Book by Steven Erikson
Midnight Tides is the fifth volume of Canadian author Steven Erikson's epic fantasy series, the Malazan Book of the Fallen.[1] Although it is part of the larger series, it contains limited references to the earlier books.[2] However, it is not a stand-alone volume, as the events of Reaper's Gale and Dust of Dreams follow directly from it.
The novel was first published in the United Kingdom as a hardcover on 1 March 2004, followed by a mass-market paperback edition on 1 March 2005. The first American edition was released on 17 April 2007.[2][3]
