Book Description

In Northern Genabackis, a raiding party of savage tribal warriors descends from the mountains into the southern flatlands. Their intention is to wreak havoc amongst the despised lowlanders, but for the one named Karsa Orlong it marks the beginning of what will prove to be an extraordinary destiny.
Some years later, it is the aftermath of the Chain of Dogs. Tavore, the Adjunct to the Empress, has arrived in the last remaining Malazan stronghold of Seven Cities. New to command, she must hone twelve thousand soldiers, mostly raw recruits but for a handful of veterans of Coltaine’s legendary march, into a force capable of challenging the massed hordes of Sha’ik’s Whirlwind who lie in wait in the heart of the Holy Desert.
But waiting is never easy. The seer’s warlords are locked into a power struggle that threatens the very soul of the rebellion, while Sha’ik herself suffers, haunted by the knowledge of her nemesis: her own sister, Tavore.
And so begins this awesome new chapter in Steven Erikson’s acclaimed Malazan Book of the Fallen . . .

3 out of 5 stars What's the point.......2007-08-17

I loved the first book of the series, Gardens of the moon. Unfortunately each new book is a little bit less then the previous one, and this one is the worst of the 4 i've red so far.

First, how annoying is it to have new major charachters in ever single book? What's the point of sequels if i have to deal with hundreds of boring pages that bring new charachters to life over and over again? By the time you reach the forth book of epic fantasy, it's inexcuable.

Second, since Deathhouse gate the story drags to much. The whole books consist of one little element that is streched thru enitre book, at the end of which only 10% of developed polots are concluded, making you feel like an idiot for reading 800 pages to find out almost nothing - pretty cheap trick from Mr. Erikson to ensure a million sequels. In which the same thing starts over again.

And finaly, since Gardens of the moon, there has been to much characher's invards thoughts, particularly consiting of cheap philosphy. Do we really need that in fantasy books? The whole series it starting to get a little bit to "outthere", to apstract, almost like he's losing touch with ceirtan forms of reality that are desirable in fantasy. Wonder if he'll come up with a fifth race now, that is even more ancients than the already superpowerfull ons that followed them.

This book is the first where i actually started to skip pages because it was to boring and pointless...i knew i wouldn't miss anything since the story drags so. Well, the whole Mhybe thing in the third book was wreched as well, but there were other charachters that more than made up for it.

Those are the bad things, however there is a lot of good things that continue over from previous books so by now you should know them. Overall i love this series and will place an order for books 5&6, hoping they will be as good as book number 1, or at least not as bad as book number 4. Thou i was shocked some people dare compare it to Martin. We need faster turn of events with less dancing around the subject, charachters we love on regulars basis, less introspection of such constant basis and more substance and conclusion per book. Then we can talk about this series being a contender for top3 places of modern epic fantasy.

4 out of 5 stars If you made it this far, by all means go on.......2007-07-24

The Malazan series redefines the meanings of "grand" and "epic" in fantasy- the scale of Erikson's endeavor is breathtaking.

Karsa Orlong's character arc (which gets quite a bit of screen time) was interesting to follow in this volume, and the reader isn't swamped with as many new characters as in the previous volumes. Erikson's books take a long time for the plot to build momentum--reading Memories of Ice sometimes felt like a long, wearing treck before reaching the thrilling resolution-- but by focusing on fewer plot threads, the Houe of Chains begins to "pay out" much sooner.

Yet while I'm enjoying these doorstopper novels, it is with a mild interest. The Malazan series certainly has a devout fan following, but it does not have a universal appeal for all fantasy readers. And if you've read the first three books of the series, you probably know whether or not you're a fan.

House of Chains is more tightly knit than its predecessors (despite its gargantuan size) and I've enjoyed it best of the four Malazan books I've read at this point. If you liked Memories of Ice and Deadhouse Gates, then you won't be disappointed by House of Chains. However, if reading the first 3000 pages of the Malazan series has been more of a chore than a pleasure, don't expect anything radically different from book four; rather, see if you like the writing of George R. R. Martin or R. Scott Bakker better instead.

4 out of 5 stars The Teblor: Giants among men.......2007-04-29

With each book in the series I am coming to enjoy Erikson more and more. With House of Chains we see new characters and races introduced with ease, fitting perfectly within the story. With some authors inserting new characters, and more so races, slows the pace down and oftentimes makes the story disjointed and unreal, as real as fantasy can be that is. But Erikson does it with ease as the Teblor, Liosan and other people are introduced.

The beginning of the book is different than Erikson's normal style, but this is done just as well! As we watch the Teblor we feel that sense of awe at such a powerful character, we see the difference between the Teblor and everyone else. This is one of the reasons I enjoy Erikson so much because he is able to write about gods and goddesses, mages, warlocks and other larger than life characters and make them really and truly seem larger than life. His descriptions show us why they are as powerful as they are and we can believe it, which is the important element to making this work.

With House of Chains we see all of this. Especially with Karsa Orlong in the thick of things. One downside to this epic series that Erikson is creating is that there are so many characters and there is nothing to reference them. There is a list of characters in the back, but this is just that, a list. I oftentimes found I could not remember why such and such character is important from the previous books, or the myth or legend revolving around something. The book is still good, but I wish there was something to help the flow from one sweeping book to the next.

All in all, a definite recommend.

4 stars.

5 out of 5 stars Fantastic..Buy all the Erikson you can find..........2007-03-31

I have thoroughly enjoyed each of his novels, and THe House Of Chains is no exception. He continues his unique blend of fantastic, almost poetic prose and uses it to convey the gritty realism of a bloody and violent war.

5 out of 5 stars Amazing series soldiers on........2007-02-28

Steven Erikson, House of Chains (Tor, 2002)

Steven Erikson and George R. R. Martin released Memories of Ice and A Storm of Swords, the third massive novels in their respective fantasy series, within a year of one another. Both turned out to be one of the best books released in their respective years, and solidified the two series as two of the foremost works in the genre.

Martin took five years to deliver novel number four (and, as of this writing, novel number five is nowhere in sight), and it turned out to be, in the eyes of most critics (and not an inconsiderable number of his fans), a vast letdown after the brilliance of the first three novels. Erikson, on the other hand, delivered book number four less than eighteen months later, and The Malazan Book of the Fallen (which is unfortunately the victim of a long and completely inexplicable lag in publishing in America; House of Chains is newly-released in America as of November 2006, while England and Canada will be seeing book seven in April 2007) just kept roaring along at the same breakneck pace.

The disparate threads that have been explored in previous novels are beginning to come together now, as what's left of the Bridgeburners, the Malazan's army on Genabackis, and Sha'ik's Army of the Whirlwind all move towards collision for very different reasons. The Tiste Edur and T'lan Imass, who have been bit players throughout, get a little more exploration here, and we're introduced to the Tiste Liosan, the light-aspected brothers of the Edur and the Andii. As always, there's a vast web of plots, subplots, sub-sub-plots, and farther on down the line at work here, not only in Erikson's structuring of the book but in the motivations of his characters, as well. Sometimes it's hard to believe that in Erikson's cast-of-thousands universe, there's a single character on whom Erikson hasn't written a full biography in his notes. It's the attention to detail that makes these books so fantastic, and fantastic it is. This is another incredible novel. If you haven't made Erikson's acquaintance yet, you owe it to yourself to do so. **** ½

3 out of 5 stars A long ride, not always rewarding, but not a complet loss.......2006-12-08

This Saga of the Renunciates, makes only any sense if read all togheter. Dismiss all those comments that say you can enter Darkover at any novel.
And this books are a proof of that. "Shattered" is a short novel, almost nothing realy important happens, is just an introduction for the characters. "Thendara" is long book about the lead roles, Lorne and Jael, and as all this saga, this is a story about two particular beings, and has no impact on big planetary scale, or in Darkover history. Altough very long, I found the books very adult oriented, and heartbroken, wich made me feel the troubles and sorrows of this two girls. I was amaze how Bradley managed to pull me inn with her view of the woman`s world. "Sorcery" on the other hand is an adventure driven story, and is very entertaining. (spoilers head) But the end is somehow dissapointing, more even so, considering that is the end of all the saga. It took some time to read them all, (one after the other, I might add) and I felt exausted at end, but somehow altough this is not best on Darkover, I end up missing those the girls.

5 out of 5 stars Riveting and memorable...definitely worth your time.......2006-08-07

I wasn't sure what to expect going into this book - I loved Mists of Avalon, but wasn't fond of the other Avalon books. I wanted to like Darkover, but the two other Darkover novels I read (Stormqueen and Hawkmistress) didn't appeal to me much.

And then I began The Shattered Chain.

It started off exactly as I'd feared it would - a band of Amazons (just...read the other reviews for technical details) walk into a town and are laughed and jeered at by the men and treated with greater hostility by the women. I thought at this point that the book would be full of "Woman Power" and show how strong these Independent Women had to be to exist on a world like Darkover.

But the novel quickly became something more than that. I felt that it greatly picked up when we were introduced to Magda, the Terran - because for the Terrans, men and women are pretty much equal. And this viewpoint GREATLY helped balance out the supressing Darkover views, and made them not just bearable, but interesting. The resulting main plotline between the Terrans and Darkover people, with the Amazons building the bridge between the two worlds...it was pretty awesome. And of course there's all the subplots, and the huge personal developments taking place within the two main characters: the Terran woman and the Amazon one.

This book has some good action scenes, but the major focus is definitely on the characters themselves, and their relationships to one another and the world. Normally I would stay away from something like that, but the Terran/Darkover worlds created here are so interesting that it's pretty much impossible to not be caught up in it.

It had great, memorable characters, a great plot, and scenes you'll remember for a long, long time. I'd say it's definitely worth a read for anybody who likes fantasy/sci-fi...and books in general.

5 out of 5 stars Terrific Darkover trilogy!.......2005-10-16

I've read most of the Darkover series during the last five yrs. I started off with MZBs Avalon books & ended up hooked on the Darkover series.
In many the Darkover books the renunciates (free amazons) are mentioned, but usually not in much detail. It was wonderful to stumble upon a whole trilogy of books about them. They explain
how & why the group started, and how they worked out a way to marginally fit into the society by being of service to both Darkovans & Terrans. I thoroughly enjoyed this series & would highly recommend it to any MZB fan.

5 out of 5 stars More than a fantastic novel, a manifesto.......2005-07-28

I am an avid MZB fan and have read most of her novels, but the Darkover series is the closest to my heart and The Saga of the Renunciates stands above all. This novel is more than just a story, deconstructing femininity is a central part of this trilogy: as a reader I found myself pondering the same questions that trouble the women on Darkover and thinking that eventhough they are only sci-fi characters, their insigth would change a lot of women.

The first novel is about a group of mercenary warrior women who hire themselves out to Lady Rohana to rescue her cousin from the Dry Towns, a country where married women are kept in chains. Rohana's cousin never makes it but she does bring back Jaelle, her 12 year old niece and a very unconfortable awareness of the invisible chains she has fashioned for herself.

In the 2nd part we meet Magda and Peter, two Darkover-born Terranan and the best spies the Empire has on Cottman 4. Altough Magda is the better agent, as a woman there is not much she can do outside HQ. When Peter goes missing on a mission and his superiors have no plans to rescue him Magda disguises herself as an Amazon and goes looking for him. All goes well until she meets some real Amazons whose leader is none other than a grown up Jaelle.

The final chapter in this story is about a journey to a mythical city in the enormous mountains of Darkover where an all-knowing sisterhood of wise women is supposed to be hidden from all but those by whom they wish to be seen. Jaelle leaves everything behind for even a chance to get there and Magda has no choice but to follow.

5 out of 5 stars Better on rereading.......2005-01-01

I read these 3 novels in the late 70's-early 80's and loved them...recently found the 3 novel compendium and enjoyed it more the second time around. What a wonderfully imagined world!! How I wish we had something like the Guild here on Earth! As an old feminist in my 70's, I cannot recommend them more highly...READ!!

5 out of 5 stars Must Have.......2007-02-01

I used this book as my primary reference to learn CCPM and guide me in leading a full implementation of Critical Chain PM across a complete portfolio of Pharmaceutical development projects. The author has taken his extensive experience in PM, TQ, TOC, and PMBOK to first show the reader how these methodologies weave together and then presents a clear and easy to follow walk through of the application of CCPM at the project and portfolio levels. If you are serious about leading edge PM, this is a must have reference.

2 out of 5 stars A long read on an interesting topic.......2007-01-17

I have always been interested in Critical Chain from a PM perspective and, more generally, the concept of Theory of Constraints. I thought this book would be a great way to extend my knowledge of ToC and to learn about how to move away from critical path.

The real meat of this book doesn't even kick in until about Chapter 4. Prior, there are lots of thoughts about the many sins of "critical path" and how we're all doomed to failure if we don't change our ways. Then, the book starts to get into how to actually use the technique. It's a long discussion... without a lot of "knowledge checks" to make sure you understand what is going on. There are technical diagrams, lots of them, many of them without a whole lot of explanation. I found myself occasionally having to re-read sections two or three times to really understand what the author was driving at.

I'm sure this is a practical book if used as a "complete reference" but in my opinion it's not a good guide for someone who wants to understand the basics quickly and then gain extensive knowledge of the topic over time.

4 out of 5 stars Good follow-on reading after Goldratt about CCPM.......2006-03-17

While not a devotee of critical chain project management (CCPM), I embrace several features of the approach.

Overall, this is a fine book despite some typos and minor organization flaws.

Mr. Leach has been promoting, teaching, and consulting in this area for years. It appears that the book is intended to complement his training and consulting---and that's okay. Anecdotes are frequently from questions arising at training or during client implementations. His experience shows.

Leach works to integrate concepts from theory of constraints (Goldratt), Project Management Institute's "PMBOK® Guide," lean manufacturing, and Six Sigma. He does this reasonably well, building upon and extending the foundation laid by Goldratt.

Some standout features of the book include a) implmentation barriers and issues; b) table of project model (logic) checks; and c) extensive notes and a chapter on implmentation.
----------
The first reading about CCPM should always be "Critical Chain" (1997) by E. Goldratt. This is an easy, insightful reading, by the guy that popularized (invented?) CCPM.

Then, before attempting implementation, I suggest studying Larry Leach's (this)book. Another credible guide is "Project Management in the Fast Lane: Applying the Theory of Constraints" (1998) by Robert Newbold

2 out of 5 stars 7 pages of errata - RIDICULOUS.......2005-12-17

There are 7 PAGES of errata for this title. http://www.artechhouse.com/GetBLOB.asp?Name=leach%20errata.pdf
Many of the critical figures are simply broken. Figure 3.2 for example is supposed to contrast a critical chain project chart with a critical path project chart, but the figures are identical.
This severely degrades the utility of this book. I just called Artech House (publisher) and they stated that as of Dec 16, 2005 there is NOT a printing of the book out that corrects these egregious errors. This is ridiculous given the severity of the errors and the fact that it was printed in February 2005.
Aside from that, the content of the book is good.

5 out of 5 stars New Edition Provides and Excellent Overview.......2005-03-18

If not the actual father of CCPM, Mr. Leach is at least the midwife who has championed its cause, written the book, given the talks and done more to bring it to life than anyone else. In this new book, the second edition, updates and expands on the first edition based on new research and on feedback from readers.

Often resistance to a new concept comes from the "we've always done it this way" crowd. If you are new to CCPM, you might consider it an extension to CPM where additional factors like resource and task logic constraints are also taken into account.

The first four chapters of this book present an excellent overview of how it works. The first three chapters primarily discuss CPM and point out areas of potential trouble. The fourth chapter presents a complete single-project solution that compares CPM with CCPM and clearly illustrates the advantages.

              Book Description

              In Northern Genabackis, just before the events recounted in Gardens of the Moon, a tribal raiding party descends into the southern flat lands intent on wreaking havoc. But for the one named Karsa Orlong it marks the beginning of what will prove an extraordinary destiny.

              Some years later, Tavore, recently appointed Adjunct to the Empress, has arrived in the last Malazan stronghold on Seven Cities. New to command, she must hone twelve thousand soldiers, into a force capable of confronting the massed hordes of the seer Sha’ik’s Whirlwind who lie in the heart of the Holy Desert.

              But waiting is never easy. The tribal chiefs are locked in a power struggle that threatens the very soul of the rebellion, while Sha’ik herself is haunted by the knowledge of her nemesis, Tavore, her own sister…

              So begins this awesome epic novel of war, intrigue, magic and betrayal from a writer regarded as one of the most original and exciting storytellers in fantasy today.

              awesome. do yourself a favour and get into this series. Erickson will throw you for a loop every time. And he actually seems to be sticking with his publishing deadlines. A massive series filled with horror, brutality, darkness and war but also humour, faith, hope and awe. This is a great 4th book that leaves you dying for the 5th.

              A truely engrossing series. However, this can be a very daunting book for those who are not familiar with the earlier titles. The number of characters and plot twists are vast and complex. However, for those of you who enjoy a mature and gritty story of epic proportions - there is no better. Don't go to Erikson's world with expectations of Tolkien. This is a much tougher, dirtier place, with large, but also deeper characters. Enjoy
