A #1 national bestseller, The Gunslinger introduces listeners to one of Stephen King’s most powerful creations, Roland of Gilead: The Last Gunslinger. He is a haunting figure, a loner on a spellbinding journey into good and evil. 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.

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). It is “brilliant and fresh…and will leave you panting for more” (Booklist)." --Provided by the publisher   aAdult   xLauron, RodelloyGeneral EducationzFiction  aText in English   aMovie, TV & Video Game Tie-In Fiction  aSupernatural Thrillers   aTV, Movie & Game Tie-In Fiction  2ddccBK  cJanna [new]d07/10/2025  c13743d13743  00102ddc4070aUCBL_MAINbUCBL_MAINcFICd2025-07-10eBig Bad Wolf g190.00oF K58g 2003p3UCBL000025894r2025-07-10w2025-07-10yFIC
