[Spanish] - Mareas de Medianoche (Malaz: El Libro de los Caídos 5)

Mareas de Medianoche es el quinto volumen de la saga «Malaz: El Libro de los Caídos», la decalogía originalmente publicada entre 1999 y 2011 que ha convertido al escritor canadiense Steven Erikson en una de las mayores voces de la fantasía épica contemporánea. Desde entonces, esta obra maestra de la imaginación está considerada una de las series más ambiciosas del género de los últimos años. Después de décadas de guerras intestinas, las tribus de los Tiste Edur al fin se han unido bajo el mando del Rey Warlock. Hay paz, pero el precio ha sido terrible: un pacto hecho con un poder oculto cuyos motivos son, en el mejor de los casos, sospechosos, y, en el peor, mortales. Al sur, el rapaz reino de Lether, impaciente por ver cumplido el papel que profetizaron para él largo tiempo atrás como imperio renacido, ha esclavizado a sus vecinos menos civilizados. Es decir, a todos salvo a los Tiste Edur. El destino ha decretado que también ellos han de caer. Y, sin embargo, la lucha inminente que librarán estos dos pueblos no es más que un pálidoreflejo de un conflicto más primitivo. Se están reuniendo antiguas fuerzas y con ellas la herida todavía abierta de una vieja traición y un ansia de venganza... La crítica ha dicho... «Homérico en alcance y visión... Una historia que ni por un instante deja de emocionar y entretener.» SF Site «Erikson se encuentra en lo más alto del panteón de la fantasía épica.» Publishers Weekly «Erikson no tiene competidor en lo que se refiere a acción e imaginación, y alcanza la categoría de Tolkien y Donaldson en su visión mítica, incluso podría superarlos.» SF Site

[Spanish] - La casa de cadenas (Malaz: El Libro de los Caídos 4)

La casa de cadenas es la cuarta entrega de la saga «Malaz: El Libro de los Caídos», la decalogía, originalmente publicada entre 1999 y 2011, que ha convertido al escritor canadiense Steven Erikson en una de las mayores voces de fantasía épica contemporánea. Desde entonces, esta obra maestra de la imaginación está considerada una de las series más ambiciosas que ha dado el género en los últimos años. Este volumen comienza en el norte de Genabackis, el día que empieza el extraordinario destino de Karsa Orlong, uno de los tres guerrerossalvajes que descienden las montañas para atacar las tierras del sur. Pasados unos años, Tavore, la inexperta consejera de la emperatriz, debe adiestrar a doce mil soldados para convertirlos en una fuerza capaz de desafiar a las hordas de la elegida, Sha'ik, que aguardan en el desierto. Allí, sus caudillos están enzarzados en una lucha de poder que amenaza al alma de la rebelión, mientras que Sha'ik se obsesiona con la que cree que es su mayor enemiga: su hermana. Reseñas: «Actualmente se está escribiendo la mejor fantasía épica. 'Juego de Tronos' y 'Malaz: El Libro de los Caídos' son las sagas más importantes de este nuevo fenómeno, y mucho más satisfactorias que la fantasía que nació al amparo de Tolkien.» The New York Times «Este es el mayor trabajo de Steven Erikson hasta el momento, y eso es mucho decir.» Fantasy Book Review

Pero son más los clanes antiguos que se están reuniendo. Los t#lan imass se alzan para responder a una antigua llamada primitiva. Algo maligno amenaza este mundo: las sendas están envenenadas y abundan los rumores sobre un dios que se ha deshecho de sus cadenas y está empeñado en vengarse...

Random House presents the audiobook edition of Reaper's Gale: The Malazan Book of the Fallen 7 by Steven Erikson, read by Michael Page. All is not well in the Letherii Empire. Rhulad Sengar, the Emperor of a Thousand Deaths, spirals into madness, surrounded by sycophants and agents of his Machiavellian chancellor, while the Letherii secret police conduct a campaign of terror against its own people. The Errant, once a farseeing god, is suddenly blind to the future. Conspiracies seethe throughout the palace, as the empire - driven by the corrupt and self-interested - edges ever-closer to all-out war with the neighbouring kingdoms. And the great Edur fleet - its warriors selected from countless peoples - draws ever closer. Amongst them are Karsa Orlong and Icarium Lifestealer - each destined to cross blades with the emperor himself. That yet more blood is to be spilled is inevitable... Against this backdrop, a band of fugitives seek a way out of the empire, but one of them, Fear Sengar must find the soul of Scabandari Bloodeye. It is his hope that it might help halt the Tiste Edur, and so save his brother, the emperor. Yet, travelling with them is Scabandari's most ancient foe: Silchas Ruin, brother of Anomander Rake. And his motives are anything but certain - for the wounds he carries on his back, made by the blades of Scabandari, are still fresh. Fate decrees that there is to be a reckoning, for such bloodshed cannot go unanswered - and it will be a reckoning on an unimaginable scale... A brutal, harrowing novel of war, intrigue and dark, uncontrollable magic, this is epic fantasy at its most imaginative, storytelling at its most thrilling.

Random House presents the audiobook edition of Toll the Hounds: The Malazan Book of the Fallen 8 by Steven Erikson, read by Michael Page. In Darujhistan, the saying goes that Love and Death shall arrive together, dancing... It is summer and the heat is oppressive, yet the discomfiture of the small rotund man in the faded red waistcoat is not entirely due to the sun.

All is palpably not well. And in Black Coral too, ruled over by Anomander Rake Son of Darkness, something is afoot - memories of ancient crimes surface, clamouring for revenge, so it would seem that Love and Death are indeed about to make their entrance... This is epic fantasy at its most imaginative, storytelling at its most exciting.

Midnight Tides: (Malazan Book of the Fallen 5)

Random House presents the audiobook edition of Midnight Tides: Malazan Book of the Fallen 5 by Steven Erikson, read by Michael Page. After decades of warfare, the five tribes of the Tiste Edur have finally united under the implacable rule of the Warlock King of the Hiroth. 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, cold-blooded hunger. All, that is, save one - the Tiste Edur. For Lether is approaching a long-prophesied renaissance - from kingdom and lost colony of the First Empire to Empire reborn. And so its people have fixed their avid gazes northward, to the rich and abundant lands and coasts of the Tiste Edur. And beneath the suffocating weight of gold, or by slaughter at the edge of a sword, it seems the Tiste Edur must fall. Or so Destiny has decreed. As the gathering for a pivotal treaty between the two nears, ancient forces are awakening. For the impending struggle between these two civilisations is but a pale reflection of a far more profound, primal battle - a confrontation with the still-raw wound of an old betrayal and the craving for vengeance at its heart. Among the Tiste Edur -- among Trull Sengar's people -- it is believed that the darkest hungers of the spirit arrive on the tides from the south, and these tides come at midnight... War and betrayal, magic and myth collide in this, the stunning fifth chapter in Steven Erikson magnificent 'Malazan Book of the Fallen' sequence - a monumental achievement that is being hailed by readers and critics alike as an epic of the imagination and a fantasy classic in the making.
