Upon a Dark of Evil Overlords
A novella.
Upon a Dark of Evil Overlords is the seventh novella in the Bauchelain & Korbal Broach series by Steven Erikson.
Emancipor Reese was pretty certain he’d been a child once, long ago in the coastal city of Lamentable Moll. But lately, his imagination had been failing in his recreation of it. All of his memories of those years were blurs in his mind. These days, when he struggled to recall his childhood, he had to imagine himself looking at things from knee-height, which more or less worked but still left him unsatisfied, as most of his memories of being on his knees involved being drunk and puking his guts out. He was fairly certain he hadn’t found himself in that position as a child. Then again, anything was possible.
