A propos de cet article

First UK edition, third impression, published later the same year. Standard facsimile signature of Robert Jordan on title page. Some slight edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, corners slightly bruised, not price clipped (£20.00), no other inscriptions, internally clean tight and almost square, overall a vg copy. 783pp, map endpapers. Tarmon Gai'don, the Last Battle looms. And mankind is not ready. Rand al'Thor struggles to unite a fractured network of kingdoms and alliances in preparation for the Last Battle, as his allies watch in terror the shadow that seems to be growing within the heart of the Dragon Reborn himself. Egwene al'Vere is a captive of the White Tower and subject to the whims of their tyrannical leader. She works to hold together the disparate factions of Aes Sedai, as the days tick toward the Seanchan attack she knows is imminent. Her fight will prove the mettle of the Aes Sedai, and her conflict will decide the future of the White Tower and possibly the world itself. The Wheel of Time turns and Ages come and pass. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the Shadow. Robert Jordan (1948-2007), pen name of James Oliver Rigney, published eleven books of a total fourteen in the main sequence of the acclaimed fantasy 'Wheel of Time' series. Because of his health problems, Jordan did not work at full force on the final installment 'A Memory of Light' but blog entries confirmed that he continued work on it until his death, and he shared all of the significant plot details with his family not long before he died. He maintained that in doing so the book will get published even if 'the worst actually happens'. On December 7th 2007, Tor Books announced that Brandon Sanderson had been chosen to finish 'The Wheel of Time' series. A heavy book, extra postage may be required.

Synopsis

The final volume of the Wheel of Time, A Memory of Light, was partially written by Robert Jordan before his untimely passing in 2007. Brandon Sanderson, New York Times bestselling author of the Mistborn books, was chosen by Jordan's editor ? his wife, Harriet McDougal ? to complete the final book. The scope and size of the volume was such that it could not be contained in a single book, and so The Gathering Storm is the first of three novels that will cover the outline left by Robert Jordan, chronicling Tarmon Gai'don and Rand al'Thor's final confrontation with the Dark One. This short sequence will complete the struggle against the Shadow, bringing to a close a journey begun almost twenty years ago and marking the conclusion of the Wheel of Time, the preeminent fantasy epic of our era. The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the Shadow. Let the Dragon ride again on the winds of time.
