After narrowly escaping the city, Roland tells his companions the story of his youth, specifically his first love, Susan Delgado. Along the way, they come across a ruined city called Lud, where they confront a dangerous gang known as the Grays. We continue our quest to reach the Dark Tower, a mythical structure that stands at the center of all existence. While following the deserted I-70 toward a distant glass palace, Roland recounts his tragic story about a seaside town called Hambry, where he fell in love with a girl named Susan Delgado, and where he and his old tet-mates Alain and Cuthbert battled the forces of John Farson, the harrier who-with a little help from a seeing sphere called Maerlyn’s Grapefruit-ignited Mid-World’s final war. In Wizard and Glass, Stephen King is “at his most ebullient…sweeping readers up in…swells of passion” ( Publishers Weekly) as Roland the Gunslinger, Eddie, Susannah, and Jake survive Blaine the Mono’s final crash, only to find themselves stranded in an alternate version of Topeka, Kansas, that has been ravaged by the superflu virus. ![]()
