	Depends on the country, but the books are coming out in hardcover first, damn them to Jabba's intestines. I've had to wait a year for The Bonehunters paperback. It'll make the read better, I know. -----signature----- The Brits gave the world Doctor Who We owe them

	I have started rereading Gardens so I can get my fix till book 5 comes out over here. Man now that I am going back and rereading I am catching so much more than I did the first time obvioiusly but I am amazed at just HOW much I am. Reading it this time has been much more full filling. -----signature----- Master of Ringthane I'm SO hot! No really I am.

	It's fun when you realise the spiderweb of cause and effect. That flooded warren world that was sometimes mentioned, visited, you saw someone in the fifth book cause. Draining a water realm into another, to flood it for their reasons. As a prequel book, the fifth predates them all, so now you realise how it happened. -----signature----- The Brits gave the world Doctor Who We owe them

	I am fixing to order books 5 and 6 from Am UK but I have no idea what the equivalent is in price it list the hardcovers as 13.27 I think. I know that is in pounds but what does that equal in dollars? Also what it show up as on a State side credit card? -----signature----- Master of Ringthane I'm SO hot! No really I am.

	I don't know about the current exchange rate (the stupid things change every day) but when I was in London last spring it was one pound = $1.82. I can't imagine that it's changed much. I'd say you'd be paying about $45 + shipping for both. -----signature----- "Not till the moon falls. Not till the world ends."

	Superb novels, but they're already above market price as it is. The first three paperbacks were AUD$5 more subsequents $2. Your best bet is find an online Dymocks-class store who can order it in for personal pickup cheaper, as some do, or try Emporium. -----signature----- The Brits gave the world Doctor Who We owe them

	Does the annoying lapdog from DHG make any further appearances? I'd like to see it become one of the Hounds of Shadow.

	The surviving dogs have a small part in House of Chains. At the end, when the Malazan army and Whirlwind rebels ready to clash, Coltaine's grieving friends realise why the dogs were wandering around, and why they hadn't noticed it before. And what they were looking for. For in their grief they hadn't been hearing Raraku . . . For the desert has . . . awakened. That won't make any sense unless you've read the book, of course. But you gotta hand it to Erikson: he shocks you with Memories of Ice's least expected deaths . . . and then shocks you again, snapkick and out for a round. -----signature----- The Brits gave the world Doctor Who We owe them

	Raraku is alive! The Malazan books are the the best fantasy books I've ever read! I've got Midnight Tides today...and I've been grinning like an idiot while reading the kriffing prologue! I think I owe you guys some sort of thanks, since I bought Gardens of the Moon after reading this thread. So, thanks... -----signature----- "I want that ship, not excuses." - Your Lord

	I was grinning too. The prologue promises a showdown between Rake and Ossie. A pity it's offpage, and later in the book as a vision. But when you think about it, Midnight Tide's a prequel book, and its prologue many thousands of years earlier. You know neither will die, so a fight scene would have been redundent. And you're informed that Rake and the white Tiste may have a rivalry---and now you know why!---but there's almost a grudging respect exchanged, and neither will come to killing blows---perhaps yet. Still, when Jaghut and deity exchanged that smile, that Anomander Rake was coming for that arrogant Tiste . . . I was smiling too. Hey! The book has characters with secret identities, one of them prominent. Whatever you do, DON'T READ THE END before you get to it, or you'll spoil a cool surprise . . . like I was stupid enough to. Don't worry, Midnight Tides may seem rather full of philosophical discourses and long winded, but you know the sparring kingdoms are heading for a showdown---and you'll get one between their most powerful wizards. But who will win? -----signature----- The Brits gave the world Doctor Who We owe them

	I'm up to chapter ten by now. I'm really enjoying this book! It's good to see Trull Sengar again; he's becoming one of my favourite characters. But Tehol and Bugg are stealing the show so far! They could even challenge the almighty Kruppe himself! And I certainly won't read the ending before I get there...I made that particular mistake with House of Chains...silly me. -----signature----- "I want that ship, not excuses." - Your Lord

	Please excuse the double post. I have finished Midnight Tides. I love it. To tell the truth, Memories of Ice is probably still my favourite among the Malazan Books. But the 5th is a very close second! Just wow! I saw one or the other thing coming. But Rhulad? My favourite manservant? I should praise Mr Erikson. There is no superlative to describe him. -----signature----- "I want that ship, not excuses." - Your Lord

	He has a knack for cheeky humour. I very nearly laugh aloud at times. Like the end of Midnight Tides, when those two creatures chased the Fokrul Assail into a ground hole, one of the world's most lethal inhabitants. Curious how far it went, they dropped shorts and started peeing. One of my favourite pages was the confrontation between Onrack and the Tiste Liosan in House of Chains. I geuninely laughed the Sith Lords out of my pants. And the gentlemens' chat in Memories of Ice, with Quick Ben and the two necromancers. The butler wondered why the wine tasted like blood, was told he did bring the blood bottle instead of wine. They're all chatting and probing each other with all the time in the world, when one of the necromancers apprises Ben his partner was taking a strong disliking to him, would probably attack at any moment, not to take it personally. And Ben's assurance that he wasn't, as he slammed seven whole warrens at his partner, crashing him through the wall. -----signature----- The Brits gave the world Doctor Who We owe them

	At the end of Memories of Ice, did Silverfox actually free all the Imass or only Tool? Cuz they did mention that the other Imass wanted to go deal with the humans that were destroying their brethren to the far south.
