Is it just me, or does "Distinctions" rank as the flattest-sounding prologue title to date? *NM* RandAllThor Send a noteboard - 29/08/2010 01:04:41 AM

As with previous volumes in the Wheel of Time® series, Macmillan is making the prologue for Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderon’s The Towers of Midnight available for purchase on September 21st, more than a month before the hardcover is released on November 2, 2010.

In the prologue, titled “Distinctions,” Lan Mandragoran rides on toward death; Perrin Aybara, Lord Goldeneyes, has a disturbing dream; Galad leads the Whitecloaks into harm’s way; one who has left humanity behind creeps through the Blight; and the Blight border faces invasion.

“Distinctions” will be available for $2.99 as either an ebook or an audio download. You can pre-order the ebook now, and it will be compatible with nearly all e-reading devices, including the Sony Reader and the Kindle.



1) So, as was predicted, the war has started, the invasion is on the way.

2) Interesting thing about Galad. What "harm's way" is he leading to? Another Trollocs ambush?

3) "The one that left humanity" - probably Fain. But can be a new character or thing. If it's Fain, what's he doing in the Blight? Is there possibility that link between Moridin and Rand so strong that it gives false reading to the Fain's "radar"?

4) I'm very disturbed with the Lan's storyline right now. It looks like it would be another meaningless bloodbath, where tons of good people die for nothing.

5) Perrin - gawd, I hope it wouldn't be moaning about weight of the responsibilities and how much he loves his wife that he couldn't live without her.

Good to know, even though I'll probably skip it and wait for the full book. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 28/08/2010 06:56:53 PM 460 Views

Nice name! From now on, it'll be known as The Creeper. *NM* Skeeve the Great - 28/08/2010 07:34:55 PM 458 Views
Thanks for the news. Looking forward to the 21st! RandAllThor - 28/08/2010 07:36:22 PM 941 Views
I figured it was Fain. Gher - 28/08/2010 07:48:21 PM 913 Views
My money's on Slayer or perhaps Moridin rather than Fain. RandAllThor - 28/08/2010 08:50:33 PM 985 Views

Left humanity behind... could be Fain, Slayer or Moridin I guess. *NM* Sidious - 28/08/2010 07:58:31 PM 873 Views

Graendal at one point considered herself "no longer merely human" or word to that effect *NM* NaClH2O - 28/08/2010 08:38:58 PM 424 Views
So did Aginor in EoTW... maybe it's Osan'gar lol *NM* Sidious - 28/08/2010 08:53:10 PM 392 Views
It's Narg, obviously *NM* BlackAdder - 28/08/2010 09:29:13 PM 872 Views
That would be a great easter egg as an ebook exclusive (leaving it out of the full printed release). *NM* TaskmasterJack - 28/08/2010 10:04:18 PM 405 Views
