Tras interminables guerras, amargas luchas internas y sangrientas confrontaciones, incluso las tropas imperiales necesitan un descanso. Pero la obsesi n expansionista de la emperatriz Lassen no tiene l mites, y cuenta con el apoyo de sus sanguinarios agentes de la Garra. Tras el ltimo asedio, el sargento Whiskeyjack y su pelot n de Abrasapuentes necesitan tiempo para descansar y enterrar a sus muertos, pero Darujhistan, la ltima de las Ciudades Libres de Genabackis, los espera. Es el objetivo ltimo de la insaciable emperatriz. Y parece que el Imperio no es el nico que codicia esa plaza: fuerzas siniestras conspiran dentro y fuera de las sendas m gicas, y todo indica que los propios dioses se preparan para la batalla. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The Malazan Empire simmers with discontent, bled dry by warfare, bitter infighting and bloody confrontations. Even the imperial legions, long inured to the bloodshed, yearn for some respite. Yet Empress Laseen's rule remains absolute, enforced by her dread Claw assassins.

Before the Malazan Empire, there was a time that set the stage for all those tales yet to be told . Unconstrained, mysterious and savage, it begins to run loose and wild and following its scent, seeking the places of wounding and hurt ââ?¬â?? new and ancient entities gather. In a world becoming rotten with sorcery, can honour truly exist?

Razryvaemyj dlitelnymi vojnami kontinent Genabakis stal kolybelju dlja novoj krovozhadnoj imperii - Pannionskogo Domina.

V etom bezumnom vodovorote srazhenij, intrig i tajn malo kto znaet o prirode nastojaschej ugrozy. O tom, kogo nazyvajut Uvechnym bogom. O tom, kto nekogda byl vyzvan sjuda iz chuzhdogo, vrazhdebnogo mira, - i teper nachal sobstvennuju igru. Tretij roman iz velichestvennogo epicheskogo polotna "Malazanskoj Knigi Pavshikh" - vpervye na russkom!

From the New York Times Bestselling author Steven Erikson comes a new science fiction novel of devil-may-care, near calamitous and downright chaotic adventures through the infinite vastness of interstellar space. These are the voyages of the starship A.S.F. Willful Child. Its ongoing mission: to seek out strange new worlds on which to plant the Terran flag, to subjugate and if necessary obliterate new life-forms, to boldly blow the... And so we join the not-terribly-bright but exceedingly cock-sure Captain Hadrian Sawback and his motley crew on board the Starship Willful Child for a series of devil-may-care, near-calamitous and downright chaotic adventures through 'the infinite vastness of interstellar space.' The New York Times bestselling author of the acclaimed Malazan Book of the Fallen sequence has taken his lifelong passion for Star Trek and transformed it into a smart, inventive, and hugely entertaining spoof on the whole mankind-exploring-space-for-the-good-of-all-species-but-trashing-stuff-with-a-lot-of-high-tech-gadgets-along-the-way, overblown adventure. The result is an SF novel that deftly parodies the genre while also paying fond homage to it.

Presents the voyages of the starship, ASF Willful Child. Its ongoing mission: to seek out strange new worlds on which to plant the Terran flag.

Steven Erikson entered the pantheon of great fantasy writers with his debut Gardens of the Moon. Now Erikson returns with a trilogy that takes place millennia before the events of the Malazan Book of the Fallen. The Forge of Darkness introduces readers to Kurald Galain, the warren of Darkness, and tells an epic tale of a realm whose fate plays a crucial role in shaping the world of the Malazan Empire. It's a conflicted time in Kurald Galain, the realm of Darkness, where Mother Dark reigns. But this ancient land was once home to many a power... and even death is not quite eternal. The commoners' great hero, Vatha Urusander, is being promoted by his followers to take Mother Dark's hand in marriage, but her Consort, Lord Draconus, stands in the way of such ambitions. The impending clash sends fissures throughout the realm, and as the rumors of civil war burn through the masses, an ancient power emerges from the long dead seas. Caught in the middle of it all are the First Sons of Darkness, Anomander, Andarist, and Silchas Ruin of the Purake Hold. Steven Erikson brings to life this ancient and important tale set in the world he introduced in the Malazan Book of the Fallen.
