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.

I figured it was Fain. - 28/08/2010 07:48:21 PM 975 Views
My money's on Slayer or perhaps Moridin rather than Fain. - 28/08/2010 08:50:33 PM 1055 Views
