Brand New Book. On the Letherii continent the exiled Malazan army commanded by Adjunct Tavore begins its march into the eastern Wastelands, to fight for an unknown cause against an enemy it has never seen. The fate awaiting the Bonehunters is one no soldier can prepare for, and one no mortal soul can withstand - the foe is uncertainty and the only weapon worth wielding is stubborn courage. In war everyone loses, and this brutal truth can be found in the eyes of every soldier in every world. Destinies are never simple. Truths are neither clear nor sharp. The Tales of the Malazan Book of the Fallen are drawing to a close in a distant place, beneath indifferent skies, as the last great army of the Malazan Empire seeks a final battle in the name of redemption. Final questions remain to be answered: can one s deeds be heroic when no one is there to see it? Can that which is unwitnessed forever change the world? The answers await the Bonehunters, beyond the Wastelands.

Der Anthropologe und Archäologe feierte 1999 mit dem ersten Band seines Zyklus "Das Spiel der Götter" nach einer sechsjährigen akribischen Vorbereitungsphase seinen weltweit beachteten Einstieg in die Liga der großen Fantasy-Autoren.Pressestimmen"Extraordinarily enjoyable . . . Erikson is a master of lost and forgotten epochs, a weaver of ancient epics."--Salon.com Erikson has no peer when it comes to action and imagination, and joins the ranks of Tolkien and Donaldson in his mythic vision and perhaps then goes one better.WerbetextThe penultimate book in one of the most original, exciting and acclaimed fantasy series of the new century. KlappentextIn war everyone loses. This brutal truth can be seen in the eyes of every soldier in every world...In Letherii, the exiled Malazan army commanded by Adjunct Tavore begins its march into the eastern Wastelands to fight for an unknown cause against an enemy it has never seen.And in these same Wastelands, others gather to confront their destinies. The warlike Barghast, thwarted in their vengeance against the Tiste Edur, seek new enemies beyond the border and Onos Toolan, once immortal T'lan Imass now mortal commander of the White Face clan, faces insurrection. To the south, the Perish Grey Helms parlay passage through the treacherous kingdom of Bolkando. Their intention is to rendezvous with the Bonehunters but their vow of allegiance to the Malazans will be sorely tested. And ancient enclaves of an Elder Race are in search of salvation - not among their own kind, but among humans - as an old enemy draws ever closer to the last surviving bastion of the K'Chain Che'Malle.So this last great army of the Malazan Empire is resolved to make one final defiant, heroic stand in the name of redemption. But can deeds be heroic when there is no one to witness them? And can that which is not witnessed forever change the world? Destinies are rarely simple, truths never clear but one certainty is that time is on no one's side. For the Deck of Dragons has been read, unleashing a power that none can comprehend...In a faraway land and beneath indifferent skies, the final chapter has begun to close on the awesome Tales of the Malazan Book of the Fallen.Leseprobe.

Swarms of lizards had invaded from the rivers shoreline. Discovering a plethora of strange insects, they began a feeding frenzy.Oddest among the arcane bugs was a species of two-headed beetle. Four lizards spied one such creature and closed in, surrounding it. The insect noted threats from two directions and made a careful half-turn, only to find two additional threats, whereupon it crouched down and played dead.This didnt work. One of the lizards, a wall-scampering breed with a broad mouth and gold-flecked eyes, lunged forward and gobbled up the insect.This scene was played out throughout the grounds, a terrible slaughter, a rush to extinction. The fates, this evening, did not appear kind to the two-headed beetles.Not all prey, however, was as helpless as it might initially seem. The role of the victim in nature is ephemeral, and that which is fed upon might in time feed upon the feeders in the eternal drama of survival.A lone owl, already engorged on lizards, was the sole witness to the sudden wave of writhing deaths on the rumpled earth below, as from the mouths of dying lizards, grotesque shapes emerged. The extinction of the two-headed beetles proved not as imminent a threat as it had seemed only moments earlier.But owls, being among the least clever of birds, are unmindful of such lessons. This one watched, wide-eyed and empty. Until it felt a strange stirring in its own gut, sufficient to distract it from the wretched dying below, that array of pale lizard bellies blotting the dark ground. It did not think of the lizards it had eaten. It did not take note, even in retrospect, of the sluggish efforts some of them had displayed at escaping its swooping talons.The owl was in for a long night of excruciating regurgitation. Dimwitted as it was, from that moment on and for ever more, lizards were off its menu.The world delivers its lessons in manners subtle or, if required, cruel and blunt, so that even the thickest of subjects will comprehend. Failing that, they die. For the smart ones, of course, incomprehension is inexcusable.______A night of heat in Letheras. Stone dripped sweat. The canals looked viscid, motionless, the surface strangely flattened and opaque with swirls of dust and rubbish. Insects danced over the water as if seeking their reflections, but this smooth patina yielded nothing, swallowing up the span of stars, devouring the lurid torchlight of the street patrols, and so the winged insects spun without surcease, as though crazed with fever.Beneath a bridge, on stepped banks buried in darkness, crickets crawled like droplets of oozing oil, glistening, turgid, haplessly crunched underfoot as two figures drew together and huddled in the gloom.He never wouldve went in, one of them said in a hoarse whisper. The water reeks, and look, no ripples, no nothing. Hes scarpered to the other side, somewhere in the night market where he can get lost fast.Lost, grunted the other, a woman, lifting up the dagger in one gloved hand and examining the edge, thats a good one. Like he could get lost. Like any of us could.You think he cant wrap himself up like we done?No time for that. He bolted. Hes on the run. Panicked.Looked like panic, didnt it, agreed her companion, and then he shook his head. Never seen anything so . . . disappointing.The woman sheathed her dagger. Theyll flush him out. Hell come back across, and we jump him then.Stupid, thinking he could get away.After a few moments, Smiles unsheathed her dagger again, peered at the edge.Beside her, Throatslitter rolled his eyes but said nothing.Bottle straightened, gestured for Koryk to join him, then watched, amused, as the broad-shouldered half-blood Seti shoved and elbowed his way through the crowd, leaving a wake of dark glares and bitten-off cursesthere was little risk of trouble, of course, since clearly the damned foreigner was looking for just that, and instincts being what they were the world over, no one was of a mind to take on Koryk.Too bad. Itd be a thing worth seeing, Bottle smiled to himself, if a mob of irate Letherii shoppers descended on the glowering barbarian, pummelling him into the ground with loaves of crusty bread and bulbous root-crops.Then again, such distractions wouldnt do. Not right now, anyway, when theyd found their quarry, with Tarr and Corabb moving round back of the tavern to cover the alley bolt-hole, and Maybe and Masan Gilani up on the roof by now, in case their target got imaginative.Koryk arrived, in a sweat, scowling and grinding his teeth. Miserable turds, he muttered. Whats with this lust to spend coin? Markets are stupid.Keeps people happy, said Bottle, or if not exactly happy, then . . . temporarily satiated. Which serves the same function.Which is?Keeping them outa trouble. The disruptive kind of trouble, he added, seeing Koryks knotted forehead, his darting eyes. The kind that comes when a population finds the time to think, really think, I meanwhen they start realizing what a piece of shit all this is.Sounds like one of the Kings speechesthey put me to sleep, like youre doing right now, Bottle. Where exactly is he, then?One of my rats is crouching at the foot of a banisterWhich one?Baby Smilesshes the best for this. Anyway, shes got her beady eyes fixed right on him. Hes at a table in the corner, just under a shuttered windowbut it doesnt look like the kind anyone could actually climb through. Basically, Bottle concluded, hes cornered.Koryks frown deepened. Thats too easy, isnt it?Bottle scratched at his stubble, shifted from one foot to the other, and then sighed. Aye, way too easy.Here come Balm and Gesler.The two sergeants arrived.What are we doing here? Balm asked, eyes wide.Gesler said, Hes in his funk again, never mind him. We got us a fight ahead, I figure. A nasty one. He wont go down easy.Whats the plan, then? Koryk asked.Stormy leads the way. Hes going to spring him looseif he...Rezensionen:Noch nie habe ich derart tiefgründige Phantasie gelesen.Wenn ihr den Wunsch verspürt die Menschen und die Menschheit zu verstehen und dabei noch episch-hochdramatisch unterhalten werden wollt.LEST DIESES BUCH,BITTE!!!Der Autor hat ein unglaublich profundes Wissen im Bereich Geschichte, Ökonomie, Soziologie and Psychologie. Und all dieses Weisheiten tropfen wie Belanglosigkeiten aus jedem noch so kleinen Nebensatz. Unglaublich.Seine Welt ist düster, fast schon Schwarz, doch überall flackern kleine Lichter des Humors. Rabenschwarze, todesverachtener Sarkasmus.Game of Thrones ist ein Kindergarten gehen diese Reihe...vor allem in den späteren Romanen, wenn die Story einem kosmischen Erdrutsch gleich Schwung aufgenommen hat!!!===Das vorletzte Buch der Reihe, gewohnt spitzenmäßig! Erikson schafft Dialoge zu schreiben, in denen absurde Komik und schicksalhafte, tiefgreifende Entscheidungen und Wendungen direkt nebeneinander liegen! Jeder Charakter wird mit viel Liebe zum Detail dargestellt. Kleine Höhepunkte sind immer die Dialoge von Tehol, der schon aus den anderen Büchern bekannt ist, allein deshalb lohnt sich das Buch! Sehr zu empfehlen!===Ich kann es kaum begreifen wie Erikson es immer wieder schafft eine solche Spannungin seinen Büchern aufzubauen. Solche Begabung wünscht man sich als angehenderFantasyautor ebenfalls. Ein ganz großes, mitreißendes Buch, mit einem brutalen Ende,wie gewohnt von den Malazan Büchern.Jetzt verstehe ich auch warum die Reihe "Malazan Books of the Fallen" heißt.Erikson scheut sich nämlich nicht einen Haufen wichtiger Charaktere auf der Streckezu lassen wenn es der Story dient. Respekt!Eines meiner absoluten Lieblingsbücher. Jeder Fantasy-Fan MUSS diese Reihe gelesen haben,am besten in der Originalsprache (auch wenn es manchmal Worte gibt die man wohl noch nie gehört hat).===Letheras: Adjunct Tavore und ihre Armee rüsten sich für ihren letzten Kampf. Sie planen, in das entfernte Königreich Kolanse zu ziehen, um sich dort dem Crippled God zu stellen. Was sie genau erwartet, können sie nur erahnen, und ihre Erfolgsaussichten sind zweifelhaft, dennoch wird Tavore von ihrem Plan nicht abweichen. Ihr Weg nach Kolanse führt sie nach Osten durch das Wasteland, einer gewaltigen, verlassenen Ebene. Tavores Verbündete, die Perish Grey Helms und die Khundryl, bringen sich in Stellung, um sich im Osten mit der Adjunct zu verbünden. Dabei kommen sie dem Königreich Bolkando zu nahe, das eifersüchtig über seine Grenzen wacht. Wird es zu einem Zusammenstoß kommen?Zeitgleich bereiten sich die White Face Barghast auf einen Krieg gegen einen unbekannten Gegner vor. Die Clans sollen sich unter Onos T'oolan vereinen, werden jedoch intern von Eifersucht und Machtgier aufgerieben. Kann Tool seine Stellung als Clansführer halten und seine Krieger in die richtige Richtung lenken?Eine kleine Gruppe K'Chain Che'Malle durchstreift unterdessen begleitet von ihrem menschlichen Destriant das Wasteland auf der Suche nach einem menschlichen Shield Anvil und Mortal Sword. Die drei Auserwählten sollen ihnen helfen, sie vor der Ausrottung zu bewahren.Dann sind da noch die Shake, die immer noch ihre Heimat suchen, die Elder Gods, die sich den nahenden Umsturz zunutze machen wollen, Silchas Ruin, die T'lan Imass, Icarium Lifestealer, und, und, und...All diese Fraktionen und noch unzählige mehr werden im Wasteland früher oder später aufeinander treffen. Können ihre verschiedenen Pläne wirklich Früchte tragen?In DUST OF DREAMS laufen die zahlreichen Handlungsstränge des MALAZAN BOOK OF THE FALLEN langsam aber sicher zusammen. Alte Fragen werden endlich beantwortet (natürlich nicht alle) und alte Bekannte tauchen wieder auf. Erikson hält die Spannung wie immer konstant hoch und er spart auch nicht an überraschenden Wendungen, die niemals vorhersehbar oder unglaubwürdig wirken. Liebgewonnene Figuren haben wieder ihren Auftritt, wobei man wie gewohnt nie wissen kann, wer es schafft und wer nicht.DUST OF DREAMS ist der erste Teil des großen Finales und hat anders als seine Vorgängerbände kein abgeschlossenes Ende, was in einen wirklich gemeinen Cliffhanger mündet. Man kann also nur hoffen, dass der finale Band THE CRIPPLED GOD so schnell wie möglich erscheint.Insgesamt hat mich DUST OF DREAMS rundum begeistert. Fans des MALAZAN BOOK OF THE FALLEN werden den Roman ohnehin verschlingen, Neueinsteiger sollten mit GARDENS OF THE MOON starten.
