About the Author

Robert Jordan was born in 1948 in Charleston, South Carolina, where he now lives with his wife, Harriet, in a house built in 1797. He taught himself to read when he was four with the incidental aid of a twelve-years-older brother, and was tackling Mark Twain and Jules Verne by five. He is a graduate of The Citadel, the Military College of South Carolina, with a degree in physics. He served two tours in Vietnam with the U.S. Army; among his decorations are the Distinguished Flying Cross, the Bronze Star with 'V' and two Vietnamese Crosses of Gallantry. A history buff, he has also written dance and theater criticism. He enjoys the outdoor sports of hunting, fishing and sailing, and the indoor sports of poker, chess, pool and pipe collecting.

Gah, brilliant sequel to the Eye of the World, takes off right where book one ended, Rand faces some dificult decisions with his life and his relationships with his friends.
The story explores more of the history of the world of the wheel but while moving at a similar pace to that of the latter half of book 1.
One of the few direct sequels that is on par (and possibly surpasses) the original. A definate read for any fantasy fan.
