The final book in King's epic The Dark Tower series, sees gunslinger Roland on a roller-coaster ride of exhilarating triumph and aching loss in his unrelenting quest to reach the dark tower.Roland Deschain and his ka-tet have journeyed together and apart, scattered far and wide across multilayered worlds of wheres and whens. The destinies of Roland, Susannah, Jake, Father Callahan, Oy, and Eddie are bound in the Dark Tower itself, which now pulls them ever closer to their own endings and beginnings and into a maelstrom of emotion, violence, and discovery.And as he closes in on the Tower, Roland's every step is shadowed by a terrible and sinister creation. Finally, he realises, he may have to walk the last dark strait alone...
“Pure storytelling. . . . An absorbing, constantly surprising novel filled with true narrative magic. . . . An archetypal quest fantasy distinguished by its uniquely Western flavor, its emotional complexity and its sheer imaginative reach. . . . The series as a whole—and this final volume in particular—is filled with brilliantly rendered set pieces, cataclysmic encounters, and moments of desolating tragedy. King holds it all together through sheer narrative muscle and his absolute commitment to his slowly unfolding—and deeply personal—vision. . . .
“A tale of epic proportions . . . [and] brilliant complexity. . . . Those who have faithfully journeyed alongside Roland, Eddie, Susannah, Jake, and Oy will find their loyalty richly rewarded. . . . King has certainly reached the top of his game.”
“Stunning . . . cataclysmic. . . . His writing is as powerful as ever.”
“Plenty of action and quite a few unforeseen bombshells.”
“Equal parts Western, high fantasy, horror and science fiction, the series is one of the wildest pastiches ever put between covers. All through the series there are references and tips of the hat to iconic works of pop culture, including J.R.R. Tolkien’s
“The suspense master takes readers right over the edge.”
“Draws to a feverish, page-turning ending.”
“He’s done it again. . . . Stephen King is no ordinary wordsmith.”
“Vintage King. . . . [He] knows how to jolt his readers.”
“Terrific entertainment. . . . Goes down like a shot of moonshine, hot and clean.”
“Bear[s] the King trademark of creative energy and imagination.”
“Well-crafted, nuanced stories.”
“King writes more fluently than ever . . . with simple, unexpected grace.”
“A tour de force . . . [with] more passages of power and imagination than some writers produce in a lifetime. . . . [An] entertaining must-read.”
“This is wonderful fiction. . . . [King’s] take on the ’60s—including the effects of Vietnam—is scarily accurate.”
