About this book

Rand al'Thor, the enigmatic Dragon Reborn, embarks on a perilous quest to retrieve the fabled Horn of Valere and the cryptic Dagger of Shadar Logoth. Alongside his loyal companions, Rand navigates treacherous landscapes, encounters mythical creatures, and faces off against formidable foes. As the forces of light and darkness clash, intricate political machinations and deep-rooted prophecies unfurl. With each step, Rand discovers more about his own destiny and the immense power he wields. Filled with captivating world-building, intricate plot twists, and immersive magic systems, "The Great Hunt" weaves a grand tapestry of adventure, heroism, and the eternal struggle between good and evil.

Summary

“The Wheel of Time turns and Ages come and pass. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the Shadow. For centuries, gleemen have told of The Great Hunt of the Horn. Now the Horn itself is found: the Horn of Valere long thought only legend, the Horn which will raise the dead heroes of the ages. And it is stolen.” - from publisher

Reader reviews for The Great Hunt: Book Two of 'The Wheel of Time'

Review summary

This seller has earned a 4.27 of 5 Stars rating from internet customers.
4.27 / 5 (350014 total reviews)

Readers broadly consider The Great Hunt a stronger, more original sequel that improves on its predecessor’s pacing and scope. They praise the expanded world—especially the White Tower, Seanchan, and political intrigue—alongside multiple POV threads and a high-impact, climactic finale. Character development stands out, though Rand’s continued reluctance and some gender portrayals divide opinion. Despite occasional mid-book drag and Jordan’s repetitive, wordy style, the novel is seen as a compelling, foundational installment that hooks many to continue the series.

From the publisher

Soon to be an original series starring Rosamund Pike as Moiraine!

Robert Jordan's #1 New York Times bestselling epic fantasy series, The Wheel of Time(R), continues as Rand al'Thor and his companions set out to retrieve a powerful magical artifact from The Dark One's Shadowspawn in The Great Hunt.

For centuries, gleemen have told the tales of The Great Hunt of the Horn. So many tales about each of the Hunters, and so many Hunters to tell of...

Now the Horn itself is found: the Horn of Valere long thought only legend, the Horn which will raise the dead heroes of the ages.

And it is stolen.

In pursuit of the thieves, Rand al'Thor is determined to keep the Horn out of the grasp of The Dark One. But he has also learned that he is The Dragon Reborn--the Champion of Light destined to stand against the Shadow time and again. It is a duty and a destiny that requires Rand to uncover and master magical capabilities he never imagined he possessed.

Since its debut in 1990, The Wheel of Time(R) has captivated millions of readers around the globe with its scope, originality, and compelling characters. The last six books in series were all instant #1 New York Times bestsellers, and The Eye of the World was named one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read.

About the author

Robert Jordan was born in 1948 in Charleston, South Carolina. He taught himself to read when he was four with the incidental aid of a twelve-years-older brother, and was tackling Mark Twain and Jules Verne by five. He is a graduate of The Citadel, the Military College of South Carolina, with a degree in physics. He served two tours in Vietnam with the U.S. Army; among his decorations are the Distinguished Flying Cross with bronze oak leaf cluster, the Bronze Star with "V" and bronze oak leaf cluster, and two Vietnamese Gallantry Crosses with palm. A history buff, he has also written dance and theater criticism and enjoyed the outdoor sports of hunting, fishing, and sailing, and the indoor sports of poker, chess, pool, and pipe collecting.
Robert Jordan began writing in 1977 and went on to write The Wheel of Time(R), one of the most important and best selling series in the history of fantasy publishing with over 14 million copies sold in North America, and countless more sold abroad.
Robert Jordan died on September 16, 2007, after a courageous battle with the rare blood disease amyloidosis.
