- Book Synopsis
-
I wanted to go back to Mid-World, which was always the Territories by another name' - Stephen King
This is Stephen King and Peter Straub's epic and unforgettable finale to the Talisman Trilogy (including the novels The Talisman and Black House) and a wrapping up of the fate of the worlds in King's iconic, fiercely beloved Dark Tower epic. It is also a wonderful stand-alone novel, that will appeal to new readers, as well as the Constant Reader.
OTHER WORLDS THAN THESE is the story of Jack Sawyer, whom readers first met when he was twelve, crossing America and 'the territories' to save his mother's life, and met again in Black House, where Jack faces a child killer and the Crimson King (among other evils). In OTHER WORLDS THAN THESE Jack must stop a rampaging gang of infected teenagers from America-side, and the forces of the mysterious Gullet at the edge of MidWorld, before it destroys our world and all worlds. Jack is older now; his Ka-tet is fraying; and his task, nearly impossible.
Magnificent, riveting, full of heart, and humour, OTHER WORLDS THAN THESE is a spectacular, propulsive adventure.
Ideal for readers who:
- Are drawn to Jack Sawyer, the Territories or the wider Dark Tower mythology.
- Stay with epic fantasy-horror adventures with world-ending stakes.
- Welcome a blend of dread, heart and propulsive storytelling.
- Warm to series finales that still give new readers a clear way in.
