Rest in peace, Jordan...these books are amazing, and won't soon be forgotten by anyone who's read them. "James Oliver Rigney Jr, author of the long-running fantasy series The Wheel of Time and better known to millions of fans by the pen name Robert Jordan, died on 16 Sept 2007 from cardiac amyloidosis. Jordan announced he had been diagnosed with the disease in March 2006 and vowed to beat the odds, but determination and gumption sometimes just aren't enough in the face of a disease with a median survival time of just over two years. Jordan was in the process of writing the twelfth and final book in the Wheel of Time series, 'A Memory of Light', but the book was not slated for release until 2009 and is still incomplete. While there is hope that the book will still be finished from Jordan's notes, this is devastating news to all of us who have been reading the series since 1990." Fortunately, he left a whole lot of notes and everything on how he wanted the rest of the book done, incase he didn't make it. His wife helped him with the other books, so she'll be finishing the last one for him. It won't be the same, but no one will ever be able to write quite like Jordan did.
