Product Description
Making “right narrative magic” (The Washington Post) at every revelatory turn, Stephen King surpasses all expectation in the stunning final volume of his seven-part epic masterwork. Entwining tales and worlds from a vast and complex canvas, here is the conclusion readers have long awaited — breath-takingly imaginative, boldly visionary, and wholly entertaining.
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.Amazon.com Review
At one point in this final book of the Dark Tower series, the character Stephen King (added to the plot in Song of Susannah) looks back at the preceding pages and says “when this last book is published, the readers are going to be just wild.” And he’s not kidding.
After a journey through seven books and over 20 years, King’s Constant Readers finally have the conclusion they’ve been both keenly awaiting and silently dreading. The tension in the Dark Tower series has built steadily from the beginning and, like in the best of King’s novels, explodes into a violent, heart-tugging climax as Roland and his ka-tet finally near their goal. The body count in The Dark Tower is high. The gunslingers come out shooting and face a host of enemies, including low men, mutants, vampires, Roland’s hideous quasi-offspring Mordred, and the fearsome Crimson King himself. King pushes the yucky-out factor at times–Roland’s lesson on tanning (no, not sun tanning) is brutal–but the magic of the series remains strong and readers will feel the pull of the Tower as fervently as ever as the tale draws to a close. During this sentimental journey, King ties up loose ends left hanging from the 15 non-series novels and tales that are deeply entwined in the fabric of Mid-World through characters like Randall Flagg (The Stand and others) or Father Callahan (‘Salem’s Lot). When it finally arrives, the long awaited conclusion will place King’s heap fans satisfied but wishing there were still more to come.
In King’s memoir On Writing, he tells of an ancient woman who wrote him after reading the early books in the Dark Tower series. She was dying, she said, and didn’t expect to see the end of Roland’s quest. Could King tell her? Does he reach the Tower? Does he save it? Sadly, King said he did not know himself, that the tale was making itself as it went along. Wherever that woman is now (the clearing at the end of the path, perhaps?), let’s hope she has a copy of The Dark Tower. Surely she would agree it’s been worth the wait. –Benjamin Reese
