What the Hell!? Erikson or Cook?
www.amazon.de/Die-Feuer-Rebellion-Spiel ... 88-7348834
This book uses the cover of the Dread Empire books by Glen Cook, but has Steven Erikson's name on them. Apparently the title transfers to "Fires of the Rebellion" - no idea what that's supposed to be, maybe a different version of "Fire of His Hands."
All I can say is that there's a book called "Realm of Seven Cities" which is book 2 in the same series and has the DG cover. But, this one claims to be book 10 in the series? Wut?
EDIT-I am guessing the books are split into pieces or something. Still strange to see erikson's name on cook's cover.

The synopsis on Amazon is that for The Bonehunters ().
There's a tendency in foreign markets (France is most prone to this) of reusing the same cover art for different books. This looks to be a result of that. Don't know about the numbering--maybe the publisher decided to split the books up into smaller portions? This could, possibly, be just the Y'Ghatan storylines from BH, since the synopsis seems to have trimmed out the bits about war coming between the gods.

Ya, I actually just edited my post thinking they might have been split up. I still thought it was a funny decision on the publisher's part XDMurrin wrote:The synopsis on Amazon is that for The Bonehunters ().Spoiler

Yeah. I just bought a book with that cover the other day.
Mayber the choice of cover was because they knew of Cook's influence on Erikson. It would be too weird a coincidence otherwise...

okay all those german covers are bizarre.

and that's not what we brag about.

Hmm. Interesting way they've broken it up, and titles too. I think the series is called "[Game/Play] of Gods", and the books are split in two for all but the first; and after the first few, they name the second volume with the same titles as the English:
1. Gardens of the Moon
DG:
2. The [Empire/Nation/Realm] of Seven Cities
3. In the Spell of the Desert
MoI:
4. The Icy Time
5. The Day of Seers
HoC:
6. The War of the Sisters
7. House of Chains
MT:
8. Children of Shadow
9. Tides of the Night (Midnight Tides, obviously)
BH:
10. The Fires of Rebellion
11. The Bonehunters
RG:
12. The Golden Emperor
And it looks like part 2 of Reaper's Gale isn't on amazon yet.
