Sad news indeed. :cry:
From the sound of it the illness he had been fighting for some time was not a pleasant thing to have to fight.
Still, lets hope that the final volume of TWoT will see light of day in some shape or form, all be it completed by someone else.

That's a pity. :(
It might depend on how much he'd already done or how detailed his plans were. :shrug:

He had been working on the final book for quite a while, there's no knowing how far he got as progress was slow, though apparently he'd recently told his family the whole plot in great detail so there's every chance it can be completed as he intended.

Brandon Sanderson on Robert Jordan and The Wheel of Time
by Jeff VanderMeer on February 01, 2008
With the tragic passing of Robert Jordan last year, the world lost a writer who had become an iconic figure to his millions of fans. In the weeks following Jordan's death, many of those same fans understandably wondered how or if the fantasist's bestselling The Wheel of Time series would be completed. Then news came from Tor that Brandon Sanderson, a fantasy and children's book author, had accepted an offer to write a final volume called A Memory of Light, using Jordan's dictated notes about the plot. Sanderson had been working on his own Mistborn series and a follow-up to Alcatraz and the Evil Librarians. I recently talked to Sanderson via email about Jordan's legacy and about how he became involved with A Memory of Light, which is scheduled for release in 2009 |
