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.




I just pre-ordered through iBooks. I haven't seen it anywhere else.

iBooks does give a sample, which is the first few pages. It includes a Loial quote from his book "The Dragon Reborn" and it gives the first part of the Lan pov.

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 446 Views
I'm not too excited now, but I'll still buy it. Deadsy - 28/08/2010 06:57:25 PM 1107 Views

Got a huge Gollum flashback after reading the part about the creeper *NM* Lordling - 28/08/2010 07:24:11 PM 475 Views
Nice name! From now on, it'll be known as The Creeper. *NM* Skeeve the Great - 28/08/2010 07:34:55 PM 442 Views
Thanks for the news. Looking forward to the 21st! RandAllThor - 28/08/2010 07:36:22 PM 903 Views
I figured it was Fain. Gher - 28/08/2010 07:48:21 PM 874 Views
My money's on Slayer or perhaps Moridin rather than Fain. RandAllThor - 28/08/2010 08:50:33 PM 953 Views
Moridin Travels, he does not creep. *NM* Marshall - 28/08/2010 08:55:19 PM 433 Views

Left humanity behind... could be Fain, Slayer or Moridin I guess. *NM* Sidious - 28/08/2010 07:58:31 PM 835 Views
those were my three for that slot as well... *NM* mazza3 - 30/08/2010 08:10:46 PM 388 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 407 Views
So did Aginor in EoTW... maybe it's Osan'gar lol *NM* Sidious - 28/08/2010 08:53:10 PM 377 Views
It's Narg, obviously *NM* BlackAdder - 28/08/2010 09:29:13 PM 841 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 389 Views

Is it just me, or does "Distinctions" rank as the flattest-sounding prologue title to date? *NM* RandAllThor - 29/08/2010 01:04:41 AM 768 Views
Worse than CoT's "Mostly Uneventful Day" ? *NM* TaskmasterJack - 29/08/2010 02:34:44 AM 393 Views
Yeah but at least they made it sound all cool and shiny BlackAdder - 29/08/2010 03:31:45 AM 797 Views

Ever since they put October between September and November. fionwe1987 - 29/08/2010 03:29:43 AM 850 Views

"Another" meaningless bloodbath? Aren't most people annoyed at the lack of such thus far? *NM* Cannoli - 31/08/2010 04:07:15 AM 394 Views
