''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 to King''s 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 Mid-World, 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, and features 30 exclusive black and white illustrations by artist Gabriel Rodriguez.
