| Summary |
Stephen King returns to his bestselling Dark Tower saga in November 2003 with the publication of the fifth book in the series, "Wolves of the Calla." In preparation for this event, Penguin Group (USA) announces new trade paperback editions of the first four books in the series! |
|
"In the first book of this brilliant series, now expanded and revised by the author, Stephen King introduces readers to one of his most enigmatic heroes, Roland of Gilead, the last gunslinger. He is a haunting figure, a loner on a spellbinding journey into good and evil. In his desolate world, which frighteningly mirrors our own, Roland pursues the man in black, encounters an alluring woman named Alice, and begins a friendship with the boy form New York called Jake. Both grippingly realistic and eerily dreamlike, The Gunslinger leaves readers eagerly awaiting the next chapter."--Back cover. |
