Despite getting better and better with each season, Prime Video ultimately cancelled The Wheel of Time — and we’re still angry over it.

    I heard a rumour that the choice of show was between Wheel Of Time and Julian May’s Saga Of Pliocene Exile (my favourite sci-fi / fantasy series). At the time I was gutted we missed out but, seeing what Amazon did with WOT, I think we dodged a bullet.

    I’ll try to upload a photo by Nick Dudman who was commissioned to make some artwork for the proposed SPE show (Felice at the Ship’s grave).

        I’d definitely recommend it. The series is really 4 books that split the story into 2 parts: The Many Coloured Land and The Golden Torc comprise Part 1, and then Part 2 leads towards an amazing finale with The Nonborn King and The Adversary.

        If you want more books from that universe, there’s a link book (Intervention) that joins the Saga of Pliocene Exile to the Galactic Milieu Trilogy, comprising Jack The Bodiless, Diamond Mask and Magnificat.
