In one short decade, Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time has become the bestselling American fantasy series of all time—comparable in depth and scope to J.R.R. Tolkien’s legendary trilogy, The Lord of The Rings. Now, the first two titles in the series, The Eye of the World and The Great Hunt, are available unabridged on CD.

In the THE EYE OF THE WORLD three young friends; Rand, Matt and Perrin are attacked by subhuman monsters, bestial Trollocs. With the help of Lady Moiraine, an Aes Sedai, a woman who can wield the One Power and her Warder, Lan--the young boys flee their homeland. But they are pursued relentlessly by the forces of the evil Dark One--and begin an adventure across an imaginative, fantastical world of strange wonders and deadly horror--where goodness stands on the brink of destruction--for the Wheel of Time is weaving a web in the pattern of ages, a web to entangle the world.

  • The start of my favorite series

    It unfolds in the traditional Tolkein archetype before branching out and quickly becoming its own epic fantasy. I highly recommend the series.

    Pretty darn good! Every so often I'm in the mood for a good fantasy book for pure leisure purposes. The Eye of the World is the first book in The Wheel of Time series. The series has yet to publish the 14th and 15th books. When it's finished there will be over 10,500 pages of reading material in all. Needless to say, I'm glad that I have a huge list of books ahead of me whenever I'm in the mood to relax with a good story.

  • I haven't finished it yet but it takes a long time to get to the action. It's kinda of a copy of the Lord Of
    The Rings in some ways.

    It is hard to review a series with the prestige of the Wheel of Time. Spanning some 10,000 pages over 13 books with 2 remaining (published post mortem) the series has a devoted following and I must confess to being at one with these fans.

    I have lost count of the times I have read and reread this series over the past 18 years, as addicted now as when I began reading it as a teen.

    Epic, with elements of high fantasy and a felicity of style that drags the mind further into Jordan's world than you expected to go.

    A must for people who enjoy epic fantasy.
