Reaper's Gale (Malazan Book 7)

release date: May 13, 2008
Reaper's Gale (Malazan Book 7)
A truly epic fantasy series that has confirmed its author as one of the most original and exciting genre storytellers in years. Erikson’s ‘Malazan Book of the Fallen’ has been recognised the world-over by writers, critics and fans alike — in a recent review of The Bonehunters, the sixth chapter in this remarkable tale, the UK’s Interzone magazine hailed it ‘a masterpiece’ and ‘the benchmark for all future works in the field’, while the hugely influential genre website, Ottawa-based SF Site, declared ‘this series has clearly established itself as the most significant work of epic fantasy since Donaldson’s Chronicles of Thomas Covenant’. Now comes Reaper’s Gale — the seventh Tale of the Malazan Book of the Fallen — and neither Erikson nor the excitement are showing any sign of letting up. Mauled and now cut adrift by the Malazan Empire, Tavore and her now infamous 14th army have landed on the coast of a strange, unknown continent and find themselves facing an even more dangerous enemy: the Tiste Edur, a nightmarish empire pledged to serve the Crippled God… A brutal, harrowing novel of war, intrigue and dark, uncontrollable magic, this is fantasy at its most imaginative and storytelling at its most thrilling.

Midnight Tides

Midnight Tides
After decades of warfare, the tribes of the Tiste Edur have at last united under the rule of the Warlock King. But peace has been exacted at a terrible price - a pact made with a hidden power whose motives are at best suspect, at worst deadly. To the south, the expansionist kingdom of Lether has devoured all of its less-civilised neighbours with rapacious hunger. All save one - the Tiste Edur. But Lether is approaching a long-prophesied renaissance that it will take it from a kingdom and lost colony to an empire reborn - and has fixed its gaze on the rich lands of the Tiste Edur. It would seem inevitable that the tribes will surrender, succumbing to the suffocating weight of gold, or to slaughter at the edge of a sword. Or so Destiny has decreed. A pivotal treaty between the two sides nears, but unknown ancient forces are awakening. For the impending struggle between these two peoples is but a pale reflection of an altogether more profound, primal battle - a confrontation driven by a still-raw betrayal and a craving for vengeance. War and confrontation, magic and myth collide in this, the stunning fifth chapter in Steven Erikson''s magnificent The Malazan Book of the Fallen - a series hailed as an epic of the imagination and a classic work of high fantasy.

Legacies of Betrayal: The Third Tale of Witness
Endless training, gruelling marches, and the frenzy of battle against more enemies than can be counted - such is the life of a marine in the Malazan Empire. Year by year, month by month, week by week, day by day, moment by moment. Skills are honed to deadly precision, the secret language of the soldier in a world drowning in perpetual discontent, the eternal conflict against the fates. And we should forget the seemingly inevitable interference of mischievous gods and more often than not, the resurrected remains of ancient and once believed long-dead entities. As a new holy war starts sparked in the fire-blackened cauldron of Seven Cities, the Fifth and Sixth squads are about to embark a mission they don''t want for a cause they don''t care about. Not that anybody asked their opinion. They can only hope that their objective isn''t as hopeless as it seems, and that they aren''t simply being used as pawns - a strategic sacrifice, if you will, in the machinations of their betters. So what''s life like as a marine in the Malazan Army? Well, let''s see, shall we . . .

No Life Forsaken

No Life Forsaken
Among the ashes of a failed rebellion in Seven Cities, new embers are flaring to life... There are furrowed brows at the beleaguered Malazan Legion headquarters in G''danisban for it would appear that yet another bloody clash with the newly resurgent cult of the Apocalyptic is coming to a head. Fist Arenfall is eager to crush the uprising before it can ignite the entire subcontinent, but he has only a few dozen squads of marines at his disposal, and many of those have already been dispersed in a desperate bid to stamp out multiple brush-fires of dissent. Plus his soldiers are exhausted, worn down by the relentless grind of containing a simmering insurrection. So the last thing the Fist needs is the arrival - fresh from the capital and the Emperor''s side - of a new Adjunct. Now the man''s mission could well be to lend support to Arenfall''s efforts... or it may be to stick a knife in his back. ''Twas ever thus, of course. That a good and popular commander should inevitably be perceived as a threat to the Emperor - such is the generally fatal nature of imperial Malazan politics. And what of the gods? Well, as recent history has proved, their solution to any mortal mess is to make it even messier. In other words, it''s just another tumultuous day in the chequered history of the Malazan Empire.

From the bestselling author of the epic Malazan Book of the Fallen, comes a story of mankind''s first contact and a warning about our future.
