Vast legions of gods, mages, humans, dragons and all manner of creatures play out the fate of the Malazan Empire in this first book in a major epic fantasy series from Steven Erikson. The Malazan Empire simmers with discontent, bled dry by interminable warfare, bitter infighting and bloody confrontations with the formidable Anomander Rake and his Tiste Andii, ancient and implacable sorcerers. 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. For Sergeant Whiskeyjack and his squad of Bridgeburners, and for Tattersail, surviving cadre mage of the Second Legion, the aftermath of the siege of Pale should have been a time to mourn the many dead. But Darujhistan, last of the Free Cities of Genabackis, yet holds out. It is to this ancient citadel that Laseen turns her predatory gaze. However, it would appear that the Empire is not alone in this great game. Sinister, shadowbound forces are gathering as the gods themselves prepare to play their hand... Conceived and written on a panoramic scale, Gardens of the Moon is epic fantasy of the highest order—an enthralling adventure by an outstanding new voice. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

in This Sprawling Fantasy Epic Of The Malazan Empire At War With Its Enemies And Itself, The First Of A Projected 10-volume Series, Canadian Newcomer Erikson Offers Many Larger-than-life Scenes And Ideas, But His Characters Seem To Shrink To Fit The Story. Perhaps They Need To Stay Small Enough For The Reader To Keep Them All In Mind. Jumping Often Between Plot Lines, The Novel Follows Ganoes Stabro Paran From His Boyhood Dreaming Of Soldiers To His Escape From Imperial Service. Paran Travels On Journeys Of Body And Soul, Going From Innocent To Hardened Rebel Against Gods And Empire Without Losing His Moral Core. Other Characters May Go Further, To Death And Back Even, But None Is As Sharply Portrayed. The Book Features A Plethora Of Princes And Paupers, Powers And Principalities, With Much Inventive Detail To Dazzle And Impart A Patina Of Mystery And Ages Past. The Fast-moving Plot, With Sieges, Duels (of Sword And Of Spell), Rebellions, Intrigue And Revenge, Unearthed Monsters And Earth-striding Gods, Doesn't Leave Much Room For Real Depth. Heroes Win, Villains Lose, Fairness Reigns, Tragedy Is Averted. Erikson May Aspire To China Mi Ville Heights, But He Settles Comfortably In George R.r. Martin Country. Agent, Howard Morhaim.
