I discovered and began reading Robert Jordan's "Wheel of Time" Series about 5 Years ago,Enjoyed them,and have built up the full series of the books,up to and including #11...I was just resigned to waiting patiently until #12 appeared,and on a whim recently,did a Search on the Author,(I'd brought back a few of the books from visits to the US,and I'm currently planning another,so this was maybe where the idea came from) and I was shocked to realise He'd passed away last year...(R.I.P) I Honestly didn't know..Apparently He'd been working on the final book in the series while undergoing treatment for a Heart Condition He'd had for some time,and the condition killed Him..The Wikipedia article I read says He'd left his uncompleted manuscript with his family,along with instructions,notes,and research to complete it..A Co-Writer could finish the Project in about a Year or so.I'd been looking forward to this finale to an enjoyable Fantasy Series,and it seems it will also be a Memorial To Him. Do You Enjoy Fantasy books? Have you read this series?
