Book Description:
All good things must come to an end, Constant Reader, and not even Stephen King can make a story that goes on forever. The tale of
Roland Deschain's relentless quest for the Dark Tower has, the author fears, sorely tried the patience of those who have followed it
from its earliest chapters. But attend to it a while longer, if it pleases you, for this volume is the last, and often the last things are best.
Roland's ka-tet remains intact, though scattered over wheres and whens. Susannah-Mia has been carried from the
Dixie Pig (in the summer of 1999) to a birthing room -- really a chamber of horrors -- in Thunderclap's Fedic;
Jake and Father Callahan, with Oy between them, have entered the restaurant on Lex and Sixty-first with
weapons drawn, little knowing how numerous and noxious are their foes. Roland and Eddie are with John Cullum in Maine,
in 1977, looking for the site on Turtleback Lane where "walk-ins" have been often seen. They want desperately
to get back to the others, to Susannah especially, and yet they have come to realize that the world they need to escape is the only
one that matters.
