Interview #219: Radio Dead Air Interview, Entry #14

Glas Durboraw

What other sort of things do you have coming up?

Robert Jordan

Well, the major thing is the twelfth and last book of the Wheel of Time, and there will be two further prequels written at some time—I don’t know when—but the twelfth book will be the last book. I do not have a title for it yet; I generally don’t have a title until I’m somewhere into the book, maybe halfway through it, maybe even more. It will be the final book, if I have to make it a 1500-page novel that people need to use a luggage cart to take out of the store, this will be the end of it. And another thing…at this time, I have no plans other than those two prequels, to return to the world of the Wheel of Time. I have told the story I intended to tell, and unless I came up with another story that I considered of comparable worth, or at least very significant worth, I would not go back into that universe. It would just be covering the same ground, telling people the same thing over again. There’s no way I’m going to have stories about Elayne’s children or, you know, this isn’t gonna happen.

I was going to ask you about that, and that’s good to hear.
