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 (

Spoiler

"The uprising in the Seven Cities is over, Sha'ik is dead."

).
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 XD

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.

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.

That would strike me as weird, as I own the book that the art was originally on. You'd think there'd be enough new Erikson-themed art out there, and I would like to see it.

"The War of the Sisters"????

That's just lame.

"The Icy Time" is pretty bad too.
