Nice, thanks for pointing that out BlackAdder Send a noteboard - 11/09/2010 12:29:40 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.




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.


EDIT: Just finished reading though it... that was pretty interesting.

I figured it was Fain. - 28/08/2010 07:48:21 PM 862 Views
My money's on Slayer or perhaps Moridin rather than Fain. - 28/08/2010 08:50:33 PM 944 Views

Is it just me, or does "Distinctions" rank as the flattest-sounding prologue title to date? *NM* - 29/08/2010 01:04:41 AM 754 Views
Worse than CoT's "Mostly Uneventful Day" ? *NM* - 29/08/2010 02:34:44 AM 390 Views
Yeah but at least they made it sound all cool and shiny - 29/08/2010 03:31:45 AM 790 Views
