The adventures of Roland, the last gunslinger and survivor of a civilized world that has "moved on." The fifth volume – and the first to be written after King's brush with death – in the seven-novel Dark Tower series inspired by the title of the Robert Browning poem Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came. Basis for the 2017 movie directed by Nikolaj Arcel, starring Katheryn Winnick, Idris Elba, and Matthew McConaughey. "An impressive work of mythic magnitude. May turn out to be Stephen King's greatest literary achievement." –The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
