Product Description
About the Author
Robert Jordan was born in 1948 in Charleston, South Carolina. He taught himself to read when he was four with the incidental aid of a twelve-years-older brother, and was tackling Mark Twain and Jules Verne by five. He is a graduate of The Citadel, the Military College of South Carolina, with a degree in physics. He served two tours in Vietnam with the U.S. Army; among his decorations are the Distinguished Flying Cross with bronze oak leaf cluster, the Bronze Star with "V" and bronze oak leaf cluster, and two Vietnamese Gallantry Crosses with palm. A history buff, he has also written dance and theater criticism and enjoyed the outdoor sports of hunting, fishing, and sailing, and the indoor sports of poker, chess, pool, and pipe collecting.
Robert Jordan began writing in 1977 and went on to write The Wheel of Time®, one of the most important and best selling series in the history of fantasy publishing with over 14 million copies sold in North America, and countless more sold abroad.
Robert Jordan died on September 16, 2007, after a courageous battle with the rare blood disease amyloidosis.

I am in the 6th book and still find it satisfying. The characters are intricate and believable. The settings fit to each other and there is enough action to keep one turning the page.

As much as some people turn a blind eye, this is a time of impending doom - the relative calm before the Gathering Storm. (See what I did there?) It is time for decisive action, and for everyone to work cooperatively in order to fight the Shadow! Like that'll happen. :)

I literally do not have any adjectives for how incredible the Wheel of Time books are. Buy them all and read them immediately. That is all you need to know.
