No synopsis yet. This does seems consistent with his latest updates as well. So January 2011, for those still looking forward to it.

I trust Amazon release dates about as far I could comfortably spit out Manhattan.

OTOH, I would not be surprise if this was the date. But I'll enquire on Malazanempire.

One of the rules of the internet should be DO NOT TRUST RELEASE DATES ON AMAZON

I'm fully aware of it. Of course, the vast majority of the dates listed on Amazon is simply correct. It's also worth repeating, again and again, that Amazon release dates are provided by the publishers themselves. Barring the occasional exception with cotniniously delayed books, Amazon only puits up wat the publisher info tells them.

I suspect this date for the Crippled God is correct as well.

Y'what?

Not crazy about this title. Still haven't gotten round to reading the last one, as I've mostly given up on Erikson.

I would really take this with a grain of salt - January is the dead zone for book releases. I really would be surprised that it would be released then. I think February or March are much more likely.

SE got back to me about this, and there is no pub date in the works at the moment. He expects to finish the manuscript in mid-June, but he can never tell how long the editing process will take, and then the copy-edit, etc...

Yes it often looks like Amazon pull release dates out of thin air, but in the past they also have been the first to give correct release dates. Dates that are known internally but that publishers or creators are not willing to confirm because the backlash is bigger for them than for Amazon if the date is wrong or for some other reason.

Depends on the publisher, then. If they want they can release it in November considering what happened with previous volumes.

If he says now he should be done in mid-June it also means that there haven't been any delays in the writing.

P.S.

For Dust of Dreams he was done with the manuscript around the beginning of May, and the book was anticipated to mid-August. But we also got no maps and no appendices in return.

I'd gladly have delays if it leads to a better product.

Definately dont trust amazon release dates. Not only are they oftenw rong, but also, occasioanlly, they joke with them.

I remember for a period of about 5 days they announced the release date for A Dance with Dragons as 29th Septemper, 2036.

Looks good, but not as good as yours! :P

We need the real thing, but apparently SE doesn't want to unveil it before it appears 'officially' somewhere (if not TCG then maybe in the occasionally-mooted Malazan encyclopedia, although that is still years away). I think we need renewed requests by people to ask him to post it somewhere ;)

Still, at least Stonewielder should have a map of Korel (unless the publishers go bonkers and post a map of a completely unrelated continent, like they did in House of Chains).

Maybe...maybe I will start the series again when CG comes out.

I just have to fight through Midnight Tides.

Midnight Tides is a sweet book!

I am debating continuing after punishing myself through Toll the Hounds whether or not to even bother with the last two.

Plot synopsis:

Savaged by the K’Chain Nah’Ruk, the Bonehunters march for Kolanse, where waits an unknown fate. Tormented by questions, the army totters on the edge of mutiny, but Adjunct Tavore will not relent. One final act remains, if it is in her power, if she can hold her army together, if the shaky allegiances she has forged can survive all that is to come. A woman with no gifts of magic, deemed plain, unprepossessing, displaying nothing to instill loyalty or confidence, Tavore Paran of House Paran means to challenge the gods – if her own troops don’t kill her first.

Awaiting Tavore and her allies are the Forkrul Assail, the final arbiters of humanity. Drawing upon an alien power terrible in its magnitude, they seek to cleanse the world, to annihilate every human, every civilization, in order to begin anew. They welcome the coming conflagration of slaughter, for it shall be of their own devising, and it pleases them to know that, in the midst of the enemies gathering against them, there shall be betrayal.

In the realm of Kurald Galain, home to the long lost city of Kharkanas, a mass of refugees stand upon the First Shore. Commanded by Yedan Derryg, the Watch, they await the breaching of Lightfall, and the coming of the Tiste Liosan. This is a war they cannot win, and they will die in the name of an empty city and a queen with no subjects.

Elsewhere, the three Elder Gods, Kilmandaros, Errastas and Sechul Lath, work to shatter the chains binding Korabas, the Otataral Dragon, from her eternal prison. Once freed, she will rise as a force of devastation, and against her no mortal can stand. At the Gates of Starvald Demelain, the Azath House sealing the portal is dying. Soon will come the Eleint, and once more, there will be dragons in the world.
