Fantasy writer Robert Jordan, born 1948, died today, September 16, 2007, at the age of 58. Jordan was the pen-name of James Oliver Rigney, Jr. He was author of the bestselling Wheel of Time series that began in 1990 with The Eye of the World and continued 11 volumes through Knife of Dreams in 2005, plus prequel volume New Spring (2004). A twelfth volume, A Memory of Light, remains uncomplete. Before that series Jordan wrote the Michael Fallon historical romance trilogy and seven Conan novels, from Conan the Invincible (1982) through Conan the Victorious (1984). This is very sad  |

This is sad news, sparhawk. Robert Jordan was a terrific writer and a great man. He will be missed. It seems all the greats are leaving us.

Sad news indeed. Robert Jordan will be missed. His books always seemed underappreciated for what he achieved. What does it mean for Wheel of time?

"The Wheel of Time" will be finished, by his wife, I guess. She knows the end, Mr. Jordan told her. Still, it is very sad. |

Would be excellent to hold the final book... I have been trying to determine if the book in progess is the final one for sure. I hope it is and that it was near completion.

Can anyone tell me definitively the title of the final book? I heard different things so I don't know which to believe.
