It is brilliant and fresh...and will leave you panting for more ( Booklist )..
Inspired in part by the Robert Browning narrative poem, Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came, The Gunslinger is a compelling whirlpool of a story that draws one irretrievable to its center ( Milwaukee Sentinel ).
In his desolate world, which mirrors our own in frightening ways, Roland tracks The Man in Black, encounters an enticing woman named Alice, and begins a friendship with the boy from New York named Jake.
He is a haunting figure, a loner on a spellbinding journey into good and evil.
A #1 national bestseller, The Gunslinger introduces readers to one of Stephen King\'s most powerful creations, Roland of Gilead: The Last Gunslinger.
