Wheel of Time...Follow

Whelp for all of us who like Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time saga, it will never come to an end. Robert Jordan died on Sunday afternoon. His last hours of life were spent talking into a tape recorder to get everything about the final book out before he passed on.

I'm hoping that he left enough in the way of notes for someone to continue his work and finish the final book.

Above you will find the story about his death and a post by his family at Dragonmount on his blog.

But it might be better. The last few books were just so convoluted and roundabout that it's almost worth not finishing the series.

I really wouldn't count on that though. Not with a series like this.

It could even get worse, in analogy with Dune, a new author (or couple of them) might even decide to first write two prequel trilogies and have those become the center point of the final book.

I do hope for the fans of WoT that this doesn't happen, I really do.

Well, his Star Wars trilogy sequels to the movies wasn't all that bad.

Definitely not compared to some of his other books like "Angelmass" or "Manta gift".

Zahn or Anderson, we ought to start a poll about it, which would be worst to complete WoT?

It's still the only decent enough book I've read of him though. Granted, some parts of it were pretty bad, but much better than a lot of SW books that were published later on.

I always was a good swimmer, must have helped

Most likely! Best part about that is afterwards hearing Salvatore whine about how that should never have happened and it was a bad part of the tale. He only wrote it himself.
