sad when a good writer dies, i hope Robert Jordan goes on. I would die if he never finished the wheel of time

You (and your guild) are even flippin named after his creations! Shame on you!

I don't think he ever got round to finishing the Troy trilogy, so we'll be left on book 2

 

[Ryuno]

Maybe we could write book3 as a tribute!

 

[cHodAX]

Aww fuck no


Can't say anything else right now, too upset

I meet the man a few times at signings. To say that this is a great loss, would be a massive understatement.

If you don't know what I mean, then try Legend by David Gemmell, it will provide you with alot of pleasure.

Aye, so Jordan get a move on! And on-topic, I've only just recently bought a David Gemell book and haven't had the chance to read it, but I'll sure be doing it soon.

Always sad when a Fantasy writer goes, the good ones are very rare.
