Fantasy novelist Robert Jordan dies
Author Robert Jordan, whose hugely popular Wheel of Time fantasy novel series has sold millions of copies, has died at age 58 of a rare blood disease, it has been reported.
Jordan died on Sunday of complications from primary amyloidosis with cardiomyopathy, his personal assistant, Maria Simons, told the Associated Press.
The blood disease caused the walls of the author's heart to thicken.
Jordan's books include The Eye of the World, Knife of Dreams, New Spring: the Novel, The Great Hunt, Lord of Chaos and The Path of Daggers.
Most of Jordan's books have made The New York Times' best sellers list.
