Publisher Description

Soon to be an original series starring Rosamund Pike as Moiraine! Robert Jordan’s #1 New York Times bestselling epic fantasy series, The Wheel of Time®, continues as Rand al’Thor and his companions set out to retrieve a powerful magical artifact from The Dark One’s Shadowspawn in The Great Hunt. For centuries, gleemen have told the tales of The Great Hunt of the Horn. So many tales about each of the Hunters, and so many Hunters to tell of... Now the Horn itself is found: the Horn of Valere long thought only legend, the Horn which will raise the dead heroes of the ages. And it is stolen. In pursuit of the thieves, Rand al’Thor is determined to keep the Horn out of the grasp of The Dark One. But he has also learned that he is The Dragon Reborn—the Champion of Light destined to stand against the Shadow time and again. It is a duty and a destiny that requires Rand to uncover and master magical capabilities he never imagined he possessed. Since its debut in 1990, The Wheel of Time® has captivated millions of readers around the globe with its scope, originality, and compelling characters. The last six books in series were all instant #1 New York Times bestsellers, and The Eye of the World was named one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read.The Wheel of Time® New Spring: The Novel #1 The Eye of the World #2 The Great Hunt #3 The Dragon Reborn #4 The Shadow Rising #5 The Fires of Heaven #6 Lord of Chaos #7 A Crown of Swords #8 The Path of Daggers #9 Winter's Heart #10 Crossroads of Twilight #11 Knife of Dreams By Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson #12 The Gathering Storm #13 Towers of Midnight #14 A Memory of Light By Robert Jordan Warrior of the Altaii By Robert Jordan and Teresa Patterson The World of Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time By Robert Jordan, Harriet McDougal, Alan Romanczuk, and Maria Simons The Wheel of Time Companion By Robert Jordan and Amy Romanczuk Patterns of the Wheel: Coloring Art Based on Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time

Quotes

  • “Jordan has come to dominate the world Tolkien began to reveal....The battle scenes have the breathless urgency of firsthand experience....The evil laced into the forces of good, the dangers latent in any promised salvation, the sense of unavoidable onslaught of unpredictable events bear the marks of American national experience during the last three decades.

    - The New York Times

  • Adventure and mystery and dark things that move in the night—a combination of Robin Hood and Stephen King that is hard to resist. Furthermore, Jordan makes the reader put down the book regretting the wait for the next title in the series.

    - Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

  • The Wheel of Time is a fantasy tale seldom equaled and still less often surpassed in English.

    - Chicago Sun-Times

  • Read by Kate Reading and Michael Kramer, who breathe life into this epic tale.

    " Robert Jordan's sequel in his breakout Fantasy story series. Jordan is known for his exceptional character development, detailed, intermingling plots, and action-packed stories that build to epic conclusions that still leave you wanting more. Jordan brings the story to life with his flair for detailed story telling, believable dialogue, and fast paced story. Great story to read, even better with the dual voiced narration. "

    " Though this book had some lulls in the storyline, Jordan kept the same grandiose epic feel of the series going. I think Lord of the Rings will forever be the greatest fantasy epic ever written, but this series is now second place in my personal opinion. It is quickly earning a special place in my literary heart. "

    " This book was kind of lukewarm for me. Really just another step to getting to the end of the series. Basically, much of it was they loose the Horn of Valere (and Matt's knife) and spend the whole book trying to get it back after getting it back and loosing it again half way through the story. Once again things seem to just fall into place a little too perfectly for me, but maybe because that is just how the wheel weaves the pattern for everything to work out in the end for everyone:) "

    " This book much like its processor was a strange and wonderful tale, while the charicters can be a tad flat at times the depth of the story makes up for it. This story dosent allow you to see who is in the right and who is in the wrong, or even who's who, until the battle is not only over but forgotten in the new battles build up, if then. You simply cannot say that even Rand is good, prophesy may meen something completely different than what you would like to think. "

    " The plot thickens as Rand, Perrin, and Mat weave the lives and events around them into the pattern of time. The Great Hunt adds depth and complexity to everything in Robert Jordan's world and leaves you knowing that there are countless more enjoyable hours to spend with the series. "

    " Wish I could give it 6 stars! To say I found it to be a "creative fantasy" might seem redundant, but it literally applies here. Compared to other books of its genre it is creative, innovative, and intricate! this might have to go on my "favorites" shelf. "
