Great entry. It expresses the Wheel of Time series wonderfully.
Is Robert Jordan his pen name or real name? I know that he has written a series of Conan books under another name.
Do you know anywhere on the net that would be a good place to purchase/download the game?
Looking forward to book ten. It will most likely, knowing him, be out just in time for x-mass.
Forever asking questions.

The game is getting increasingly hard to get hold of as it ages, but you can still download the demo from wheeloftime.com - it's 70MB though, so I hope you have broadband! There are, no doubt, some large online retailers who still have the full game in stock. Any very large one come to mind? (They sell books too 
)
I believe Robert Jordan is a pen name, but I thought he wrote the Conan books as Robert Jordan - or some of them, at least.
And thanks for the compliment!

I believe he used a different name, (at least for some of them) but don't quote me on that...

they were re-published under Robert Jordan when the WOT series became popular.

Ah, that would explain it then...

My understanding is that he publishes each series (Conan, Wheel of Time, etc) under a different name - this way, no one brings any Conan expectations to the Wheel of Time. They've also republished some of his civil war nonfiction (I think) under the name Robert Jordan, following the success of the WoT books.
