The Maelstrom was created when the Well of Eternity collapsed in on itself during the Great Sundering.
There are rumors (unconfirmed at best) that in Cataclysm, Deathwing (the new big baddie) will emerge from Deepholm and enter Azeroth through the Maelstrom.
The Maelstrom is located dead center in the world map and depicted by a giant swirly vortex.
There are rumors that a future expansion to World of Warcraft will feature the maelstrom, but as of right now (06/03/2010) there is no interacting with the maelstrom as there is absolutely no way to even get there.
Prolly, as there are SO MUCH of warcraft that are not yet been explored, The Maelstrom for example.
I would start with the War of the Ancients Trilogy (obviously book one) as it is a well written work and gives a brief backdrop to some of the "why" and "what" in Warcraft lore (the creation of the Maelstrom, the First Great War, Illidan and Malfurion, and others)
The Maelstrom was created by the Titans, powerful god-like beings in the Warcraft universe, to contain and imprison the corrupted Old God known as Yogg-Saron. It serves as a swirling vortex of energy deep beneath Northrend, acting as a prison for the malevolent entity.
There is no such thing as World of Warcraft: The Frozen Throne. It is called Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne. World of Warcraft is much different.
