In the Internet age, fans can engage with a book long after they’ve finished it. They go online, meet other fans and participate in role-playing games. There’s even a Web site profiling couples who have met and married because of the series. (One happy couple, Amber and Markku of Espoo, Finland, met in a “clan” devoted to the Wheel of Time board game.) Rabid Jordan fans know all about Harriet, his wife and editor, and they even sent her care packages when they learned he was ill.
Jordan’s connection with his fans has grown even stronger since he began blogging about his illness. He has commented on his flat “behind” and opined on the virtues of Tabasco sauce. When readers asked his thoughts on death, however, Jordan, a Vietnam veteran and former atomic engineer, became more philosophical.
“You deal with death the way you deal with breathing, or with air,” he wrote. “Death is a natural and inevitable end.” In other words, as he has written in all 11 books, “The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass.”
