About this listen

Stephen King's epic fantasy series, The Dark Tower, is being made into a major movie starring Idris Elba and Matthew McConaughey. Due in cinemas February 17, 2017 USA.

In this first novel in his epic fantasy masterpiece, Stephen King introduces listeners to one of his most enigmatic heroes, Roland of Gilead, the Last Gunslinger. He is a haunting figure, a loner, on a spellbinding journey into good and evil, in a desolate world which frighteningly echoes our own.

In his first step towards the powerful and mysterious Dark Tower, Roland encounters an alluring woman named Alice, begins a friendship with Jake, a kid from New York, and faces an agonising choice between damnation and salvation as he pursues the Man in Black.

Both grippingly realistic and eerily dreamlike, The Gunslinger leaves listeners eagerly awaiting the next chapter.

And the Tower is closer....

The Darktower Series is epic. I was concerned that after reading and rereading this series at least a dozen times over the past 30 years, that listening to them read by another voice may feel strange or disappoint. But no. George Guidall presents Roland to the audience in a manner which will captivate. Brilliant narration of a very important opening book. In my opinion, the Dark Tower series is one of the best series of stories ever written. Thank you for bringing the Ka Tet to your audience, thank you for Roland and all he represents. Stephen King you are the King of story telling. You have remembered the face of your Father. Thankee Sai. ❤️

The introduction to Roland’s quest is beautifully bought to life.
