In 1990, Robert Jordan’s The Eye of the World was published. Little did we know then that it would turn out to be the first book in The Wheel of Time, an epic fantasy saga the likes of which are rarely seen.
Fast-forward twenty-three years, through countless groans over dodgy cover art, the fruitless attempts at waiting for the paperback edition and, most terribly of all, the death of Robert Jordan (though the subsequent appointment of the excellent Brandon Sanderson to finish the story eased everyone’s mind), and we find ourselves on the eve of the publication of A Memory of Light. This fourteenth – and final – part has been hotly anticipated by fans the world over. It will go on sale on January 8th, 2013.
We are GIVING AWAY three copies of A Memory of Light!
Just mail win@abc.nl by noon, January 8th, 2013. Please include ‘Memory of Light’ in your subject and let us know at which ABC you would like to collect it (we assume your minions are not to be trusted with picking up such a precious tome!).
We will notify the winners on January 8th. If you haven’t heard anything by 5 PM, assume the worst – and then remember that we are open until at least 7 PM, so you can still get yours hands on a copy!

I hope you are well into the book by now, then, Stephan! I also hope it will be a worthy conclusion.
As if I’d want to wait ’til noon! I’ll be waiting at the door when the store opens tomorrow morning.
So glad both of you are big fans – but be sure to mail win@abc.nl to have a chance at that free copy.
Be sure to put “Memory of Light” in the subject, and let us know at which ABC you want to collect it.
Huge fan of The Wheel of Time! I would love to win a copy of AMoL, to finish my collection! Let the Dragon ride again on the winds of time!
Memory of Light!
