Robert Jordan
670 books17.2k followersLibrarian Note: There is more than one author in the Goodreads database with this name.
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.

La suite du tome 23 (oui bon je n'ose plus trop en dire à ce niveau de la série^^").
Une deuxième partie particulièrement haletante et ce à plusieurs niveaux : que ce soit avec Mat, dont certains chapitres m'ont particulièrement fasciné ou bien avec Egwene et les Aes Sedai à travers des scènes mémorables, cette deuxième partie semble bien s'inscrire selon moi dans les meilleures tomes de la saga ! Seul Rand est particulièrement détestable, mais comme je ne l'ai jamais vraiment aimé à partir des tomes 5-6 environ, cela ne m'a pas plus dérangé que cela !
Finalement, le seul point noir de ce diptyque repose sur l'absence notable d'Elayne !
Vivement la sortie de la suite !

Une écriture qui ne laisse jamais à désirer, nous immergeant pleinement dans ce monde que Robert Jordan a dressé pour nous... Nous suivons avec délectation et parfois inquiétude nos personnages préférés, et il y en a à foison! La Roue du Temps nous livrent un panel toujours plus riche d'histoire, de personnages magnifiquement développés à la construction et à la psychologie complexe et aboutie...
Et c'est avec impatience et émoi que nous voyons tous ces personnages avancer d'un pas toujours plus ferme vers ce qui s'annonce être les prémices de l'Ultime Bataille... Y arriveront-ils à temps?
On sent dans ce livre que les enjeux en deviennent plus cruciaux, que le rythme s'accélère et qu'il en va de même de la détermination et de la conviction de nos personnages !
