A Memory of Light - Full Cover

    I guess I really should also post the full (front and back) cover of the upcoming finale in the Wheel Of Time series.  Odd that only two of Rand's wives are shown, eh?

It's here!

The Gathering Storm, Book 12 of the Wheel Of Time fantasy saga hit the stores today, and I made a special trip down to Barnes & Noble to buy it tonight. At 766 pages in a hardcover-sized book, this is gonna take some time to get through, especially since I have to try and remember what all the characters were doing at the close of Book 11.

The Gathering Storm

This is what I'll be buying and starting to read on 27 October. Look for a review of it in early November. Then I probably will look for some other stuff by Brandon Sanderson, to figure out why Robert Jordan selected him to be his (so to speak) ghost-writer.

Wheel of Time

I resisted the temptation to rush out and buy the new Dan Brown book, The Lost Symbol. Judging from the Amazon.com reviews, that was a smart move. But the Wheel Of Time series is a different matter. Despite it being four years since the last book (#11, The Knife of Dreams), and a small matter of Robert Jordan passing away in 2007, the next book (The Gathering Storm) is due out in October. I will be buying that one within a week of its release. . And no matter what it says, the image above is NOT the cover for Book #13. It is however, a wonderful piece of Photoshopping.
