Just to be confusing, THIS RIVER was not his first written novel, which was in fact GARDENS. Werthead Send a noteboard - 22/01/2012 08:10:51 PM
Steven Erikson - This River Awakens - 19 Jan UK & US

This appears to be a re-publishing of Erikson's very first published novel, originally published in 1998 under his real name. I guess they rightly figure it'll get a lot more attention now...


GARDENS OF THE MOON is actually Erikson's first novel, written in 1991. THIS RIVER AWAKENS was written a few years later, but published first.

Of course, just to be totally brain-frying, Esslemont's first two books (NIGHT OF KNIVES and RETURN OF THE CRIMSON GUARD) were actually written in the 1980s, before GARDENS was even written and a decade or more before it was published :)

Yeah I was wondering why they were saying debut novel. - 22/01/2012 12:52:39 AM 741 Views
