In this fantastical third book is the series, Stephen King once again takes readers on a journey of incomparable imagination. Roland, The Last Gunslinger, is moving ever closer to the Dark Tower, which haunts his dreams and nightmares. As he and his friends cross a desert of damnation in their macabre new world, revelations begin to unfold about who--and what--is driving him forward. A blend of riveting action and powerful drama, The Waste Lands leaves readers breathlessly awaiting the next chapter.

And the tower is closer...
