Robert Jordan's unfinished Works

[CUBAREY]

About the outrigger novels, I doubt Mat & Tuon would be all of them.

Given that the evidence we have indicates a trilogy about them, why do you doubt it?

From Wikipedia::

The author said he intended to write some 'outrigger novels', one concerning Mat and Tuon.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mat_Cauthon

It tells just one would be on Mat & Tuon.

Also, sticking with just them (and possibly also the Seanchan) with each one would likely get boring; not much variety.

 

I guess one of the others might be on Birgitte.

 

 

Dude the publisher said the outriggers was a trilogy about Mat and Tuon, period end of storry (pun intended).

I have not read that anywhere.

Wikipedia told that Robert Jordan said that Mat & Tuon would be one outrigger.  That site seems to try to be as accurate as possible.

Making it a trilogy when the author tells it would be just one, the only reason would be if the events are more than could be bound in one or two volumes.  So far, we have not proof of that.

Wikipedia doens't try anything. If you don't like what it says, no one will stop you from changing it (within limits). Who cares if it's true or false...

 

I ain't anti-Wikipedia, but you can NEVER use it as a source: use the sources quoted at the bottom of the Wiki-page, and don't trust the info if it ain't sourced.

No, it wouldn't. Now, wikipedia is not the most reliable source, and this is an unsourced claim not in the authors exact words, and so is practically worthless as evidence. Find a quote. Like this: "Tom mentions that Jim also planned to eventually write some books taking place about 10 years after A Memory of Light that would mostly focus on Mat and Tuon [the books known as the outrigger novels]." http://peterahlstrom.blogspot.com/2008/08/rolling-up-wheel-of-time-panel.html

 

Or this: "Of particular interest was the revelation from Tom that the “outrigger novels” that Jordan had long ago planned to do would have been a trilogy about the Seanchan, with Mat and Tuon going back to her homeland to deal with the fallout there." http://www.tor.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=blog&id=23875

Wikipedia is wrong.

Making it a trilogy when the author tells it would be just one

Have you got a quote from the author to that effect? Because there isn't one. He didn't say that. Alive, he said he was planning something with Mat and Tuon 5-10 years after TG, post-mortem we have sources close to him telling us that he planned a trilogy of Mat and Tuon.

 

i mean was a going to be a book by Jordan. when has he ever kept it short?

“Heaven falls. Details at eleven.” 5 words. That's quite short. Hemingway needed six (”For sale: baby shoes, never worn.”). Padded or what?

I think a book on the Age of Legends, the making of the Bore and The first War with the Dark One would be great.

[The Watcher and Wanderer]

To be clear, since this isn't an option, I want all of these provided there's enough from RJ to work with. Especially the prequels.

 

And the third prequel is about Moiraine and Lan actually coming to the Two Rivers. Covers what happens just before the series begins.

 

I think it goes without saying that most fans would want all of these works completed if it were possible to do them according to Robert Jordan's vision.  However, the question is which ONE would you MOST like to see completed.

 

The poll would be better as multiple choice.

 

Um, what is it now?
