R.I.P. Robert Jordan…

By Raghunath | Published: September 17, 2007

RJRobert Jordan, eminent author in the fantasy world, passed away on 16th September at 2:45. Jordan was diagnosed with Amyloidosis and finally succumbed to the disease after a year and a half struggle. His last words were to tell his wife Harriet that he loved her.

For those who do not know, Robert Jordan is the author of The Wheel of Time, one of the most successful fantasy series after the Lord of the Rings. To me, Jordan was the answer to a quest for good fantasy fiction after reading LOTR and wanting something that stands up to the same. Jordan was an inspiration, both for writers and readers, and will be sorely missed by all his fans.

My condolences go out to the entire Jordan family. Here’s the link to the official Robert Jordan blog.
