Under the name of Robert Jordan, he also wrote several books in the 'Conan the Barbarian' series as well as The Wheel of Time. Under the pen name Reagan O'Neal he wrote the Fallon series, a historical romance.
While many books in the fantasy genre follow the same basic premise, that of an ordinary person living a quiet life that is suddenly thrust into adventure and is central to defeating an evil overlord, it has been noted by many that Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth series and Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time are especially similar.
The fantasy series, The Wheel of Time, by the late Robert Jordan (pen name of James Oliver Rigney, Jr.) is usually classified as high fantasy or epic fantasy. This is in contrast to being classifed under other popularly used categories such as contemporary/urban fantasy, "sword-and-sorcery" fantasy, and historical fantasy.
Notable authors and some of their work that are similarly classified include:
* J. R. R. Tolkien -- The Lord of the Rings trilogy and companion works * David Eddings -- The Belgariad; The Malloreon; The Elenium series
* Ursula Le Guin -- Earthsea series * L. E. Modesitt, Jr. -- The Spellsong Cycle; The Saga of Recluce * Raymond E. Feist -- The Riftwar Cycle * Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman -- The Death Gate Cycle * Jude Fisher -- Fool's Gold trilogy
1. The Mistborn series by Brandon Sanderson (who picked up for Robert Jordan wrapping up the Wheel of Time) is very good. The audio version is narrated by Michael Kramer, who does a great job with it.
