What other books did Robert Jordan plan to write? What about the other two prequels?

Sun, 14 Feb 2010 20:26:00 GMT

In the Wheel of Time, Robert Jordan intended to write two more "prequels" that would fall in between New Spring and The Eye of the World. The first is the story of how Tam al'Thor found baby Rand and decided to return to the Two Rivers. The second is the story of how Moiraine and Lan arrived at the Two Rivers just in the nick of time. Robert Jordan left notes on these stories but there is no decision yet on whether or not they will be written and published.�In addition to the prequels, he was toying with an idea for an additional story line in the Wheel of Time universe that could have led to two or three more "outrigger" books. We believe these would involve Mat and Tuon back in Seanchan a few years in the future.

Now that Brandon Sanderson is finishing the main chronology, will any of these books be written and published? Here is what Brandon has to say on the subject: http://www.brandonsanderson.com/faq/section/3/Wheel-Of-Time-FAQ�It will be Harriet McDougal's decision, with some input from Tom Doherty, as to whether or not any will be written and by whom (though Brandon is the obvious choice and is willing). In any case, the focus now is on finishing the main chronology. No decision, one way or the other, is expected until well after�the main books are completed and published, at least two or three more years.

Are all the Wheel of Time books still available in hardcover?

Yes. Tor and Orbit have kept all thirteen current books in print in hardcover and in paperback. In addition, Tor has trade paperback (a paperback the size of the hardcover) editions of the first three books.

When will Book 13 be published? What do we know about it?

Sat, 13 Feb 2010 18:54:00 GMT

Book 13 titled Towers of Midnight is tentatively scheduled to be published in November 2010. Brandon Sanderson says it will probably be even longer than The Gathering Storm and will cover many of the story arcs that were not advanced in book 12, The Gathering Storm. Keep watching the�main news page�updates.

Who will publish A Memory of Light outsite the United States?

Sat, 13 Feb 2010 18:53:00 GMT

From January 2009 Locus Magazine:

"ROBERT JORDAN & BRANDON SANDERSON's A Memory of Light, the final volume in Jordan's Wheel of Time epic fantasy series, was resold to Orbit in the UK. Tor will publish in the US."

So Orbit will publish the final Wheel of Time books in the UK.
