Wheel Of Time Author Robert Jordan Dies

I ran out of book once and decided to read the wheel of time, I didn't really enjoy it that much to begin with but after I got halfway through I was hooked like a small guppie destined for the maw of a wiley bird...

Anyway I read them all and I really do want to know what happened, I never knew Michael Jordan and so I mourn the missing book, If it doesn't get released soon I think I will have to make up my own book 12 in my head..

fear not though remember this has happened many times before, Mervyn Peake's "Titus Alone" was reconstructed by Langdon Jones from sparse notes and though it lacked the richness in descriptive text It was still the story and I still enjoyed it......

I have been enjoying RJ's books for the last few months and I am now up to and enjoying book six. I can't believe he passed away last year! My deepest sympathies to the Jordan Family who have lost a very special and magical person. God bless! Mel

thought it was about time for the twelth book of WOT, so did some googleing. needless to say i'm devastated. didn't know mr. jordan had passed and its been over a year since he has. my condolences to the family. robert jordan was by far my favorite author. used the name rahvin to name my daughter, we pronounce it "raven" but i thought the uniqueness would be interesting. thank you so much for finishing the 12th book. can't wait till release in 2009. and most importantly, thank you to robert jordan for the pleasure and enrichment that was given to the millions of fans.

how sad to here of his passing, what a great author he was.
the wheel of time series is unmatched by any other in it genre
if only it could be finished

Today I learned about Robert Jordan's death. I was just wondering about the release date for number 12. In the words of my favorite author Kurt Vonnegut, "So it goes"

I just rememberd the great author today i.e. 2nd October 2008, and felt that we lost a great author as we lost a great father of nation in india who was born on this day. I hope the person who is given the oppurtunity to finish the 12th book will do justice as Mr. Jordan does to all his books . I am a geat fan of his. May his soul rest in peace.

TOLKIN DIED BEFOR HE FINISHED THE "THE LORD OF THE RINGS"
HIS SON FINISHED THE SAGA, FROM HIS NOTES.

LET'S HOPE FOR THE BEST.

GOD SPEED TO ROBERT AND PEACE TO HIS HIS FAMILY

if what i gathered from reading all of your comments is true than i cant wait for the 12th book to be published, i just finished the first book, and my friend told me about his health problem but didnt know if he actually was dead. i have to say that after reading Goodkinds Sword of Truth, and now reading the WOT series that RJ is a supurb author, i just wish i knew about him a lot earlier, no matter great works never die.

im really sad to hear about this, he was a great writer, and im sorry for his family's loss, he will be greatly missed upon this world.

Like the writer above, I was searching for book 12 when I disovered the sad news. To me, the key to Robert's writing is not the quality of the prose but, like Tolkien, the richness of the imagination and the development of the characters. By the end of book 11, I felt that I knew them and they were so likeable (Matt in particular). Hats of to a true giant of storytelling!!! Tony, UK.

Imagine my surprise to find out my favourite author is no more. Although I live way out in Malaysia, Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time is very well known here. I got my first book from the public library in a small town in Perlis. I was immediately hooked and started hunting for the rest of the series diligently. I was trying to find out when the 12th book will be released when i find out that RJ has passed on. The world has really lost a great author. I would like to extend my condolence to his family although it is one year late. RJ is not only known in the western coutries but also is famous in Asean countries specifically in Penang Malaysia.

i have been reading robert jordans work for a long time from conan the barbarian stories to the wheel of time he is definitly one of the best authors of all time i will miss him and wish his family all the best.MARTY

I didn't know of him, until now. I was looking for a list of authors, whose first name began with Robert and Raymond.

To hell with all that. I put half my goddam life into this series. Someone get an effing quiji board or get that jerk off who talks to dead people on TV and find out how it ends. Dammit!!!


I'm sorry for your loss, those of you who knew the man
but seriously, I need an ending. Why couldn't Stephen King have gone instead?

Iam so sorry to hear of Robert Jordans passing,I spent the weekend looking for a release date for book 12 and found out that he had gone.
His books have given me great joy and escape over time.
He will be greatly missed and my deepest heart felt sympathies go out to his family.

i first discovered his books in the early 1990's and the eye of the world caught my attention...
i have read alot of fantasy in my 38 years of life.
and really in my opinion jordan way one of the best writers of fantasy..
i hv read all of his books in the whell of time series, and i will miss that a great deal knowing that there will be only one more book comming out
sorry to hear of his death i was wondering why another book had not shown up i just wanted to say i will miss him a great deal...

I been hooked to the WoT series for a good bit and I was looking on the internet today to see if i could find a release date for the 12th book when to my dismay i find that Robert Jordan the author to this very compeling series has died. I was saddin by this news cause i fell as i come to know RJ through his writings which is a testament to what a great writer he was.It will be bitter sweat when the 12th book is released in the fall 2009 but I look foward to reading and finding out how it all ends. Today was a sad day heres to a better tomarrow. R.I.P RJ

I am hoping that someone is allowed to pick up his notes and complete the Wheel of Time series. There is surely enough research material available. When Brian Herbert began researching his father's notes he found enough material for many books. I would like to see the work finished. I think this would be a fitting tribute to Robert Jordan.

I was saddened by The Passing of RJ. I've read all 11 books and was excited about the 12th and last . I think what kept me intrigued was his very extensive style of writing. I will look for the last edition with great expectations, i'm sure that it will be in his style for i believe his spirit will be with his family

I just finished the 11th Audiobook this morning, on my way to work.
I found this series while searching for something to listen to since my commute was so long and about to grow longer. After listening to the 1st book I joined an online bookclub and have used all my monthly free selections for this series. I have been living and breathing this story, for months. Only getting 3 to 4 hours of listening in a day. I couldn't wait to have to drive somewhere. I even made sure my new car would connect to my IPod easily. An option I wasn't living without. I kept checking the bookclub and stores to make sure 11 books were the entire series. but saw nothing to tell me otherwise I started listening in small bits to keep the book from finishing. I kept thinking how is this the end there is so much more! I need to know. I am at a loss today. I find out only today Mr. Jordan is no longer with us. My deepest sympathy's to the family. I did read the obit. With all the respect of a fellow military person. (with tears in my eyes) ~I stand at attention and give my finest salute~ 'Fromt he bottom of my heart Thank you for fighting for our country in the worst of times and making it home, and to continue to give by creating the wonderful 'Wheel of Time Series'

I just turned a friend on to the first 3 books last month as a birthday gift. She loves to read, but has never tried a fantasy epic. She has turned into a true and welcome fan to this story and has brought me great delight in talking about her insights into what is to her, a new world. I have read these 11 books over and over since the first.

I'm only now finding out about Mr. Jordan's passing and I find it so hard to believe. I feel bad that I never knew about it.

To his family, you have my deepest and sincere condolences.
Robert Jordan will be missed.

I pulled book 1 from my library shelf this morning to begin again.

i, like all of you, am an adoring fan of Robert Jordan's works.
The Wheel of Time was my escape from reality, reading about a world i could only wish to live in....i lived, breathed, and dreamt The Wheel of Time.
this series influence my whole perspective on life and how it should be lived. some people have religion to turn to for spiritual guidence, for me, The Wheel of Time filled that gap, allowing me to imagine.


i am only 16, but Robert Jordan and his tallent shall stay with me for life.

Author Brandon Sanderson has been selected to finish the Wheel of Time series. The last book will be entitled "A MEMORY OF LIGHT" and will be edited by Jordan's own wife; as were all his previous books. Jordan has revealed at length to family members how the story ends. Wife and editor Hariet: “Some scenes were completed by Robert Jordan, and some exist in draft form; he left copious notes and hours of audio recordings.�

Homer? Who is Homer?

Just found out to today, So sorry for his family and friend's. Its hard to know what to say when you have never meet the person but you know the person. To do this you have to be a good man I think? He lived life to the full.
I first read one of his novel's years ago and that got me hooked. So the least i can do is write a few lines myself to say thanks for all those times he took me away to a diffrent world.

God Bless him.

Im not going to lie. These books have been a big part of my life. Im 17 and have been realing and rereading the sieres for years now. I can tell by te way he wrote that he must have been an amazing person, and so i can safely say that who ever knew him it must have been an honnor to do so and the passing on of such a great person must have been felt very deeply indeed. But he is back in the mothers last embrace. But even with the news of his death filling me with despair i am still profoundly eager to read the twelth book when it come out.
