Stephen king science fiction in Science Fiction & Fantasy Books

The Man in Black is dead, and Roland is about to be hurled into 20th-century America, occupying the mind of a man running cocaine on the New York/Bermuda shuttle. A brilliant work of dark fantasy inspired by Browning's romantic poem, "Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came".

Stephen King invites us back into the world of Roland the Gunslinger, in this, the eagerly anticipated fourth volume in his epic series of horror and fantasy. 'Wizard and Glass' picks up where the last book left off, with our hero, Roland, and his unlikely band of followers escaping from one world and slipping into the next. And it it is there that Roland tells them a story, one that details his discovery or something even more elusive than the Dark Tower: love. But his romance with the beautiful and quixotic Susan Delgado also has its dangers, as her world is torn apart by war. Here is Roland's journey to his own past, to a time when valuable lessons awaited him, lessons of loyalty and betrayal, love and loss. As he did in the first three volumes in the Dark Tower series, 'The Gunslinger', 'The Drawing of the Three', and 'The Waste Lands', Stephen King displays his marvelous talent for storytelling. 'Wizard and Glass' is Stephen King at his very best. Previously available only as a limited edition hardcover, the Plume trade paperback of 'Wizard and Glass' is the first publication made available to the general public.

Roland, the world's last gunslinger, tracks an enigmatic Man in Black toward a forbidding dark tower, fighting forces both mortal and other-worldly on his quest, in a revised and expanded edition of the classic fantasy novel. Simultaneous.
