Robert Jordan was the pen name of James Oliver Rigney, Jr., under which he was best known as the author of the bestselling The Wheel of Time fantasy series. He also wrote under the names Reagan O'Neal and Jackson O'Reilly.
Jordan was born in Charleston, South Carolina. He served two tours in Vietnam (from 1968 to 1970) with the United States Army as a helicopter gunner. He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross with bronze oak leaf cluster, the Bronze Star with "V" and bronze oak leaf cluster, and two Vietnamese Gallantry Crosses with palm. After returning from Vietnam he attended The Citadel where he received an undergraduate degree in physics. After graduating he was employed by the United States Navy as a nuclear engineer. He began writing in 1977. He was a history buff and enjoyed hunting, fishing, sailing, poker, chess, pool, and pipe collecting.
He described himself as a "High Church" Episcopalian and received communion more than once a week. He lived with his wife Harriet McDougal, who works as a book editor (currently with Tor Books; she was also Jordan's editor) in a house built in 1797.
Responding to queries on the similarity of some of the concepts in his Wheel of Time books with Freemasonry concepts, Jordan admitted that he was a Freemason. However, "like his father and grandfather," he preferred not to advertise, possibly because of the negative propaganda against Freemasonry. In his own words, "no man in this country should feel in danger because of his beliefs."
On March 23, 2006, Jordan disclosed in a statement that he had been diagnosed with cardiac amyloidosis, and that with treatment, his median life expectancy was four years, though he said he intended to beat the statistics. He later posted on his Dragonmount blog to encourage his fans not to worry about him and that he intended to have a long and fully creative life.
He began chemotherapy treatment at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, in early April 2006. Jordan was enrolled in a study using the drug Revlimid just approved for multiple myeloma but not yet tested on primary amyloidosis.
Jordan died at approximately 2:45 p.m. EDT on September 16, 2007, and a funeral service was held for him on Wednesday, September 19, 2007. Jordan was cremated and his ashes buried in the churchyard of St. James Church in Goose Creek, outside Charleston.

Una obra imprescindible para quienes aman la saga. Más que un simple acompañamiento, funciona como una auténtica enciclopedia ilustrada que permite profundizar en la historia, la geografía, las razas y las culturas de los libros. La cantidad de detalles es apabullante, y se nota el esfuerzo por organizar la información en un formato claro y accesible.
El libro destaca por su capacidad de enriquecer la experiencia de lectura de la serie principal: comprender mejor las motivaciones de los pueblos, las leyendas que se mencionan en las novelas y la amplitud del mundo creado. Además, las ilustraciones y mapas son un gran acierto, aportando un componente visual que ayuda a situar los lugares y a sumergirse aún más en la saga.
Sin embargo, el gran defecto de esta edición en español son los errores ortográficos de la traducción, que aparecen con demasiada frecuencia y sacan al lector de la experiencia. Aunque no arruinan la experiencia, sí resultan molestos en un libro de este nivel y deberían haber tenido un mejor cuidado editorial.

¡NO LEER ANTES DEL LIBRO 7!
Un complemento al mundo escrito por Robert Jordan. Aclara y da luz a muchas de sus partes aportando ilustraciones sobre: Seanchan y sus animales, Renegados, Aes Sedai y sus Ajahs, Facciones, etc.
En mi opinión aporta mucho si has llegado a estas alturas de la rueda, aunque recomendaría esperar al libro 7, o ya en la primera página te vas a comer un spoiler como una catedral de grande, y el libro está lleno de ellos hasta ese punto.
