Archaeologist and anthropologist, Steven Erikson is the
bestselling author of the genre-defining The Malazan Book of the
Fallen, a multi-volume epic fantasy that's been hailed ‘a
masterwork of the imagination’ and one of the top ten fantasy
series of all time. The first novel in the series, Gardens of the
Moon, was short-listed for the World Fantasy Award. He has also
written several novellas set in the same world. Forge of Darkness
is the first Kharkanas novel and takes readers back to the origins
of the Malazan world. Fall of Light continues this epic tale. A
lifelong science fiction reader, he has also written fiction
affectionately parodying a long-running SF television series and
Rejoice, a novel of first contact. The God is Not Willing is the
opening chapter in a new sequence – The Tales of Witness – and is
set in the world of the Malazan Empire, ten years after the events
recounted in The Crippled God.
Steven Erikson lives in Victoria, Canada. To find out more, visit

As good as I expected it to be . . . Erikson continues to showcase
his talents as an impressive wordsmith . . . mesmerising and
memorable. Add to this intense battles, witty banter, advanced
warfare, new curses, new gods, and escapades with warrens and this
world's supernatural and you'll see why I had such a good time.
*GRIMDARK magazine*
It is beautiful, it is captivating and utterly enthralling . . .
Erikson is unparalleled in both the scope of his imagination and
the talent of his prose, but more importantly, he is as insightful
and funny as Terry Pratchett ever was.
*FANTASY BOOK REVIEW*
If The God Is Not Willing lacks the physical weight of the earlier
Malazan books, it certainly doesn't lack the emotional heft . . .
[this] is Erikson still at the top of his game, a lean, sharply
honed and powerful addition to what is already in my mind the
pre-eminent fantasy universe of the last few decades.
*TOR.COM*
A determined, focused, well-paced and immensely rich novel of war,
peace, hubris, consequence, sorcery and compassion . . . The God is
Not Willing is Steven Erikson bringing his A-game, turned up to 11,
and delivering what is comfortably one of his three or four best
novels to date.
