Orb Sceptre Throne

(Malazan Empire: 4): a concoction of greed, betrayal, murder and deception underscore this fantasy epic

De: Ian C Esslemont

Narrado por: John Banks

The tumult of great powers colliding has passed and the city of Darujhistan and its citizens can at last get on with what matters: trading, bickering, politicking and enjoying all the good things in life. However, not all are ready to leave the past behind. A treasure hunter, digging amongst the burial grounds that surround the city, is about to uncover a hidden crypt. He will open the last of a series of sealed vaults - the one that no other dared touch - and, in so doing, set free something so terrifying that the knowledge of its internment may have been systematically wiped from all history.

Fortune hunters are also at work far to the south. When a fragment of Moon's Spawn, once the home of Anomander Rake, Son of Darkness, crashed into the Rivan Sea it created a chain of small islands. Legends and rumours already surround them. The most potent of these is that here is hidden the Throne of Night, claimed by some to be the seat of Mother Dark herself. Either way, all who seek this ancient artefact - renegade mages, hardened mercenaries, even a Malazan army deserter - believe it will bestow unlimited power upon the eventual possessor. The stakes are high, greed is rife, betrayal inevitable, and murder and chaos lie in wait...

Reseñas de la Crítica

The finest Esslemont novel so far, and a superb Malazan novel in its own right, Orb, Sceptre, Throne is a book long-time Malazan fans will love

Surprised

I am the single biggest Malazan fan ever. I love Erikson much. And the thing that blew my mind is while listening to this book, at many points I actually forgot this ISN'T an Erikson book. It seems like ICE has improved and his writing is becoming more refined. I enjoyed this story and Darujhistan isn't my favorite place...

Another home run

I again am astounded at the synergy between the two authors of the Malazan world. the characters are almost seamlessly incorporated into every story. I can't wait for the next book.
