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.

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 438 Views
I'm not too excited now, but I'll still buy it. Deadsy - 28/08/2010 06:57:25 PM 1097 Views

Got a huge Gollum flashback after reading the part about the creeper *NM* Lordling - 28/08/2010 07:24:11 PM 469 Views
Nice name! From now on, it'll be known as The Creeper. *NM* Skeeve the Great - 28/08/2010 07:34:55 PM 439 Views
Thanks for the news. Looking forward to the 21st! RandAllThor - 28/08/2010 07:36:22 PM 894 Views
I figured it was Fain. Gher - 28/08/2010 07:48:21 PM 863 Views
My money's on Slayer or perhaps Moridin rather than Fain. RandAllThor - 28/08/2010 08:50:33 PM 944 Views
Moridin Travels, he does not creep. *NM* Marshall - 28/08/2010 08:55:19 PM 428 Views

Left humanity behind... could be Fain, Slayer or Moridin I guess. *NM* Sidious - 28/08/2010 07:58:31 PM 830 Views
those were my three for that slot as well... *NM* mazza3 - 30/08/2010 08:10:46 PM 386 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 404 Views
So did Aginor in EoTW... maybe it's Osan'gar lol *NM* Sidious - 28/08/2010 08:53:10 PM 373 Views
It's Narg, obviously *NM* BlackAdder - 28/08/2010 09:29:13 PM 828 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 386 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 756 Views
Worse than CoT's "Mostly Uneventful Day" ? *NM* TaskmasterJack - 29/08/2010 02:34:44 AM 390 Views
Yeah but at least they made it sound all cool and shiny BlackAdder - 29/08/2010 03:31:45 AM 790 Views

Ever since they put October between September and November. fionwe1987 - 29/08/2010 03:29:43 AM 842 Views
