Scheduled for publication by Tor Books in early 2009 [1], it was
intended to conclude the series, which began in 1990 with The Eye of
the World. On September 16, 2007, Robert Jordan died from amyloidosis.
[2] Before his death, Jordan stated "I'm getting out notes, so if the
worst actually happens, someone could finish A Memory of Light and
have it end the way I want it to end." The decision to posthumously
complete the book has been left to his wife Harriet and Tor Books
president Tom Doherty.[1]
Whew.
RIP
