![]()
It is an undeniable truth: give evil a name and everyone's happy. Give it two names and . . . why, they're even happier.The intrepid necromancers Bauchelain and Korbal Broach, scourges of civilization, raisers of the dead, reapers of the souls of the living, devourers of hope, betrayers of faith, slayers of the innocent and modest personifications of evil, have a lot to answer for and answer they will. Known as the Nehemoth, they are pursued by countless self-professed defenders of decency, sanity and civilization. After all, since when does evil thrive unchallenged? Well, often: but not this time.Hot on their heels are the Nehemothanai, avowed hunters of Bauchelain and Korbal Broach. In the company of a gaggle of artists and pilgrims, stalwart Mortal Sword Tulgord Vise, pious Well Knight Arpo Relent, stern Huntsman Steck Marynd, and three of the redoubtable Chanter brothers (and their lone sister) find themselves faced with the cruelest of choices. The legendary Cracked Pot Trail, a stretch of harsh wasteland between the Gates of Nowhere and the Shrine of the Indifferent God, has become a tortured path of deprivation.Will honour, moral probity and virtue prove champions in the face of brutal necessity? No, of course not. Don't be silly.

But we all know, the world is inherited by the obnoxious, not the righteous.'
'What are you, my little sister?' Koryk demanded. He then mimed Smiles's voice. 'He didn't shake his baby-maker when he'd done peeing, Sergeant! I saw it!
The Malazans are on our shore.
C'est impressionnant le nombre de citations que je garde dans un coin de ma mémoire. Et encore, je vous épargne les échanges entre Tehol et Bugg, toujours aussi croustillants.
