Malazan goodies

The publication of The Crippled God is set for early year so it's high time we see the cover art and Pat has it on his blog. I wonder what is raising there in flames and who is facing it. I suppose it'll become clear when I'll read the book. I can't wait even though the knowladge it is the end feels me with sadness. Good there are still more Malazan books to come - first Ian Cameron Esselmont's Stonewielder in two months or so and then 2 more of his books and then Erikson promised us the story of Anomander Rake.

Pat has not only the cover for the last book in main Malazan series but also the map of Land of Fist and he has already read ICE's Stonwielder. He will most likely also get ARC of The Crippled God. He even got an answer from Esselmont about where Stonewielder fits into the timeline. I can understand he got tired of keeping his blog but why would anyone giving up all this.
