A Memory of Light is a working title for the twelfth book of the popular The Wheel of Time fantasy series written by American author Robert Jordan. It will be published by Tor Books. Tor has confirmed that it will be released in early 2009;[1] it will conclude the series, which began in 1990 with The Eye of the World.
Robert Jordan has repeatedly said that the main sequence will conclude with this book. Numerous times he said that he will hold to this statement even if he has to make it 2000 pages long. More recently, at ComicCon 2006, Jordan said he would "finish the story in one more book even if it takes 1500 pages hardcover." According to dragonmount.com, he has said "...it is not possible for him to write two more coherent books. He said he might get one coherent book, and one incoherent, or two semi-coherent, so The Wheel of Time would be finished by book 12."[citation needed]
Robert Jordan does, however, plan to write two other prequel novels in addition to New Spring (about Lan and Moiraine finding Rand al'Thor) and possibly two or three other side-plot novels, one of which is said to be about Mat Cauthon and Tuon, 5 to 10 years after Tarmon Gai'don.[2]
Health Issues
Recently, Robert Jordan has been diagnosed with the rare blood disease amyloidosis, and the twelfth installment of this series may be released later than expected as a result. See below in 'External links' for more information.
On January 22, 2007, Jordan's blog announced[3] that Jordan's Lambda light chain levels have dropped to a rating 2.70 (where 1.0 to 3.0 is considered normal and healthy). This level refers to the amount of amyloid-like material found on examination; it is this level that gives prognostic information to physicians. It should be noted that this is the first time since his diagnosis in March 2006 that Jordan's Lambda light chains have been within the normal range.
As of June 12, 2007 Robert Jordan has posted on dragonmount.com that for the second month in a row his lambda light chain levels have been normal. However, his overall heart health has not improved and his prognosis has not changed.
