The Dark Tower I: The Gunslinger

In "The Gunslinger", Stephen King introduces readers to his most enigmatic heroes, Roland of Giliead, 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.
