Whether you love his ingenuity or hate his rampant borrowing from other literature, myth, and culture, enjoy all of the books or just up until "Fires of Heaven, when they started to suck", you

yeah, a good chunk of the last book is already done, plus he's outlined and plot pointed the rest of it, and told his wife and brother a few days before kicking it (i wonder why), and there's tons of notes and tons of guys who wanna finish it. it'll come out, but it won't be the same, y'know?

See I told you, I feel reall rotten for telling you about it. But I guess you would have been even more pissed off if you started asking about when the last book is coming out, only to have people say "Oh, he died years ago, where were you?"
