出版社在《射雕英雄传》的宣传简介中称之为“中国版《权力的游戏》”。
The first volume has been translated by Anna Holmwood, an English publishing agent who has cooperated with many famous Chinese writers, such as Yu Hua, Liu Zhenyun, and Yan Ge.
第一卷的译者是英国出版经纪人郝玉青，她曾与余华、刘震云、颜歌等诸多知名中国作家有过合作。

Louis Cha is China's most influential martial arts author with a total of 15 novels in the genre. Since the 1950s, about 100 million copies of his works have been sold around the world.
金庸是中国最具影响力的武侠作家，共著有15部武侠小说。上世纪50年代以来，金庸作品在全球的销量超过1亿册。
However, only three of Cha's works have been translated for the English-speaking world. They are "Fox Volant of the Snowy Mountain," "The Deer and the Cauldron," and "The Book and the Sword," all translated by Graham Earnshaw.
