Random House has posted information and an excerpt from the first chapter of the Infernal City, a novel based on the Elder Scrolls. The same Elder Scrolls that is the popular game from Bethesda. This is the first of two books that will be based in the Elder Scrolls world.
The book is written by New York Times bestselling author, Greg Keyes. The novel will be available on November 24, 2009 but you can pre-order at various book retail stores now.
A preview excerpt is up here and gives you a slight indication as to how the book will be.

Are you in the mood for some reading that’s a bit heavier than the video game news post you’re currently digesting? We suggest you check out this Random House page to read an excerpt from the first chapter of the Elder Scrolls-based novel, The Infernal City. The few pages of text introduce us to what will likely be the book’s plucky protagonists, Annaïg and Mere-Glim.
It’s a pretty intriguing kick-off for the novel’s plot — however, the excerpt doesn’t exactly sound like our usual experience in the Elder Scrolls world. See, in our version, the heroes would systematically rob everyone on the planet blind, and then, once bored with that, would just start killin’. It may not win any Pulitzers, but at least it’s authentic.
