Robert Jordan
667 books17.5k 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.

Moram da priznam, bio sam po malo skeptičan zbog promene (ili bolje reći zamene) pisca, ali za sada sam oduševljen. Kako se bliži kraj serijala, moraju se mnoge stvari otkriti i neke od njih nisu uopšte očekivane, a ni prijatne. Čini mi se , a možda ja to samo umišljam, da u ovom delu ima više akcije nego u prethodnim. I nemam onaj osećaj razvlačenja radnje kao kod prethodnih Džordanovih knjiga. Videćemo dalje.

Sanderson je preuzeo kormilo i čitanje je mnogo lakše

Oluja na obzorju- deo prvi
Konačno da neki deo Točka nema ni prvu, ni drugu, ni treću brzinu. Sve je četvrta i peta brzina.
Ovaj deo mi je u rangu prva 4. dela. Baš sam uživao. Brendon, koliko god voleo Točak, je bio svestan da se pokojni Džordan raspisao. Ubrzao je sve, apsolutno sve pritom i dalje sve sa detaljima.
Rand al'Thor vs Semirhag... Sad vidim zašto neki na forumima kad porede jačinu nekog lika iz književne fantastike Randa porede ne samo sa Melkorom/Morgotom već sa Eru Iluvatarom a mislim da ću tek videti u poslednjim delovima Randovu moć.
Iskreno se nadam da je i drugi deo Oluje na obzorju na nivou. Krećemo.

Dvanaesta knjiga Točka vremena. Džordan je umro pre nego što je završio ovu knjigu, te je ponuđeno Sandersonu da obavi posao do kraja. Eto, ako pišete, gledajte da pišete kraće serijale, jer nikad se ne zna.
Šta reći posle ovoliko stranica? Pratimo nekoliko likova. Rand pokušava da obezbedi kakav-takav mir sa Seanšanima, da bi mogao sve da snage na borbu protiv Mračnog gospodara. Egvenu zarobljavaju u Beloj kuli, gde ona mic po mic pokušava da što više Aes Sedai privuče ka ujedinjenju sa "odbeglim" Aes Sedai. Met je i dalje deo pratnje seanšanske princeze. Perin je napokon sa svojom dragom i može da razmišlja o dolazećem ratu.
Dobro je da se sve polako bliži kraju, dobra knjiga.
