It looks like they found someone other than Harriet to write the last book. For those of you that don't know; the Wheel of Time has been this long stretching epic fantasy series that has captured many fans. I'm personally a fan and have been reading since book 4 came out on shelves.
One of the largest complaints that was had about the series, after book 4 was that Harriet, Robert Jordan's wife had a significant writing influence on 3 of the middle books. These books while not bad, weren't nearly as good as the previous books in the series and fans rejoiced with the last several books as Robert took back his lead.
As things would have it though, Robert sadly died on September 16th, 2007 and there has been a great fear that Harriet was going to be the ghost writer that finished the series. Thankfully that isn't going to be the case and a new person has stepped up. That person is going to be Brandon Sanderson. It looks like Brandon has done several other fantasy series but I haven't read a single one of them, so I don't know if he is going to be the guy that does it for us.
You can look at the official Robert Jordan Blog which has a post by Harriet and you can also look at Brandon Sanderson's page to get a feel for who he is. Good luck to us all.
