Stephen King

After surviving Blaine the Mono’s final crash, Roland and his ka-tet find themselves stranded in an alternate version of Topeka, Kansas, ravaged by a deadly superflu. As they follow a deserted highway toward a distant glass palace, Roland sits by a campfire and tells his companions the story that defines him — a tale of his youth in the seaside town of Hambry, where he fell in love with the beautiful Susan Delgado, and where he and his closest friends fought to stop the forces of the harrier John Farson from igniting Mid-World’s final war. It is Roland’s most personal story — one of love, loss, and the terrible price his quest has always demanded.
