- Steven Erikson se ve skutečnosti jmenuje Steve Rune Lundin. Pseudonym si zvolil podle rodného jména své matky, milovnice dobrodružných románů. Narodil se v kanadském Torontu v roce 1959. Vystudoval paleontologii a 18 let jezdil po vykopávkách v Jižní a Střední Americe. Tak poznal i svou ženu. Spolu se přestěhovali do Anglie, kde však nemohl najít odpovídající místo, takže byl nucen vykonávat různé kancelářské práce. S těmi mohl praštit až ve chvíli, kdy jeho Měsíční zahrady sklidily obrovský úspěch. Autorova popularita má i svou příjemnou stranu – patří k nejlépe placeným autorům tohoto žánru. Nyní se věnuje pouze psaní, jeho cyklus Malazská Kniha padlých má už osm dílů (z plánovaných deseti). Napsal i humornou novelu Potoky krve, popisující dobrodružství nekromantů Korbala a Bauchelaina a jejich lokaje.
Jeho oblíbenými autory jsou například Tom Clancy, Robert Ludlum, Stephen King, Glen Cook a Ursula Le Guinová. V oblibě má i RPG hry, vycházející ze systému GURPS. (Fantasy Planet) - Disambiguation notice

Now then, the good. The setting is really interesting and the entire idea of this novel is much more engaging to me. I know that in the end its basically 800 pages of people wandering around in a desert and dying (literally it felt like everyone dies), but the stories around those people were much easier to identify with and understand.
And the last, I don't know, 10% of the book is just next level antics and stories coming together.
All in all, I really enjoy this world and the stories in it but Erikson's writing is always a little bit of a hurdle for me. I've heard the next book is the absolute best, so hopefully I'll gain some steam in my attempt to finish the series.… (more)
