Night of Knives - Ian C Esslemont

Night of Knives is the first novel by Canadian author Ian Cameron Esslemont. It is set in the world of the Malazan Book of the Fallen, a ten-volume epic fantasy series by Esslemont's friend and colleague Steven Erikson. Esslemont and Erikson co-created the Malazan world in the 1980s.

Night of Knives was first published in the United Kingdom by PS Publishing in September 2004 as a limited hardcover. A paperback edition followed in May 2006. Bantam, who publish Steven Erikson's Malazan novels, published Night of Knives in hardcover on 7 May 2007 and in mass-market paperback on 5 May 2008. Its first U.S. publication will be a Tor Books simultaneous hardcover and trade paperback release in May 2009.

Night of Knives is the first of six (as of 2014) novels by Esslemont to take place in the Malazan world.

The novel is set in the 24 hours when the Emperor of the Malazan Empire is (allegedly) murdered. Chronologically, it takes place after the prologue to Erikson's Gardens of the Moon but before the main body of the novel. Several characters and locations which appear in Night of Knives also appear in Erikson's The Bonehunters.

About this torrent:
This is a DAISY audio book - not the greatest to listen as its much more monotone than typical brilliance or other professional narrating companies. But it's the only one in existence as far as I can tell! Hoping I can dig up the rest of Esslemonts as well - if they've been narrated I'll find em eventually!! If anyone finds where Esslemonts audiobook are or can be purchased, please let me know!
