No.
Robert Jordan died in September 2007, so his estate and publishers hired Brandon Sanderson to write part 12 to conclude series.
It turned out, however, that The Wheel weaves as the Wheel wills, and even the mighty Publishers are only the thread of the Pattern and it will take a few more spins of The Wheel Of Time until the series is finished. At the moment that part 12 already has three parts. Please remember, that when the grand master writer Jordan started to write series he was planning some three books. By writing the book one he apparently unleashed some forces that can not be stopped by mere mortals, or even Publishers.

If you want to see how the series end, read following spoiler I have copied in its entirety from Slashdot comment ;-)
Spoiler:
Loial kills Rand al'Thor. But only after Rand flips out and kills Elayne Avhienda and Min in a rather grisly way.

Fearing reprisals, the Ogier declare war on the White Tower and lose. The entire Ogier race goes extinct.

A pack of wolves mistake Perrin's continued brooding for an illness and give him a mercy killing.

Nynaeve breaks her neck in a freak braid-pulling incident.

Mat wakes up and finds Bobby Ewing in his shower and realizes it was all a dream.


If you want to refresh your memory and you want to finish the series without rereading many thousand pages you have already read there is a reread project at Tor.

Give it a try, it is absolutely Awesome (literally Awesome ;-) )
