I just found out today that novelist 'James Oliver Rigney' aka "Robert Jordan" passed away. He was a famous sci-fi fantasy writer that pretty much changed the way sci-fi fantasy was written. Without him, George RR Martin probably never would have came out with my favorite series "A Song of Ice and Fire". I was just starting book 1 in the "wheel of time series" and now I dont know If I should continue reading seeing as how it wa a continous series and he was in the process of finishing the 12th and final one before he passed away.
