Robert Jordan's "Wheel of Time" saga comes full circle
chronicle
since Tolkien � died two years ago at age 58, he left behind his
"Wheel of Time" saga, unfinished.
Begun in 1990 with "The Eye of the World", the epic tale mixing myth,
religion and an ongoing battle to save the world from The Shadow grew
to include 11 novels, a prequel and more than 30 million books in
print.
This week, "The Gathering Storm" (Amazon.com:
http://xrl.us/GatheringStorm ), the 12th book in the series, hits
stores. There is a new name on the jacket alongside Jordan's: Brandon
Sanderson. The 33-year-old author of Mistborn and other fantasy novels
was chosen to complete the novel by Jordan's widow, Harriet McDougal,
who edited all of her husband's books.
"It was truly (Jordan's) great work and his life's work," McDougal
says. Until the week before he died on Sept. 16, 2007, of a rare blood
disease called amyloidosis, Jordan was telling his wife "what the
series needed to be completed."

I just want to know whether he was still typing when they nailed down
the lid of his coffin.
If he wasn't, then that's another lie Jordan told us! Right,
Taimandretards?
