With The Waste Lands, the third masterful novel in Stephen King's epic saga, The Dark Tower, we again enter the realm of the mightiest imagination of our time. King's hereo, Roland, the Last Gunslinger, moves ever closer to the Dark Tower of his dreams and nightmares--as he crosses a desert of damnation in a macabre world that is a twisted mirror image of our own. With him are those he has drawn to this world, street-smart Eddie Dean and courageous wheelchair-bound Susannah. Ahead of him are mind-rending revelations about who he is and whawt is driving him. Against him is arrayed a swelling legion of fiendish foes both more and less than human. And as the pace of action and adventure, discovery and danger pulse-poundingly quickens, the reader is inescapably drawn into a breathtaking drama that is both hauntingly dreamlike...and eerily familiar. The Waste Lands is a triumph of storytelling sorcery--and further testament to Stephen King's novelistic mastery.

Work Description
Junto com Roland estão dois companheiros que ele levou consigo para esse universo: Eddie Dean, um ex-dependente químico, e Susannah, nova identidade da mulher que combina no mesmo corpo duas personalidades distintas. À sua frente estão as extraordinárias revelações sobre quem ele é e o que motiva sua busca. E contra Roland se perfila uma legião cada vez mais numerosa de inimigos, humanos ou não. À medida que o ritmo da ação, da descoberta e do perigo se acelera, o leitor é irremediavelmente absorvido por um drama espetacular, ao mesmo tempo assustador como um pesadelo... e estranhamente familiar.
