Interview #219: Radio Dead Air Interview, Entry #15

Glas Durboraw

What do you see yourself doing next? Do you have any ideas?

Robert Jordan

Yes. I will be helping out my wife a little bit on a project that she will be doing—she’s already signed the contract for it—she will be the major writer on an encyclopedia of the Wheel of Time. And then, when we’ve gotten that out of the way—actually, before we’ve gotten that out of the way—I will begin work on a trilogy called Infinity of Heaven set in a different world, in a completely different universe. There will be a different magic analog—not the One Power; not magic either, but a different magic analog—and the closest linking to the Wheel of Time will be that in one of the books—not the first one; it was at first intended to be the first book—but in one of the books we will encounter a society that will be as close to the Seanchan Empire as it is possible to get without being the Seanchan Empire, except that it is even more rigidly stratified, both horizontally and vertically, than the Seanchan Empire, which if people actually look, they’ll realize has a very porous stratification; it’s a place where it’s possible to move from the lowest level to the highest, short of becoming the Empress.

Glas Durboraw

Excellent, I look forward to seeing it then.
