<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Roland, the Last Gunslinger, and his companions--Eddie Dean and Susannah--cross the desert of damnation, drawing ever closer to the Dark Tower, a legion of fiendish foes, and revelations that could alter the world.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b><b>Now a major motion picture starring Matthew McConaughey and Idris Elba</b> <p/> 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" (<i>School Library Journal</i>).</b> <p/>Several months have passed since <i>The Drawing of the Three</i>, and in <i>The Waste Lands</i>, Roland's two new <i>tet</i>-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 <i>ka</i> 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. <p/>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. <i>The Waste Lands</i> follows <i>The Gunslinger</i> and <i>The Drawing of the Three</i> as the third volume in what may be the most extraordinary and imaginative cycle of tales in the English language.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Enjoyable...whets the appetite for more.-- "Bangor Daily News"<br><br>Splendidly tense--rip-roaring.-- "Publishers Weekly"<br><br>The reigning King of American popular literature.-- "Los Angeles Daily News"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Stephen King is the author of more than sixty books, all of them worldwide bestsellers.
