	The Dark Tower (2004 novel) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Dark Tower is the seventh and final book of novelist Stephen King's Dark Tower series, published September 21, 2004 (King's birthday) by Donald M. Grant Publishers, and illustrated by Michael Whelan.
		Fans worldwide, concerned that King would never finish the series, especially after the author was nearly killed in 1999, breathed a collective sigh of relief at the long awaited completion of the epic story that took King more than thirty years to write.
		If the reader does not heed the warning, the story resumes with Roland climbing to the top of the Dark Tower, and as he opens the final door, to his horror, he realizes he has reached the Tower countless times before.

		This seventh DARK TOWER book is the long-awaited conclusion to Stephen King's epic horror/dark fantasy/post-apocalyptic SF series, wrapping up the adventures of gunslinger Roland of Gilead and his companions as they fulfill their quest to locate the Dark Tower, a structure vital to the stability of all the worlds.
		The long march to the Dark Tower began in 1970 when Stephen King, still a fledgling writer with outsized ambitions, was an undergraduate at the University of Maine.

	The SF Site: Climbing the Tower Part One: The Gunslinger (2003)
		Time has become twisted or warped ("When one quests for the Dark Tower, time is a matter of no concern at all," says King), the magnetic poles are drifting, civilization exists in a twilight state, and reality is in an advanced phase of decay.
		Something has corrupted the tower, and Roland intends to fix it, though how, or the nature of what such a confrontation entails (literal, figurative) is here a matter of vague legends and myth.
		There are elements of dark fantasy, the invocation of spirits (blended with science -- Roland uses mescaline to enhance a "speaking" trance), the magical resurrection of the dead, and the blasted apocalyptic landscape itself, like something out of a Bosch nightmare.

		Saving the Tower depends not only on rescuing Susannah but also on securing the vacant lot Calvin Tower owns before he loses it to the Sombra Corporation.
		For another, it is inhabited by the author of a novel called Salem's Lot, a writer who turns out to be as shocked by them as they are by him.

		Should the Dark Tower fall on Sept. 21, the publication date of "The Dark Tower VII: The Dark Tower," all the worlds and characters that the popular novelist has conceived will be reduced to infinite nothingness.
		Thirty-three years have passed since King wrote "The Dark Tower I: The Gunslinger" as a college student in 1970, and fans have since waited (oftentimes not too patiently) for the finale to be revealed.
		The novels deliver the tale of Roland Deschain, the last remaining gunslinger in a "world that has moved on," and his quest to reach and save the Dark Tower, which is the nexus holding together all time and space.

		THE DARK TOWER epic is so full of allegory and metaphor that it will undoubtedly be studied for years (it is in fact already being studied) as the cornerstone of King's work.

	The Dark Tower - The Gunslinger
		Though inspired by a wide range of literary antecedents and cultural archetypes, The Dark Tower saga was initially sparked by a course on the romantic poets at the University of Maine.
		King's object, dating back to his sophomore year in college, was to fashion a long novel that played on the conceits and constructs of the romantic aesthetic—to attempt a work that echoed the epic tone and atmospherics of Browning's poem, if not its explicit narrative line.
		Of the undertaking, King has reflected, "I have written enough novels and short stories to fill a solar system of the imagination, but Roland's story is my Jupiter—a planet that dwarfs all the others (at least from my own perspective), a place of strange atmosphere, crazy landscape, and savage gravitational pull.

		The tension in the Dark Tower series has built steadily from the beginning and, like in the best of King's novels, explodes into a violent, heart-tugging climax as Roland and his ka-tet finally near their goal.
		In all of Rolands dreams of the dark tower, and whenever anyone else has a vision/dream of him at it, he is always alone.
		When Roland enters the Tower at the end of this book, it is not the Tower as it is meant to be, it is not the `nexus' of all existence in the sense as we - or he - had envisioned it to be, knew it to be.

		Roland finally reaches The Dark Tower, but getting there is a wonder in itself, a bleak and often tragic tale with King pulling no punches as the small band of warriors find their destinies.
		And this is testament to the entire second half of the Dark Tower series - King kicks over the signposts he set to guide himself on the road to the tower so long ago, erects new ones, and then kicks those over again.

	The SF Site Featured Review: The Dark Tower: The Dark Tower
		Bracing his career like a metaphoric linchpin is The Dark Tower cycle, described by some as his "magnum opus," a capstone literary piece de resistance.
		The triumph of The Dark Tower is the way its narrative connects with the reader at a level that transcends the superficiality of intellectual pomp, the narrative flaccidity of loud apocalyptic battles, and the artificial grandness of god-like characters.
		The Dark Tower cycle is on the one hand a "single novel," to quote King's view on the matter, but it is also a sort of justification for everything else here referred to that King has written.

		Description: This series about the quest for The Dark Tower, a nexus of power over time and space, is generally regarded as the backbone of Stephen King's illustrious career.
		The next-to-last novel in Stephen King's seven-volume magnum opus, Song of Susannah is at once a book of revelation, a fascinating key to the unfolding mystery of the Dark Tower, and a fast-paced story of double-barreled suspense.
		The tale of Roland Deschain's relentless quest for the Dark Tower has, the author fears, sorely tried the patience of those who have followed it from its earliest chapters.

		In a move that can only continue to elevate the literary and commercial cachet of the graphic novel format, sources say that bestselling novelist Stephen King has agreed to write a new installment of his Dark Tower series as a graphic novel to be published in 2006.
		Sources say that the new Dark Tower installment will be published first as a comic book periodical beginning in April and later released as a Marvel hardcover in the fall of 2006.

		King's "The Dark Tower" is the culmination of a saga that spans 3,000 pages, seven primary volumes, at least 15 ancillary ones and more than three decades of effort on the part of its author.
		As King would be the first to admit, the overwhelming impression of the "Dark Tower" saga is that it was made up as it went along.
		Longtime fans are likely to feel a pang of genuine sadness in its final pages, not only for the characters and their diverse fates, but for the closing of a chapter in their own lives as readers.

		I bought the first volume of Stephen King's Dark Tower series, The Gunslinger, on a whim during my first trip back home from college--the paperback was cheap, the flight was long, and I was bored.
		The final battle at the foot of the Dark Tower is thrilling (though it ends on what is essentially a bad pun).
		If you cut all the stupid stuff out of the Dark Tower series, the remaining material would be much leaner (two books at most) but much better.
