Audio Renaissance, the publisher of Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time audiobooks, is planning to release the unabridged version of A CROWN OF SWORDS at the end of this month.

Brandon Sanderson, the author chosen to complete the final novel in The Wheel of Time series, is currently re-reading the entire series before embarking on his journey into A MEMORY OF LIGHT.

Although he denies it, Robert Jordan loves lurking on all the various message boards and websites dedicated to his series. So, in order to get him to talk back with us a bit more, we've setup a blog for him to post his thoughts and commentary to.

Also, if you run a website and want to include this content, feel free to use the RSS feed to d
The LORD OF CHAOS. In the interview, RJ gives many of his trademark responses (like how he's known the end of the series since before he wrote the first book). But nonetheless, the interview is insightful, well conducted, and more than a little heart-breaking when you think of Jim's all too early passing.
You can listen to the interview at the Reality Break podcast website.

The Gathering Storm, the twelfth book in the Wheel of Time series, debuted at the number one spot on the prestigious New York Times bestseller list. This is the fifth WoT novel to hold the spot, and the first time that author Brandon Sanderson has been there.

After receiving a mixed response to the two news articles we posted recently (article #2), Red Eagle Entertainment took the time to directly address some of the issues that fans have brought up. Red Eagle executive Larry Mondragon actually replied in the comments section of those news articles, but we're putting them here in order for more fans to directly see them. If they seem a little out of context, it's simply because we're copy / pasting them here.
