Books ten through twelve of The Wheel of Time, Robert Jordan's internationally bestselling fantasy series, now available in boxed set: featuring Crossroads of Twilight, Knife of Dreams, and The Gathering Storm

Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time is a story that takes place both in our past and our future. In his fantasy world, the Dark One, the embodiment of pure evil, is breaking free from his prison. The overall plot is about a man who learns that he is the reincarnation of the world's messiah and is once again destined to save the world from the Dark One -- but possibly destroy it in the process. This saga is not only his story, but the story of an entire world's struggle to deal with war and change, destruction and hope.

Book ten: Crossroads of Twilight
Book eleven: Knife of Dreams
Book Twelve: The Gathering Storm

About the Author

Robert Jordan was born in 1948 in Charleston, South Carolina. He taught himself to read when he was four with the incidental aid of a twelve-years-older brother, and was tackling Mark Twain and Jules Verne by five. He is a graduate of The Citadel, the Military College of South Carolina, with a degree in physics. He served two tours in Vietnam with the U.S. Army; among his decorations are the Distinguished Flying Cross with bronze oak leaf cluster, the Bronze Star with V and bronze oak leaf cluster, and two Vietnamese Gallantry Crosses with palm. A history buff, he has also written dance and theater criticism and enjoyed the outdoor sports of hunting, fishing, and sailing, and the indoor sports of poker, chess, pool, and pipe collecting.
Robert Jordan began writing in 1977 and went on to write The Wheel of Time(R), one of the most important and best selling series in the history of fantasy publishing with over 14 million copies sold in North America, and countless more sold abroad.
Robert Jordan died on September 16, 2007, after a courageous battle with the rare blood disease amyloidosis.

Twists and turns

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 April 2012

As i said before there is plenty to see and be consumed by. Personally I almost forgot everything else i needed to do those two months that I was reading the books. Sanderson's contribution moves things along beautifully, especially in the end of the book, right when you where worried the most. Things are not cut and dry, in true modern fantasy fashion, though it doesn't reach the constant bickering and plotting of Martin's books (which is a real plus for me). No, there plenty of action and the build up towards Tarmon Gaidon, as the last book of the three is in essence the beginning of the last book that Mr. Jordan wanted to write (I doubt that he would have finished everything in one book, or as my favotite Fantasy Author Steven Erikson said of his ending books the last one grew too big to be one book).

Absolutely amazing!

Reviewed in Canada on 26 May 2017

Absolutely amazing. I was recommended this series by a friend at work, and after about 3 chapters of the first book I was hooked. Rand, Perrin and Mat are all incredible heroes, each one with different virtues and personalities. The books are written fantastically, Jordan really brings all the characters to life and sets an amazing scene with a great balance of narration, dialogue and action. When Jordan died (RIP), and Sanderson takes over and finishes the series, the writing style changes, which immediately I disliked because I was so impressed and comfortable with Jordan's style, but after a few chapters I was hooked! Sanderson had a quicker paced writing style, more dialogue, more action and drama, but maintained the clarity of the fantasy world that Jordan created. Absolutely amazing, this is be a favourite series for the rest of my life and I'm sure I'll read it through and through again!

One of the books was unreadable

Box set is fine except the third book (the gathering storm) has a bunch of text that is cut off. Would be perfect if not for this.

Needed to finish the series

Reviewed in Canada on 10 October 2013

Verified Purchase

Anyone who has read the Wheel of Time series will understand. I was able to buy these books for a fraction of what they would have cost me at chapters so I am very happy with them. They allowed me to FINALLY finish the series after years of putting it off. Would use again.

The Gathering Storm

Reviewed in Canada on 13 March 2014

Verified Purchase

"The Gathering Storm", literally fell apart as I was reading it; however, the pieces that fell out of the paperback book were pieces I had already read. The other volumes, 1- 11, are still intact. I'm really disappointed with the 12th volume because I often reread my books sometime later. I don't usually complain, but ....., when I had this opportunity I couldn't resist.
