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.

Egwene tente d'organiser une résistance tandis que de nombreuses batailles se jouent dans le monde.
Un deuxième tome qui vient confirmer l'impulsion lancée par la première partie. Jordan est décidé à résoudre ses intrigues qui traînent depuis désormais quelques livres et c'est un régal d'avoir enfin cette sensation de sortir d'un bourbier dans lequel l'histoire s'enfonçait depuis un certains temps. Conséquence logique à cette direction prise par le roman : Rand est au final très peu présent au profit d'un plus grand nombre de chapitres consacrés à Perrin, Mat et Elayne. Outre ces trois arcs réellement satisfaisants, nous avons également droits à quelques longs chapitres dédiés à Egwene. Si je ne suis pas particulièrement fan de cette dernière, je reconnais toutefois que ce passage est assez sympathique et un peu drôle, je n'aurais jamais pensé autant entendre parler de ses fesses !
Conclusion de multiples intrigues oblige, ce tome ne se termine donc pas par un affrontement ou un cliffhanger mémorable mais plutôt par de nombreuses batailles qui n'en sont pas moins très jouissives.
Un très bon tome qui donne vraiment l'impression d'avancer et réhausse Perrin qui était quelque peu négligé.

4,8 ⭐️Je pense qu’il n’y a aucun chapitre où tu peux reprendre ton souffle tellement y’a de l’action page après page. Un de mes prefs de la série à date.

Och dessa böcker avklarade som finns på svenska...tyvärr saknas dom 3 sista böckerna vilket suger...att dom översätter 22 av 25 suger rejält men får bli att läsa dom 3 sista på engelska :/

Vihdoinkin tässä osassa Perrinin, Matin ja Elaynen tilanne eteni johonkin suuntaan. Mutta varsinkin Egewenestä kertovassa osassa tuntui, että koko ajan toistettiin samaa ja mitään ei tapahtunut. Tässä sarjan loppupuolella tiivistys olisi tehnyt sarjalle hyvää.

L'étau se resserre on sent de plus en plus approcher le dénouement de cette saga épique même si de nombreuses questions restent encore sans réponse. Hâte que la suite sorte afin de dévorer ces romans (j'espère que Rand se remettra de sa blessure pour pouvoir survivre à Tairmon Gai'don)
