About this ebook

Now with a stunning new cover look comes the first captivating volume in King's epic fantasy series, THE DARK TOWER.

'The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed.' The iconic opening line of Stephen King's groundbreaking series, The Dark Tower, introduces one of his most enigmatic and powerful heroes: Roland of Gilead, the Last Gunslinger.

Roland is a haunting figure, a loner, on a spellbinding journey toward the mysterious Dark Tower, in a desolate world which frighteningly echoes our own.

On his quest, Roland begins a friendship with a kid from New York named Jake, encounters an alluring woman and faces an agonising choice between damnation and salvation as he pursues the Man in Black.

Never read any Stephen King books before and this didn't disappoint. Took a while to get into it but once I adapted to the writing style I was hooked.

Can't remember a time when I read a book so quickly. I'd have given it 5 stars if I'd had got more background on the characters and the greater world, but I suspect that'll come with the rest of the books.

These novels are very engaging. I dont understand how King Signed it off for "One" Movie. I bet it was because he got Mathew Mcconaughey to play Walter. It should have been a TV series, a long one .
