But Rand dares not fight until he possesses all the surviving seals on the Dark One's prison and has dealt with the Seanchan, who threaten to overrun all nations this side of the Aryth Ocean and increasingly seem too entrenched to be fought off.

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.

It has been 20 years since the end of the war. The dictatorial Augurs - once thought of almost as gods - were overthrown and wiped out during the conflict, their much-feared powers mysteriously failing them. Those who had ruled under them, men and women with a lesser ability known as the Gift, avoided the Augurs' fate only by submitting themselves to the rebellion's Four Tenets.

Kitchen-boy Simon is bored, restless and 14 years old - a dangerous combination. It seems, however, that his life has just taken a turn for the better when he's apprenticed to his castle's resident wizard. As Simon's learning to read and write under Doctor Morgenes' tutelage, forces greater than he could possible imagine are gathering: forces which will change Simon's life - and his world - forever. Following the death of Good King John, Osten Ard is plunged into civil war as his sons battle for control of the fabled Dragonbone Chair - the country's throne as well as the symbol of its power.

Once but a humble kitchen boy, Simon is now Simon Snowlock, dragonslayer and bearer of the mythical sword Thorn.

Wonderful - (but incomplete)
I've listened to Michael & Kate read all 12 books, some books more than 3 times. It was so odd to hear "Rand's voice" answering questions about reading books :)
This interview is another great snippet into the world that Jordan created but has been enhanced by artists like Michael and Kate.
thanks
P.S. The interview cuts off abruptly, in mid sentence at 12 minutes. Audible, please re-record the complete interview.

Where is the rest of the Audio? This is something I really wanted to hear and it came to such an abrupt end, rather unfortunate; still worth a listen at any rate.

Cuts off!
The audio cuts off at 12 minutes! I listened to the original posting of this on Tor.com, but it's no longer there. There is a lot of great material in the rest of the interview, and it's really interesting to listen to. Dear Audible: please fix this so the whole interview is there.

what a delight to get to know the narrators
I had no idea the narrators of these stories were married, and the knowledge brings a whole new dimension to the interplay between the female and male voices in the books. I also loved getting to know them a little bit better, and hearing about some of the challenges of reading these stories.

Truncated
I was very intrigued when I saw this become available - after having listened to Kramer/Reading's excellent narration of the entire series, I had been growing more curious about the thoughts of the narrators.
The interview was interesting enough - though a bit repetitive. Most frustrating is that it abruptly comes to an end, and seems quite incomplete. It's almost like it was cut short, perhaps with further questions and answers left out.

Sure it cuts off short - it's free!! But from the short excerpt, you get enough information to see if you like Wilson's work, or not. And I think she's great!
