And The Gathering Storm is the first book in the final trilogy of Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time, ghostwritten (pun NOT intended) by Brandon Sanderson.

And also the first book in Winston Churchill's history of the Second World War, which is my firstthought when I hear the phrase.

Which is likely the source for the Star Wars title.

(I didn't know about Jordan til last week)

Interesting Note: Me and Priscellie got to meet Brandon Sanderson and Robert Jordan's widow at a Barnes and Noble signing this week. He is an awesome guy

And more interesting (and to bring it somewhere full circle) was that he had just finished reading Storm Front Cheesy

And even more cyclical, I got Sanderson to sign a copy of the first Mistborn novel for Jim.  It hit a lot of the same buttons for me as Codex Alera, and I thought he'd dig it.  Alas, Sanderson twittered about it and spoiled the surprise, but it was still fun to scheme!
