What to expect
It is the story of Jack Sawyer who first travelled between America and the Territories to save his mother's life as a twelve-year-old boy. Many years later, as a retired policeman, he returns to face a serial killer.
Now, he must undertake a dangerous journey, to stop both a rampaging gang of infected teenagers from America-side and the forces of the mysterious Gullet at the edge of Mid-World before they destroy our world and all worlds.
But Jack is older, his band of pilgrims, his ka-tet, is fraying and his task is nearly impossible.
OTHER WORLDS THAN THESE is magnificent, riveting and full of heart. It is both a stand-alone novel and the unforgettable finale to The Talisman Trilogy, which includes The Talisman and Black House, as well as a wrapping-up of the fate of the worlds in King's iconic, beloved Dark Tower epic.
Features 38 exclusive black-and-white illustrations by artist Gabriel Rodrigues.
