The first three tales of Bauchelain and Korbal Broach, the famed
necromancers from the Malazan Book of the Fallen, collected in one
volume.
BLOOD FOLLOWS
In the port city of Lamentable Moll, a diabolical killer stalks the
streets and panic grips the citizens like a fever. As Emancipor Reese's
legendary ill luck would have it, his previous employer is the unknown
killer's latest victim. But two strangers have come to town and they
have posted in Fishmonger's Round a note, reeking of death-warded magic,
requesting the services of a manservant...
THE HEALTHY DEAD
The city of Quaint's zeal for goodness can be catastophic, and no one
knows this better than Bauchelain and Korbal Broach, two stalwart
champions of all things bad.The homicidal necromancers - and their
substance-addled manservant, Emancipor Reese - find themeselves ensnared
in a scheme to bring goodness into utter ruination. Sometimes you must
bring down civilization...in the name of civilization.
THE LEES OF LAUGHTER'S END
After their blissful sojourn in Lamentable Moll, the sorcerors
Bauchelain and Korbal Broach - along with their manservant, Emancipor
Reese -set out on the open seas aboard the sturdy ship Suncurl. Alas,
there's more baggage in the hold than meets the beady eyes of the crew,
and unseemly terrors awaken. For Bauchelain, Korbal Broach and Emancipor
Reese, it is just one more night on the high seas, on a journey without
end.
