自1990年Robert Jordan的《The Wheel of Time®》携其首部作品《The Eye of the World》惊艳问世以来，读者们一直翘首以盼这部非凡史诗的最终篇章，该系列已以三十多种语言售出逾四千万册。2007年Robert Jordan去世时，所有人都担心这些收官篇章将永远无法面世。然而，知名奇幻作家Brandon Sanderson根据Jordan留下的笔记和草稿挺身而出，接手补全这部杰作。在完成了先后荣登《纽约时报》畅销榜榜首的《The Gathering Storm》（第12部）和《Towers of Midnight》（第13部）之后，

……那就是合法的数字发行（以及作者提到的极其坑爹的版税协议）。因为离谱的价格和/或推迟的发布日期，我已经放弃在亚马逊上买某些电子书了。比如罗伯特·乔丹的《光明回忆》（A Memory of Light），我揣着信用卡去亚马逊网站买……结果他们根本不卖电子版，只有纸质版。要是有电子书版的 Netflix，我也愿意付费，甚至可能比我现在付的还要多……
…that is legal distribution (and the awful royalty bargains the author mentions). I've desisted of buying some ebooks on Amazon due to unreasonable prices and/or delayed release dates. Case in point, A Memory of Light by Robert Jordan, I went credit card in hand to Amazon's site to buy it... but they're not selling it, only the paper version. I'd also pay for a Netflix ebook equivalent, probably more than I do for…
……更棘手的问题。我们与作者的大多数合同只授权我们在特定区域的分发权；我们不能单方面重写现有的协议。”我真的很想看看他们会怎么处理《光明回忆》（A Memory of Light，《时光之轮》大结局）。布兰登·桑德森一直在争取买精装本送电子书之类的福利，但几周前我在墨尔本见到他时，他说那些……
…harder problem. Most of our contracts with authors grant us rights only in certain territories; we can't just unilaterally rewrite existing agreements." I'm really interested to see what they do with a Memory of Light (the final wheel of time book). Brandon Sanderson has been pushing for things like getting a free ebook when you purchase the hardcover, but when I saw him in melb a few weeks ago he was saying those…
在署名由桑德森续写的那 3 本书中，前两本里他的创作比例要高于最后一卷。《光明回忆》（A Memory of Light）里有相当多核心场景是罗伯特·乔丹（RJ）亲自写完的。桑德森必须在前两本里出大力，把故事线按 RJ 的要求收尾，并让一切交汇收拢，以接上 RJ 已经写好的……
Of the 3 books Sanderson is credited as having written, he wrote more of the first two than the final volume. A Memory of Light had significant scenes written by RJ himself. Sanderson had to contribute heavily to the first 2 he wrote to get story lines wrapped up to RJ's specs, and to get everything to converge to match RJ's existing…
