Wheel of Time To Be Finished by Brandon Sanderson

December 10th, on his official site and livejournal, author Brandon Sanderson posted that he has been asked to finish late author Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time Series.

Sanderson states that, "Mr. Jordon left detailed notes, and readers need not fear. The Wheel of Time will continue to turn."

In an interview with Dragonmount, a Wheel of Time community, Sanderson says, "There was only one person who could have written this book the way it was supposed to be written, and he is gone now. I think I'll do a good job (to be honest, I think I'll do a great job) but I can't do the job he would have done."

The full interview with Mr. Sanderson can be read here, on the Dragonmount site.

The official press release states that, "The new novel, A Memory of Light, will be the 12th and final book in the fantasy series which has sold more than 14 million copies in North America and more than 30 million copies worldwide."
