The main plot of Roadmarks is built around time travel. Indeed, each exit of this highway leads to different moments and stories. And even to alternative futures. It is for some a simple highway of exploration. But for others, it is the only way to correct their mistake. By the way, she was created by the dragons of Bel’kwinith. However, a huge mystery hangs around these dragons, as no one knows who they are, or even why they created the highway.
Science fiction is far from an unknown genre for George RR Martin, since he wrote many sci-fi novels himself. Additionally, George RR Martin began his television career adapting Last Defender of Camelot the Roger Zelazny, and 1985.
