Author dies

Robert Jordan died Sunday at the age of 58 from a rare blood disease. One fan said it best "The Great Lord of the Dark has won. There will be no Last Battle."

According to Associated Press:

In a 2004 online chat on the USA Today Web site, Jordan said he hoped to finish the main "Wheel" series in two more books. Book 11, "Knife of Dreams," came out in 2005. He was working on book 12 at the time of his death.
