Robert Jordan is thepen name of the American author James Rigney Jr. He used several over the course of his career, though Jordan was by far his most well known. To complicate matters, some reprints later used the more recognisable Jordan name alongside the original pen name in the format "Robert Jordan writing as..."^[1][2] This bibliography presents all of Rigney Jr.'s works, sorted chronologically by their original pen name.

All O'Neal works were first published byPopham Press- Harriet McDougal's personal imprint.

All Jordan works were first published byTor Books.

Some bibliographies incorrectly includeConan: King of Thieves; this was a working title of the second film and therefore also of the novel. The ISBN application was filed before the title revision.^[5] Jordan also compiled a well-knownConan chronology; this was printed in the 1987 bookConan the Defiant bySteve Perry.^[6]

All of Jordan's Conan books were repackaged into collected volumes in the 1990s:

Short stories

Encyclopedic works

Jordan's work was also adapted into agraphic novel series by Dabel Brothers, beginning in 2005. Only the first five issues ofNew Spring were published in Jordan's lifetime.

• Jordan claimed to have written dance and theatrical criticism under the name Chang Lung in the 1980s. He indicated in 1997 that only he had copies of it.^[12]
• Jordan also claimed to have worked as aghostwriter; specifically for an international intrigue or thriller. He mentioned the book in 1993.^[13][14][15] The work likely predatedThe Wheel of Time given that in 2005 he stated he had written nothing else since 1984.^[16]

Jordan spoke about several works he planned on producing after the completion ofThe Wheel of Time's main sequence. As he died before its completion, these works were left unfinished or unwritten.

Jordan spoke several times about writing additional works in the setting ofThe Wheel of Time, but did not leave detailed notes.Brandon Sanderson, who completed the unfinishedWheel of Time conclusion, has ruled out writing these side books, noting it would have gone against Jordan's wishes.^[17][18]

In the early 1990s Jordan began discussing his next fantasy trilogy, to follow the completion ofThe Wheel of Time. It was initially planned as a single book entitledShipwreck but Jordan later described it as two trilogies, with the second book titledShipwrecked and the series titledInfinity of Heaven. He said that it would be aShōgun-esque series about a man in his 30s who is shipwrecked in an unknown culture, which would be similar to Seanchan culture.^[19][20]

The main male character, who is shipwrecked there, comes from a place that might he considered a cross between Elizabethan England and the Italian city-states of the Renaissance with touches of the seventeenth century. I intend him to be a man in his thirties, a man of some experience and worldliness in his own culture (though this does him only occasional good where he finds himself), in contrast to Rand's innocence and naivete. The major female character is a noblewoman of the land where he is shipwrecked; by the law, whatever is cast up on the shores of her estates belongs to her: the ship, its cargo—its crew.

Jordan stated in 2005 that he had many ideas in his head and a good deal of it planned out but nothing yet on paper.^[22]

Jordan planned to write a book about his experiences in theVietnam War as far back as the 1970s. He adopted various pen-names through his career and never used his actual name- Rigney Jr., which was reserved for this Vietnam text.^[23] Jordan was concerned it was a difficult topic, stating that there were "...an awful lot of people who haven't come to grips with the war, what it did to them, how it changed them."^[24] By 2000 enough time had passed that he was doubtful about its cultural relevance, stating "If I wrote that Vietnam novel now, it would be a historical novel, and I'm not sure anybody's really interested anymore."^[23] He did however still intend to write it.^[25]
