RIp Robert Jordan, author

As Robert Jordan: [edit] Conan the Barbarian Jordan is one of several writers who have written new Conan the Barbarian stories. Conan the Invincible (1982) Conan the Defender (1982) Conan the Unconquered (1983) Conan the Triumphant (1983) Conan the Magnificent (1984) Conan the Destroyer (1984) Conan the Victorious (1984) Some bibliographies also include Conan: King of Thieves; this however, was actually the working title of the second Conan movie, Conan the Destroyer, and hence Jordan's novelization. Jordan had already been hired to do the novelization and Tor had already applied for an ISBN when the title was changed to Conan the Destroyer. [7] They were packed into two separate volumes: The Conan Chronicles Further Chronicles of Conan Jordan also compiled a well-known Conan Chronology. [edit] The Wheel of Time Eleven books of a projected twelve total comprising the main sequence were published before his death. Reviewers and fans of the earlier books noted a slowing of the pace of events in the last few installments due to the expansion of scale of the series as a whole.[8] This slowing culminated in the tenth book Crossroads of Twilight which started on the same day for all the plot threads of the book. Jordan later said that: "The only thing that I wish I hadn't done was use the structure that I did for CoT, with major sections beginning on the same day. Mind, I still think the book works as it is, but I believe it would have been better had I taken a more linear approach. When you try something different, sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't." [9] Chapter summaries for the first eleven Wheel of Time books can be found here. The Eye of the World (15 January 1990) The Great Hunt (15 November 1990) The Dragon Reborn (15 October 1991) The Shadow Rising (15 September 1992) The Fires of Heaven (15 October 1993) Lord of Chaos (15 October 1994) A Crown of Swords (15 May 1996) The Path of Daggers (20 October 1998) Winter's Heart (9 November 2000) Crossroads of Twilight (7 January 2003) Knife of Dreams (11 October 2005) A Memory of Light (uncompleted) In addition to the main sequence, Robert Jordan also wrote some accessory works: The World of Robert Jordan's the Wheel of Time (13 November 1998, reference book, written in collaboration with Teresa Patterson) This reference book includes "The Strike at Shayol Ghul", a short story published online in 1996 which was republished in print as part of this reference book New Spring (February 2000, novella, published in volume three of Tor's Legends anthology, edited by Robert Silverberg) New Spring (January 2004, novel, an expanded work superseding the earlier novella) From The Two Rivers, a repackaging of the first half of The Eye Of The World for a younger market, includes an additional prologue titled Ravens. To the Blight, a repackaging of the second half of The Eye of the World for a younger market. Jordan also spoke of plans to write two other prequels and several outrigger novels after finishing the main sequences, which reversed his previously-made comments that he would conclude his work on the world with prequels.[10] ----------------------------- As Reagan O'Neal: Fallon The Fallon Blood (1980) The Fallon Pride (1981) The Fallon Legacy (1982)
