About this Book
As we all know, Robert Jordan passed away in September, 2007. The book he was working on, A Memory of Light, which was intended to be the twelth and final novel in The Wheel of Time series, was incomplete at the time of his passing. He left behind a staggering amount of notes on the world, as well as some written chapters for the final book. In addition, for the parts of the story he did not have documented in written form, he passed on in the good, old fashioned way: he told people the story.
In his last days he told the story to his friends and family, who recorded it onto tape. In the months that followed his death, Harriet McDougal, Robert Jordan's beloved wife and editor, put together a comprehensive outline of this final book.
Brandon Sanderson, an up-and-coming fantasy writer (and long-time fan of Robert Jordans's) was chosen by Harriet to bring the outline to life in the form of a published novel. Harriet will edit these book, just as she did the rest of the series.
In March 2009, it was announced that A Memory of Light was going to be far too long to contain into a single novel and would be published as three seperate novels instead. This was primarily a creative decision, and not a business one. (For a full explanation of why this decision was made, please read Brandon's blog post on the topic).
The final three books will be:
1. The Gathering Storm
2. Shifting Winds (Working title... Brandon says it WILL change!)
3. Tarmon'Gaidon (Working title - alt title: A Memory of Light)
It was originally discussed that these books would be written as one book that was simply divided. This is NOT the case. Each book will be its own independent novel, with its own story and chracter arcs.
When will it be published?
The Gathering Storm will be published on Tuesday, October 27, 2009. This is directly in line with the intial speculation that the book would be published in the Fall of 2009. (See the count-down widget on this page)
The timeframe for the remaining novels is currently unknown. Brandon Sanderson is currently working on completing them. For frequent updates directly from Brandon, be sure to visit his website (www.brandonsanderson.com) and read his blog.
