That was a shock that literally ran through me when I hit the final line of the post. The man lived well and created thousands of hours of pleasure for millions of fans. Hopefully whoever they get to finish his epic will do justice to this man's talent. I had always hoped that after he finished it up they might open up the world forgotten realms style and let it live on. We'll have to see.

Finished it on the flight back to NJ. <BR/><BR/>Since then, I've annoyed more than a few book store employees with endlessly varied questions that all boiled down to: "Do you know when the new Robert Jordan is coming out?"<BR/><BR/>I have all of his Wheel of Time books, including a copy of Winter's Heart I kept in the Amazon plastic wrap in case he ever showed up in Virginia Beach for a signing.<BR/><BR/>I've also read quite a few of the entries on his blog, and was pleased to learn of his time in service. His struggle against the disease was epic, he fought it like a true warrior and it is sad that he ultimately lost it.<BR/><BR/>He made me want to be a writer...something I truly hope to grow into one day.<BR/><BR/>Tonight I raise a toast to you 'Ganesha', James Oliver Rigney Jr. You will live a very long time in the minds of the people you've inspired and touched. Until the Wheel spins you out again...rest in peace ta'veren.

His wife is reportedly finishing the last book in Gemmell's "Troy" trilogy, based on Gemmell's notes and first draft, to be published next year.<BR/><BR/>As for Jordan, according to a recent entry on his personal blog (www.dragonmount.com/RobertJordan/) the next (final?) book in the <I>Wheel of Time</I> series was to be called "A Memory of Light," and he was working on it in both manuscript and audio format when he died.<BR/><BR/>He also, according to a relative, "Wilson," told the plot to his wife and family, so between what he's already written, his series notes and his family, I'm sure <I>somebody</I> will be able to finish the series even if Jordan didn't quite manage to.<BR/><BR/>Again, Jordan said that he'd continue writing until they nailed shut his coffin.

I think that I speak for many readers when I say that the WoT series really reinvented and reinvigorated the whole fantasy genre for me...and the cheerful comment on the book jacket about the author intending to keep writing "until they nail shut his coffin" now seems grimly ironic.<BR/><BR/>And I feel somewhat guilty about hoping that he managed to finish that one last promised volume of the WoT before they got out the hammers...<BR/><BR/>Goodbye, James/Robert.
