It's a pre-quil, looks at when Lan and Moraine and Suane Sanche first all met. About 20 years before the start of the first book.

George R R Martin's next book is due out this month: Feast for Crows . If you like Wheel of Time, you should read this series... much much better and the author is leading the reader to an actual conclusion! Yay conclusions! Don't get me wrong, I like Wheel of Time, but it sure is starting to drag... I mean, I regained interest when what's-her-name laid siege to the White Tower... but now she's been captured.... zzzzzz  And I've never been big on the preludes... haven't bothered to read that mess yet... |

How the heck are they going to make a movie out of a book like Eye of the World. Something tells me it just won't live upto the book very well. The only way to come close is to make it a miniseries like they did with Shogun.

if done LOTR style, it would be great to see.. Plus half the d**n book could be severly shortened just by paraphrasing the "two rivers" part of it, that took up half the book and the adventure didn't really begin till they left for two kings. The shayul goul part would be great to see. As long as its not done in the horrible fashion of Kill Bill, great storyline, just done so horrible. As u can tell, I think Quentin Tarantino is about the worst director out, cheesy special effects, horrible conclusions even if a sequel is due, and if I gotta sit through another movie of fake blood spewing out every 2 minutes it wont be worth the storyline even.. My god that looked lame. "those of you alive,, leave now, but your limbs belong to me" shshsshshhhshsquelch ,,, cmon, it had all the content of a poorly made 80's movie. btw :: News About Book #11 Tor expects to publish The Wheel of Time™ book #11 in 2005. As soon as we have more information about this much-anticipated next book in the series, we will send out another communication. Thanks for your patience In an interview, RJ says he plans to write 2 more Prequils, and hopes to have the main sequence books wrapped up at a total of 12 (2 more) tho he says if he cant get it to lead up to the last scene just right there maybe a total of 13. He also says hes had the "last scene" written for 20 years now and is just finding the best way to lead up to it. a1110.g.akamai.net/7/1110/5507/v001/bookstream.download.akamai.com/5507/bw/bs/0765306298/default.htm?click the bookwrap icon to start interviews with jordan. |

Well I suppose if they make it a 3-3.5 hour movie like LOTR's and have a good screenwriter and director they might pull of all the character developement and the plot at the same time, but I betcha that alot of sub-plots and minor characters get the axe. Hope they do a good job though. Anyone ever read the Lords of Discipline and then watch the terrible movie they made out of it?
