  I listened to the Roy Dotrice version of the first 3 GoT books about 4 years ago, before the HBO series had made George RR Martin's works a staple of popular culture. Highly recommended. There was a different narrator for the 4th novel in the series, but Roy returned for the 5th novel. I wonder if the saga shall ever be completed?

  If you like large scale fantasy works with multiple viewpoint characters have a look at the Malazan books by Steven Erikson and Ian Esselmont. All of Erikson's novels have been 'audiobooked' but the productions seem to be have to find.

    Going by your name you sound like you come from Westeros! Roy Avers read the fourth, bit bland after Dotrice, however there is a copy of the 4th read by Dotrice 'due to popular demand'. If anyone would like to sample the difference - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJSwfseolxE

      I didn't know about the Dotrice version of "A Feast for Crows".

      (Thaal Sinestro is actually a villain from DC, but he is very much larger than life, and without his yellow power ring would be a fitting Lannister ally/minion).

      For people listening to the audiobooks, make sure you download a map, such as:

      OR

      There is even a book full of Westeros maps available for purchase, just like there was for Middle Earth in Lord of the Rings.
