The Gathering Storm

The Gathering Storm will be released on October 27, 2009. This is the first book of the three that will complete The Wheel of Time series. Robert Jordan, the author of the first 11 books, passed away last year. His widow chose Brandon Sanderson, a well-known fantasy author himself, to complete the series using Robert Jordan's notes. Brandon Sanderson has recently published his own new book, Warbreaker. The Gathering Storm continues the story of the small group who left the Two Rivers area, Egwene, Nynaeve, Perrin, and Mat, to follow the young man who would become The Dragon Reborn, Rand al Thor. Others joined them along the way, Elayne, Aviendha, and Min. They, and many more, are involved in helping Rand in his fight against The Forsaken and The Dark Lord. The books are very detailed, full of unusual characters, exciting battles, and romance. All of the books should be available in the Navajo County libraries and I highly recommend them if you love Fantasy like I do.
