After the Dunes and Lord OF The Ring my favorite saga has been the The Wheel Of Time Series but when Robert Jordon stopped churning out the series my interest in the story began to wane. Good verses Evil could be now found in Stephen Kings Tower Series which he finally finished and presented with lively gutso with a little autobiographical tinge coloring the life of the Gunslinger.

Then on 26th March we got to hear that Robert Jordon had been diagonosed with a rare kind of blood disease called amyloidosis. Though Robert seemed to be positive and insisted to live beyond the four years that had been promised to him but his fans would obviously be human enough to wonder whether he would really be able to finish his tale or would Evil win with his demise?

Now I know that I shouldn't be talking about the death of a person, still alive and fighting a good fight but as a fan these errant worries do cloud the mind. If he was to go to the other side sooner than expected would someone else finish his tale or worse still the chances of the new writer being able to weave the Jordon magic would be slim.

Stephen King had said in his the forward of one his Tower Novels that his fans werent concerned so much about his person after the gruesome accident but more so about Rowland whose's quest may never have finished.

We are again facing a similar dilemma with our hero Rand al'Thor. Would his story see an end as envisaged by Jordon or is he doomed to accept a future we may not find satisfactory?
