The Gathering Storm (novel)
''The Gathering Storm'' is a fantasy novel by American writers Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson, the twelfth book in the series ''The Wheel of Time''. It was incomplete when Jordan died on September 16, 2007, from cardiac amyloidosis. His widow Harriet McDougal and his publisher Tom Doherty chose Sanderson to continue the book. Jordan originally intended to finish the series in a single volume titled ''A Memory of Light''. However, when Sanderson began writing the book, it became clear that a single volume would be too large to print. The expected final book was split into three volumes: ''The Gathering Storm'', '' Towers of Midnight'', and '' A Memory of Light''. The books would be published a year apart with the first volume, ''The Gathering Storm'', published on October 27, 2009; a week earlier than originally announced. Upon its release, it immediately rose to the No. 1 position on ''The New York Times'' hardcover fiction Best Seller list, making it the fifth cons ...

The Second World War (book Series)
World War II or the Second World War (1 September 1939 – 2 September 1945) was a global conflict between two coalitions: the Allies and the Axis powers. Nearly all of the world's countries participated, with many nations mobilising all resources in pursuit of total war. Tanks and aircraft played major roles, enabling the strategic bombing of cities and delivery of the first and only nuclear weapons ever used in war. World War II is the deadliest conflict in history, causing the death of 70 to 85 million people, more than half of whom were civilians. Millions died in genocides, including the Holocaust, and by massacres, starvation, and disease. After the Allied victory, Germany, Austria, Japan, and Korea were occupied, and German and Japanese leaders were tried for war crimes. The causes of World War II included unresolved tensions in the aftermath of World War I and the rise of fascism in Europe and militarism in Japan. Key events preceding the war includ ...

The Animated Series
''The'' is a grammatical article in English, denoting nouns that are already or about to be mentioned, under discussion, implied or otherwise presumed familiar to listeners, readers, or speakers. It is the definite article in English. ''The'' is the most frequently used word in the English language; studies and analyses of texts have found it to account for seven percent of all printed English-language words. It is derived from gendered articles in Old English which combined in Middle English and now has a single form used with nouns of any gender. The word can be used with both singular and plural nouns, and with a noun that starts with any letter. This is different from many other languages, which have different forms of the definite article for different genders or numbers.
