THIS IS THE PATH OF THE BEAM, THE WAY OF THE TOWER, AND THE TIME OF YOUR DRAWING. BE TRUE;.STAND; COME TO ME.

Through time and waste and divided dreams, the last of the gunslingers turn their faces to the Turtle and travel the path of the Beam. And come, when Eddie unlocks the key from the branch and Roland gives the promise he may not keep, to the Drawing of Jake, the undead boy who is one of the many who are one ... Bound together in thought and treachery, pursued by the Ageless Stranger, they face the perils of Lud and the Tick-Tock Man to reach the Cradle of Blaine the Mono, who is truth and danger and will ransom their lives for a riddle. And still the Dark tower beckons, where death lies in the heart of the rose ...

And don't miss: The Dark Tower 1: …

Review of 'The Waste Lands' on 'Goodreads'

One of the things I like about this series is that it's not just fantasy or sci-fi. When an author creates a new world that is either in the far future, on another planet, or completely new, there are certain limitations you have. Here, Stephen King has created a parallel universe to our world. He can use magic, technology, anachronisms, and historical references. It makes for a unexpected story and allows Stephen King to be very creative. So much so, that these books are very atypical for Stephen King, for the notable exception of the scene with the Haunted House. That was classic Stephen King.
