Стивен Эриксон — канадский писатель-фантаст, по образованию археолог и антрополог. Родился и вырос в Канаде, некоторое время проживал в Великобритании, пытаясь найти там издателя для своей книги. Впоследствии вернулся в Канаду. Женат, имеет сына.

Автор нескольких фантастических романов и новелл, из которых на данный момент наиболее известна серия «Малазанская книга павших» .

Первоначально серия «Малазанская книга павших» была задумана в соавторстве с Ианом Эсслемонтом как сюжет для ролевой игры. Впоследствии часть сюжета была переработана в киносценарий, а затем — в роман, который был закончен ещё в 1991 году, но опубликован только в 1999. Тогда же Эриксон подписал контракт ещё на 9 книг.

По словам С. Эриксона, значительное влияние на его творчество оказали «Дюна» Ф. Герберта и романы Глена Кука: в своих книгах он пытается создать сложный мир, неожиданные события в котором должны поражать и развлекать читателя. Темы и сюжеты романов Эриксона отражают его интерес к археологии, мифологии, первобытной истории, истории Древнего Востока, Римской и Византийской империи. Wikipedia

“Discipline is as much facing the enemy within as the enemy before you; for without critical judgement, the weapon you wield delivers — and let us not be coy here — naught but murder. And its first victim is the moral probity of your cause.”

“Killers among your kind, among my kind, are just that — the savagery of beasts mated with intelligence, or what passes for intelligence. They dwell in a murky world, sir, confuse and fearful, stained dark with envy and malice. And in the end, they die as they lived. Frightened and alone, with every memory of power revealed as illusion, as farce.”

“History meant nothing, because the only continuity was human stupidity. Oh, there were moments of greatness, of bright deeds, but how long did the light of such glory last? From one breath to the next, aye, and no more than that. No more than that. As for the rest, kick through the bones and wreckage for they are what remain, what lasts until all turn to dust.”

SF Site Interview http://www.sfsite.com/06a/se82.htm

“This swirl of stars,' Draconus suddenly said, 'marks the plunge of light into darkness. These stars, they are distant suns, shihing their light down upon distant, unknown worlds. Worlds, perhaps, little different from this one. Or vastly different. It hardly matters. Each star swirls its path towards the centre, and at that centre is death - the death of light, the death of time itself.”

“Peace did not serve order; order served peace, and when order became godlike, sacrosant and inviolate, then the peace thus won became a prison, and those who sought their freedom became enemies to order, and in the elimination of such enemies, peace was lost.”

“Then, does everyone lives in fear?”

Steven Erikson книга Forge of Darkness

The firelight barely reached the huge man standing beside Raskan, and the deep voice that came from that vague shape sounded loose, unguarded. 'I would say, most of the time, yes. Fear that our opinion might be chalanged. Fear that our way of seeing things might be called ignorant, self-serving, or indeed evil. Fear for our persons. Fear for our future, our fate. Our moment of death. Fear of failing in all that we set out to achieve. Fear of being forgotten.'
