The waste lands

King, Stephen 1947- (author.).

Summary: Some time has passed following the life-altering events of <i>the Drawing of the Three</i>, with Eddie and Susannah Dean having permanently crossed over into the dying reality of Roland of Gilead, the last of the gunslingers. As Roland now trains Eddie and Susannah to be gunslingers in their own right, he quickly finds there are some missing pieces in their growing bond. One of them is Jake Chambers, a boy who should be dead but is still very much alive in the New York City of 1977. The other is Roland's sanity itself, which is slipping away as he grapples with the paradox of Jake's either real or imagined existence. But these will soon be the least of Roland's concerns, as the path to the Dark Tower is paved with even more dangerous and deadlier surprises awaiting them all...

    The third volume in the #1 nationally bestselling Dark Tower Series, involving the enigmatic Roland (the last gunfighter) and his ongoing quest for the Dark Tower, is &;Stephen King at his best&; (School Library Journal).

    Several months have passed since The Drawing of the Three, and in The Waste Lands, Roland&;s two new tet-mates have become trained gunslingers. Eddie Dean has given up heroin, and Odetta&;s two selves have joined, becoming the stronger and more balanced personality of Susannah Dean. But Roland altered ka by saving the life of Jake Chambers, a boy who&;in Roland&;s world&;has already died. Now Roland and Jake exist in different worlds, but they are joined by the same madness: the paradox of double memories. Roland, Susannah, and Eddie must draw Jake into Mid-World and then follow the Path of the Beam all the way to the Dark Tower. There are new evils&;new dangers to threaten Roland&;s little band in the devastated city of Lud and the surrounding wastelands, as well as horrific confrontations with Blaine the Mono, the piratical Gasher, and the frightening Tick-Tock Man.

    The Dark Tower Series continues to show Stephen King as a master of his craft. What lands, what peoples has he visited that are so unreachable to us except in the pages of his incredible books? Now Roland&;s strange odyssey continues. The Waste Lands follows The Gunslinger and The Drawing of the Three as the third volume in what may be the most extraordinary and imaginative cycle of tales in the English language.
