Malazanskaja kniga pavshikh esche ne napisana. Do rozhdenija Malazanskoj imperii s ee beskonechnymi pritjazanijami na sosednie gosudarstva, krovoprolitnymi vojnami i zhestokimi vlastiteljami i vlastitelnitsami neskolko tysjach let. No i doimperskie vremena ne balujut osobym pokoem. Ten grazhdanskoj vojny navisla nad korolevstvom Kurald Galejn. Zhenschina iz prostykh smertnykh, obretja magicheskij dar, narekaet sebja Materju-Tmoj, boginej, voploscheniem Tmy. Ne vsem po nravu novoe bozhestvo i osobenno ee favorit Drakonus. Mestnaja znat predpochitaet vyskochke-favoritu proslavlennogo voina Urusandera. Rjadom s Kuraldom Galejnom, na granitse ego Vneshnikh predelov, pleschetsja more Vitr; vody etogo morja sposobny rastvorjat dazhe kamen, nastolko oni napitany jadom. No odnazhdy iz ego jadovitykh vod pojavljaetsja volshebnitsa T'rissa. Ona sposobna sozdavat chto ugodno iz vsego, podvernuvshegosja ej pod ruku, i potom ozhivljat eti svoi tvorenija. Pamjat u T'rissy sterta, edinstvennoe, v chem ona uverena, - eto v tom, chto v blizhajshem buduschem dorogi ee i Materi-Tmy nepremenno peresekutsja... Vpervye na russkom!

Tma pala na nekogda tsvetuschij kontinent Genabakis. Moguschestvennaja Malazanskaja imperija odin za drugim zavoevyvaet Volnye goroda. Tolko dva iz nikh - Krep i Darudzhistan - esche ostajutsja nepokorennymi. No nadolgo li im khvatit sil soprotivljatsja? Da i sama imperija, razdiraemaja vnutrennimi protivorechijami, stonet pod vlastju zhestokoj imperatritsy Lasin. V nebe visit Semja Luny - tainstvennaja bazaltovaja krepost, o kotoroj khodjat samye neverojatnye slukhi. Drevnjaja magija protivostoit boevomu iskusstvu. Kovarnye bogi, nabljudaja za smertnymi, vedut sobstvennuju igru. I predugadat iskhod protivostojanija absoljutno nevozmozhno... Pervaja kniga desjatitomnogo tsikla, o kotorom odin iz stolpov dark fentezi Glen Kuk skazal: "Etot shedevr pisatelskogo voobrazhenija - vozmozhno, vysshaja tochka epicheskoj fentezi". Avtor illjustratsii na oblozhke - frantsuzskij khudozhnik Mark Simonetti, izvestnyj rabotami po vselennoj "Pesn Lda i Ognja" Martina, a takzhe oblozhkami knig Chajny Mevilja, Alastera Rejnoldsa i drugikh. Perevod romana dan v novoj redakture, znachitelno oblegchajuschej znakomstvo so slozhnym mirom i mnozhestvom personazhej, sozdannykh avtorom. Mirovye prodazhi knig Malazanskogo tsikla prevysili 3 000 000 ekzempljarov! Erikson nazyvaet "Djunu" Gerberta odnim iz istochnikov vdokhnovenija dlja svoego epicheskogo tsikla. "Sady Luny" pogruzhajut v mir istorii medlenno i trebujut raboty uma, chtoby sobrat vse detali voedino. Perevodchik: Likhtenshtejn Efrem

Voinstvennoe korolevstvo Leterija, rasshirjaja svoi predely, zakhvatilo pochti ves kontinent, odin iz shesti na planete, otgorodivshis ot Malazanskoj imperii i vsego ostalnogo mira glukhoj stenoj i sokhranjaja obychai i magicheskie ritualy drevnosti. Nepokorennymi na kontinente ostajutsja lish tiste edur, nekogda velikij, a nyne prebyvajuschij v upadke sojuz plemen. Khannan Mosag, korol-koldun, pravitel sodruzhestva plemen tiste edur, zhelaja vozrodit byluju slavu naroda, zakljuchaet soglashenie s Uvechnym Bogom, chtoby poluchit v svoi ruki mech, obladatel kotorogo delaetsja nepobedimym. No mech popadaet v ruki chestoljubivogo Rulada Sengara, prostogo voina, i tot, objaviv sebja imperatorom, brosaet vyzov leterijskomu korolevstvu. Tem vremenem blizitsja den, kogda dolzhno ispolnitsja drevnee prorochestvo o vozrozhdenii Pervoj imperii. No vozmozhno li eto? Ved Pervaja imperija byla unichtozhena mnogo tysjacheletij nazad i k tomu zhe na drugom kontinente... Perevodchik: Ivanov Igor

Novaja beda prishla na zemli Malazanskoj imperii. Ej ugrozhaet Pannionskij Domin, nedavno obrazovavshajasja imperija religioznykh fanatikov, kotoruju vozglavljaet zagadochnyj Pannionskij Providets. Etot nastojaschij tiran nameren obratit v "istinnuju" veru ves mir. Voiny, emu podchinjajuschiesja, otlichajutsja osoboj zhestokostju, ne znajut zhalosti i dazhe ne brezgujut ljudoedstvom. Goroda odin za drugim gibnut pod ikh jarostnym natiskom. Imperatritsa Lasin, chtoby protivostojat zakhvatchikam, vynuzhdena vstupit v sojuz s davnimi vragami imperii - Kaladanom Brudom, komandujuschim osvoboditelnoj armiej Genabakisa, i Anomanderom Rejkom, vladykoj Semeni Luny, nepristupnoj kamennoj kreposti, parjaschej v malazanskom nebe. V eto vremja boginja Ogn, Gospozha Zemli, medlenno umiraet vo sne, zlobnyj Uvechnyj Bog krov ee napital jadom. Esli ona umret, vse zhivoe pogibnet. Sposoben li khot kto-nibud ostanovit vseobschuju pogibel? Est li nadezhda na to, chto v mire nastanet mir?.. Voprosy, voprosy, voprosy. I ni odnogo otveta.

Semigrade, nekogda okkupirovannoe Malazanskoj imperiej i popavshee k nej pod pjatu, vosstalo. Samo suschestvovanie imperii pod ugrozoj. Imperatritsa Lasin karatelnymi merami pytaetsja podavit mjatezh. Voinstvo Apokalipsisa - Vikhr Dridzhny, - sosredotochennoe v svjaschennoj pustyne Raraku, vo glave s Sha'ik Vozrozhdennoj, vedet svoju dvojnuju igru. V stane semigradskikh mjatezhnikov takzhe net edinstva i ponimanija: magi, pustynnye plemena, perebezhchik Korbolo Dom - vse khotjat pereigrat situatsiju v svoju polzu. Tsep sudeb i obstojatelstv, kotoraja skovyvaet ljudej, vot-vot oborvetsja. Chem eto zakonchitsja dlja planety? Cheredoj novykh neschastij? Mirom? Pokoem? Otveta net...

New York Times bestselling author Steven Erikson continues the beloved Malazan Book of the Fallen with this first book in the thrilling Witness sequel trilogy, The God is Not Willing. Many years have passed since three warriors brought carnage and chaos to Silver Lake. Now the tribes of the north no longer venture into the southlands. The town has recovered and yet the legacy remains. Responding to reports of a growing unease among the tribes beyond the border, the Malazan army marches on the new god's people. They aren't quite sure what they're going to be facing. And in those high mountains, a new warleader has risen amongst the Teblor. Scarred by the deeds of Karsa Orlong, he intends to confront his god even if he has to cut a bloody swathe through the Malazan Empire to do so. Further north, a new threat has emerged and now it seems it is the Teblor who are running out of time. Another long-feared migration is about to begin and this time it won't just be three warriors. No, this time tens of thousands are poised to pour into the lands to the south. And in their way, a single company of Malazan marines . . .

'Awe-inspiring. Prepare to fall in love with epic fantasy all over again.' ANNA SMITH SPARK, author of The Court of Broken KnivesThe thrilling opening chapter in an epic new fantasy from the author of The Malazan Book of the Fallen... Many years have passed since three Teblor warriors brought carnage and chaos to Silver Lake. Now the tribes of the north no longer venture into the southlands. The town has recovered and yet the legacy remains. Indeed, one of the three, Karsa Orlong, is now revered as a god, albeit an indifferent one. In truth, many new religions have emerged and been embraced across the Malazan world. There are those who worship Coltaine, the Black-Winged Lord, and the cult of Iskar Jarak, Guardian of the Dead, is popular among the Empire's soldiery. Responding to reports of a growing unease among the tribes beyond the border, a legion of Malazan marines marches towards Silver Lake. They aren't quite sure what they're going to be facing, but, while the Malazan military has evolved and these are not the marines of old, one thing hasn't changed: they'll handle whatever comes at them. Or die trying. And in those high mountains, a new warleader has risen amongst the Teblor. Scarred by the deeds of Karsa Orlong, he intends to confront his god even if he has to cut a bloody swathe through the Malazan Empire to do so. But further north, a new threat has emerged and now it seems it is the Teblor who are running out of time. Another long-feared migration is about to begin and this time it won't just be three warriors. No, this time tens of thousands are poised to pour into the lands to the south. And in their way, a single company of Malazan marines . . . It seems the past is about to revisit Silver Lake, and that is never a good thing . . .

Im snova predstoit krovoprolitnaja borba s vragom, kotorogo oni ranee ne videli, a iskhod ee neizvesten dazhe prorokam... Tak pod ravnodushnymi nebesami dalekoj strany nachalas predposlednjaja glava "Malazanskoj Knigi Pavshikh"... Tom vtoroj "Pyli grez".

The Fiends of Nightmaria is a new novella from New York Times bestselling author Steven Erikson, set in the world of the Malazan Book of the Fallen. The king is dead, long live King Bauchelain the First, crowned by the Grand Bishop Korbal Broach. Both are, of course, ably assisted in the running of the Kingdom of Farrog by their slowly unravelling servant, Emancipor Reese. However, tensions are mounting between Farrog and the neighboring country of Nightmaria, the mysterious home of the Fiends. Their ambassador, Ophal D Neeth Flatroq, seeks an audience with King Bauchelain, who has thus far rebuffed his overtures. But the necromancer has some other things on his plate. To quell potential rebellion nearly all the artists, poets, and bards in the city have been put to death. A few survivors languish in the dungeons, bemoaning their fates. Well, just moaning in general really...and maybe plotting escape and revenge.

An astonishing, provocative, beautifully written and startlingly visionary novel of first contact from a key genre writer

The necromancers Bauchelain and Korbal Broach - scourges of civilization, raisers of the dead, reapers of the souls of the living, devourers of hope, betrayers of faith, slayers of the innocent and modest personifications of evil - have a lot to answer for and answer they will, but first they must lie, murder and cheat their way through three more escapades in some of the more deprived fringes and impoverished communities of the Malazan Empire. Much to the shame of their long-suffering general factotum, Emancipoor Reese... Here then - for readers' delectation and entertainment - are those escapades, namely the novellas The Crack'd Pot Trail, The Wurms of Blearmouth and The Fiends of Nightmaria . . .

From New York Times bestselling author Steven Erikson comes Willful Child: Wrath of Betty, a 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. The New York Times bestselling author of the acclaimed Malazan Book of the Fallen series 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 Science Fiction novel that deftly parodies the genre while also paying fond homage to it.
