2005</b>) and <i>A Dance with Dragons</i> (<b>2011</b>) [for further details see Checklist below]. Though the sequence is essentially fantasy-based, Martin has set his harrowing dynasty drama on a planet more specifically described than in most fantasy epics, with clear links to the <a href="/entry/planetary_romance">Planetary Romance</a>; the ten-year winter which afflicts the huge cast inexplicitly (but unmistakably) evokes a solar system understandable in terms of <a href="/entry/physics">Physics</a> (see <a href="/entry/great_year">Great Year</a>). <b>Song of Ice and Fire</b>, originally designed to occupy four sizeable volumes, has expanded enormously, without any slackening of tension, though the narrative has slowed; the extremely successful <a href="/entry/television">Television</a> adaptation, <i>Game of Thrones</i> (<i>2011-2019</i>), in fact extended into narrative continuations not yet represented by Martin himself in his yet-unpublished climactic volume(s).</p> <p>Martin is a vigorous storyteller with a flair for vivid imagery. All of his collections – <i>A Song for Lya and Other Stories</i> (coll <b>1977</b>; vt <i>A Song for Lya</i> <b>1978</b>), <i>Songs of Stars and Shadows</i> (coll <b>1977</b>), <i>Sandkings</i> (coll <b>1981</b>), <i>Songs the Dead Men Sing</i> (coll <b>1983</b>; cut <b>1985</b>), <i>Nightflyers</i> (coll <b>1985</b>), <i>Portraits of His Children</i> (coll <b>1987</b>) and <i>Quartet: Four Tales from the Crossroads</i> (coll <b>2001</b>) – contain striking work. His own output declined for some time, during his years of concentrated editorial work, but new stories continue to appear. Everything he writes conveys a sense – not entirely common – of great energy fully under control. He is a 2012 recipient of the <a href="/entry/world_fantasy_award">World Fantasy Award</a> for life achievement.
