In Topic: The Last Champion

Edelweiss is currently showing a 1 April 2027 release date for this book. They still show the below publisher summary, which has been floating around on their website for years.
Quote
An enthralling, exciting, fifth chapter - full of adventure and magic - in Ian C. Esslemont's acclaimed epic fantasy sequence 'Paths to Ascendancy' and taking readers back to the turbulent and troubled early history of what would become the Malazan Empire.
Here we will be documenting and following the emerging Malazan Empire's first landings and foothold in the region of the Seven Cities. Central to this account will be the monumental and notorious attack on the Holy City of Aren.
The emergence of Dassem Ultor, his rising influence and popularity among the military of the empire - together with Surly's growing wariness of it - is all suggestive of his death before the walls of Y'ghatan.
Another path of this story will follow Kellanved and Dancer's exploration of Shadow and beyond, and further steps towards the former's ascension as Shadowthrone. -

A few years ago, Erikson said he was working on an Avas Didion Flicker novella, putting the assassin/poet in a kind of Hercules Poirot English manor murder mystery. I'd still like to see that.
Also, Esslemont has mentioned he'd like to do science fiction next. I wouldn't mind reading that either. -

Don't forget this detail that appeared in the comments from another attendee:

One more thing to add about The Last God:
Somebody asked if Kruppe was Azathanai, and Erikson said no, but when the questioner followed up by asking if he was just a regular person, Erikson stated he can't answer that, as it's a topic in The Last God.

05 Jan 2023 - 02:23I think it's pretty bloody good!
And if some whinging twats want it to be better, they can always get off their fat arses and help.
But of course not, that involves more than being a neckbeard keyboard warrior living in Mum's basement.
SMH, some people expect the world for nothing.
F**k those idiots, the rest...
