Ian Cameron’ Esslemont’s _Orb Sceptre Throne_\* is out seemingly everywhere except the US. You can read the prologu on [Tor.com here](http://www.tor.com/stories/2012/04/orb-sceptre-throne-excerpt). It seems we’ll be finding out what happened in Darujistan after the death of Anomander Rake. Oh and the Segulah look likely to be in it as well.

As an unabashed Malazan junky I’m stoked and can’t wait for it to arrive. I’m probably in the minority but I’ve preferred the Esslemont’s books to Erikson’s since about \*Toll the Hounds \*. Anyone else looking forward to going back to Genabackis?

\*Awful title by the way, it seems to need some punctuation to me.
