The third book in the best-selling series "The Dark Tower." Parts of this epic fantasy series were nominated for the Locus Award and the British Fantasy Award. Over 10 million copies sold worldwide.

Months after The Gunslinger, Roland's two new companions have become skilled gunslingers. Eddie Dean has kicked his heroin habit, and the two personalities of Odetta have merged, creating Susannah Dean. In a battle in 1977, Roland saved the life of Jake Chambers, a boy who—in Roland's time and world—has already died. Now Roland and Jake exist in different worlds, but they are united by the same madness: the paradox of double memories.

Roland, Susannah, and Eddie must bring Jake to Mid-World and then proceed to the Dark Tower. But evil lurks... In The Wastelands, Roland's astonishing adventure continues, establishing "The Dark Tower" as the most imaginative series in English literature.
