..it's due out October 2005. Here's an article from dragonmount.com
About this novel: The eleventh book in the Wheel of Time series is entitled Knife of Dreams. Robert Jordan sent us this information after we heard the rumor: That is the title I've given [to Tor Books]. Knife of Dreams. It came to me much earlier in the writing than usual. Wait until you see the epigram I've written for it. When is it due out? Knife of Dreams is due out in October, 2005. This is the date that Robert Jordan is telling everyone anyway. If this date changes, you'll hear about it. As he has in the past, we also suspect that Robert Jordan will go on book tour in the U.S. when this book is released. What will happen in this book? Right now, you're guess is as good as ours. Besides the usual speculation, Robert Jordan has teased us with this info that was found on Tor's website. When RJ was asked for more info about the origins of Mat's ancient memories, RJ replied with: ... At least a partial answer will be coming up in the next main sequence book... hmmmm.... Also, the way Robert Jordan is talking, this next book seems like it may start to deliver on a lot of exciting events: I think [Knife of Dreams] will have enough incident to satisfy anyone, certainly. In April 2004, Amazon UK published a general summary of the book. It's an unofficial summary, and nothing that came from Robert Jordan or his team. In other words, it was written by somebody who had no special inside information about the next plot. Robert Jordan's epic fantasy saga The Wheel of Time is now firmly established as a classic of the genre and a world- wide bestseller. Now the series continues with the eagerly-awaited eleventh volume ... The Seanchan Empire has primed their invading armies and they are advancing rapidly. The people look to the Aes Sedai sisterhood for protection, but the Aes Sedai have grown complacent after generations of authority. Yet as their numbers have dwindled, a secret society has been hiding under the White Tower's very nose. A society rich in power that could make all the difference in the final conflict ... Yet Rand Al'Thor, the Dragon Reborn, is the only one who can triumph against the Dark One, and he will have to battle against the Seanchan, the White Tower and betrayal before the last battle. As we get more confirmed hints, we'll mention them here. Rand has to battle betrayal too? Now I'm wondering who it is. :-/

Yeah I'll bet. Right until Robert Jordan runs out of money to do lines of coke off of Thai hookers' asses, then he'll be back with Book 13: Cash Grab.

Oh come on, Gash, there have been serieses...es...es... that have lasted longer then this one. What about Brian Jaques? Or Terry Pratchett? They've both written more books then this guy in the same series and I wouldn't call them Cash Grabs.

Nah, he's got two more prequils scheduled to come in once book 12 is done, but those are more of a candy style book since everyone already knows what happens.

Dolash, these books suck but nerds keep buying them. That's my point.

I just got the first one out of the library. The prologue was good, and the maps are pretty... now I just have to set aside a few days for some serious book-wormin. Should be fun :)
