Gardens Of The Moon: (Malazan Book Of The Fallen 1) (The Malazan Book Of The Fallen) (The Malazan Book Of The Fallen, 1) Mass Market Paperback

Gardens of the Moon opens with an empire already mid-campaign, offers no gentle introduction, and expects the reader to work out the map while the siege is under way. Steven Erikson begins his long sequence on the continent of Genabackis, where the Malazan Empire's armies grind toward a free city and a company of veteran soldiers called the Bridgeburners finds itself treated as expendable. Gods, ascendants and rival mages intervene at will, and the narrative moves between soldiers, assassins and powers that treat human plans as raw material.
