James Oliver Rigney Jr. (October 17, 1948 – September xvi, 2007), better known by his pen name Robert Jordan,[1] was an American author of ballsy fantasy. He is known all-time for his series The Wheel of Time (finished past Brandon Sanderson after Hashemite kingdom of jordan'south decease) which comprises fourteen books and a prequel novel. He is one of several writers to have written original Conan the Barbarian novels; his are considered some of the best of the non-Robert E. Howard efforts by fans.[2] Hashemite kingdom of jordan too published historical fiction using the pseudonym Reagan O'Neal, a western as Jackson O'Reilly, and dance criticism as Chang Lung. Jordan claimed to take ghostwritten an "international thriller" that is still believed to have been written by someone else.[iii]

Early life [edit]

Jordan was born in Charleston, South Carolina. He went to Clemson University after loftier school, but dropped out later on one yr and enlisted in the U.S. Army.[4] He served two tours of duty during the Vietnam War as a helicopter gunner.[5] He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross with oak leafage cluster, the Bronze Star with "Five" and oak leaf cluster, and 2 Vietnamese Gallantry Crosses with palm.[6]

After returning from Vietnam in 1970, Jordan studied physics at The Citadel. He graduated in 1974 with a Bachelor of Science degree and began working for the U.Southward. Navy as a nuclear engineer.[7] He began writing in 1977.

Personal life [edit]

Hashemite kingdom of jordan was a history buff and enjoyed hunting, fishing, sailing, poker, chess, pool, and pipe-collecting. He described himself every bit a "High Church" Episcopalian[7] and received communion more than than one time a week.[viii] He lived with his wife, Harriet McDougal, who works as a book editor (currently with Tor Books; she was too Jordan's editor) in a house built in 1797.[ix]

Disease and death [edit]

On March 23, 2006, Jordan disclosed that he had been diagnosed with cardiac amyloidosis and that, with handling, his median life expectancy was four years.[10] In a split up weblog post, he encouraged his fans not to worry about him and stated that he intended to take a long and creative life.[11]

He began chemotherapy at Mayo Clinic during early April 2006.[12] He participated with a written report of the drug Revlimid, which had been canonical recently for multiple myeloma but non nonetheless tested for primary amyloidosis.[13]

Jordan died on September xvi, 2007,[14] and his funeral service was on September 19, 2007.[15] He was cremated and his ashes buried in the churchyard of St. James Church in Goose Creek, outside Charleston, South Carolina.[16] [17]

Jordan's papers tin be found in the special collections of the College of Charleston.[18]

Selected works [edit]

The Wheel of Time [edit]

Jordan published 11 books of a total 14 in the master sequence of the Wheel of Time series. Reviewers and fans of the earlier books noted a slowing of the pace of events in the last few installments written solely past Jordan owing to the expansion of scale of the series as a whole.[19] Because of his health problems, Jordan did not piece of work at full force on the concluding installment A Retention of Light (later split into three volumes offset with The Gathering Storm), but blog entries confirmed that he continued piece of work on it until his death, and he shared all of the significant plot details with his family not long before he died.[20] He maintained that in doing so the book will get published even if "the worst actually happens".[21] On December 7, 2007, Tor Books announced that Brandon Sanderson had been chosen to finish the Wheel of Time series. Harriet McDougal, Jordan's widow, chose him later reading Mistborn: The Final Empire.[22]

All paperback (Pb) folio totals given are for the most widely bachelor mass-market paperback editions. The page count for the hardback (HB) editions exercise non include glossary or appendix page counts.

The World of Robert Jordan's The Bike of Time is an encyclopedia for the series about the unnamed world where the plot takes place, which is often referred by fans of the series as the Earth of the Wheel. It is published in the United States by Tor Books and in the United Kingdom past Orbit Books. The bulk of the text was written by Teresa Patterson based on notes and information provided past Jordan, who also served as overall editor on the project. While the information in the guide is broadly canonical, the book is deliberately written with vague, biased or even downright fake (or guessed) information in places, every bit Patterson felt this would reflect a primal theme of the series (the mutability of knowledge across fourth dimension and distance).[27]

Conan the Barbarian [edit]

Jordan was one of several writers who has written Conan the Barbaric stories. When Tom Doherty obtained the rights, he needed a novel very chop-chop, then Jordan's married woman Harriet McDougal recommended him considering she knew he had written his first novel, Warriors of the Altaii, in 13 days.

So he thought I could write something fast, and he was correct, and I liked it. It was fun writing something completely over the top, full of purple prose, and in a weak moment I agreed to do five more than and the novelization of the second Conan movie. I've decided that those things were very skillful subject field for me. I had to work with a character and a globe that had already been created and yet find a fashion to say something new almost the character and the earth. That was a very skillful exercise.[28]

  2. Conan the Defender (1982)
  3. Conan the Unconquered (1983)
  4. Conan the Triumphant (1983)
