Quote:

Robert Jordan, author of the bestselling Wheel of Time series, died this afternoon from complications from a rare blood disease. The sad news was officially posted at Jordan's blog, Dragonmount. The site is undergoing heavy traffic right now, but you can find some details at WOTMania.com. As a reader of Jordan's and as a fantasy fan in general, I can honestly say that he will be missed. He was still working on the twelfth and final installment of the Wheel of Time series, though it is unclear how much of it he finished and whether it will be published. Our thoughts are with his wife Harriet, and our condolences go to his family, friends, and many fans.

《时间之轮》（《The Wheel of Time》又译《时光之轮》）是美国作家罗伯特•乔丹（Robert Jordan）所著，可以媲美《魔戒》的长篇奇幻史诗巨作。从八十年代末开始至今，该系列连前传已经出版了12部。每一部都是一段独特的冒险、一个精彩的故事，都能跻身纽约时报畅销书榜前十位，都获得上百万册的销售佳绩。

  全系列有3个中心主角：固执的岚，调皮的马特和沉稳的珀林。而每一部中，还有各自的主角，特别是其中的女性角色，十分鲜明有力。例如第一部中冷静的艾塞达依（可以使用唯一之力的引导者，类似巫师、魔法师的人）茉莱娜，泼辣的贤者奈娜依，公认是岚的未婚妻但是不甘心从此被困的伊文娜。

  第一部《世界之眼》是岚，马特和珀林一生冒险的开始。三人从小一起长大，在一个与世无争的小村庄过着普通但快乐的生活。直到有一天，暗黑魔神为了得到他们三人，派半兽人和黯者袭击了他们的村庄。他们三人为了不连累亲人朋友，[屏蔽]离乡别井开始逃亡。起初他们追随一个艾塞达依：茉莱娜和她的守护者：兰恩，连同偷跑出来的伊文娜，碰巧遇上的吟游诗人索姆，还有后来追赶上来的贤者奈娜依一起，打算前往当时世界艾塞达依组织的中枢：塔瓦隆寻求庇护。但是随着旅程的开展，他们[屏蔽]分成三路，经历不同的人和事。岚做着真实的恶梦，马特遭到匕首的诅咒，珀林发觉自己隐藏有狼的力量，伊文娜宣布要成为艾塞达依，奈娜依恋上兰恩，索姆牺牲……时间之轮按照自己的意志运转着，世界之眼召唤着他们……
