Ublala is one of my favourite characters - if you didn't love him before you certainly will when you've read this book.

Haha, that's awesome. Ublala goes up on the awesome character's list every book he's in. Liked him in MT, had some awesome moments in RG (favorite scene is probably the manhunt), and in DoD him and Draconus were freaking hilarious. Can't wait to see him in TCG.

uhm, that should be 'stuff.' My stiff is never nihilistic.

The cover art has just renewed my overwhelming excitement for the last installment. Cant arrive quick enough. Its prob ganoes paran imo.

"Out of doubt, out of dark to the day's rising,I came singing into the sun, sword unsheathing.
To hope's end I rode and to heart's breaking: Now for wrath, now for ruin and a red nightfall! "

Clearly, the thing in the bottom left is the Salamanders Space Marine chapter icon, and what you're seeing there, is a drop pod attack.

Also, the crippled god is the Emperor.

Here is a high res version for those looking for desktops like me - sorry if this has already been found.

Holy Hell, that's a fantastic cover!
Reading "The Final Tale of The Malazan Book Of The Fallen" gave me chills. I can't imagine reading "Thus ends the Malazan Book of the Fallen"

Not to be a downer, but I'm with Puck on this one. Yet another cover that looks entirely computer generated with the doofy looking helmet above SE's name. Not to mention the strange color arrangement. I'm still pissed that TOR is taking the UK covers - can you tell?

I'm sure the written scene that this is depicting is orgasmic, but every UK cover tries to force the scene shown to be epic, or tragic, etc. But always in an overdone manner.

If the soldier is Yedan Derryg… maybe the dragon is Edgewalker, or whatever his real name is.

"'I'm stuffed,' said King Tehol, and then, with a glance at his guest, added, 'Sorry.'
Captain Shurq Elalle regarded him with her crystal goblet halfway to her well-padded lips. 'Yet another swollen member at my table.'"

This by far the most exciting book cover I've seen all day! Posted Image

And I'd have a mind to say it's Korabas. The whole shot has a look of finality to it.

The man could be Brys. But then is their any connection between Brys and Korabas?

Brys is the Mortal Sword... or knight?... of Emurhlan. He is an important pawn in the Deck of Dragons. The Gods could move him into play at any given time. But really, as impressive as he is, would any one expect him to kill a Dragon the size of an air craft carrier with a sword?

Maybe he'll get eaten and stab the dragon in its spleen from inside the digestive tract.

dammit I just realised there was more than one page of this thread and that it had already been mentioned who the man is.
FAIL by me.

p.s. Derryg is officially the most bas-ass character in the history of bad-assness.

And by the way, whatever that dragon is it is pretty safe to say that it looks mightily peeved off.

Does anyone know if the US Tor version will have the same cover? I have a feeling they will since DOD was the same and they've been releasing all the current UK covers in paperback. Hopefully they do, then I can actually buy it in a store on the release date instead of waiting 2-3 weeks. Thanks.

Clearly this is the part where Kruppe unveils his True Form.

I'm sure Tor's cover for TCG will match the example set by DoD. The artwork will be the same as the Bantam version, with possible color tweaks and/or resizings, but that's all, I imagine.

"Here is light. You will say that it is not a living entity, but you miss the point that it is more, not less. Without occupying space, it fills the universe. It nourishes everything, yet itself feeds upon destruction. We claim to control it, but does it not perhaps cultivate us as a source of food? May it not be that all wood grows so that it can be set ablaze, and that men and women are born to kindle fires?"

Decisions, decisions. Do I go for the UK release knowing this is the art? Or do I go with the US release, hoping this is the art, and realizing it will get to me a couple weeks after the UK release? I have some time to make up my mind but it really is a tough call. I have bought the UK release on all of the books so I probably will go ahead and do it again.

Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

It's also the most used. It's everywhere. I remember it as far back as Blade 2.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
