the long run of things.The Dark Tower SagaSo far the Dark Tower series is composed of 4 books. Every one of them feature Roland, a gunslinger, as the main character. Roland is a strong man with a very strong sense of nobility. His one flaw is that he will do anything to get to his bane, The Dark Tower. The Dark Tower is a nexus that connects all worlds and times. You can reach the Tower along one of the Path of Beams, each guarded by one of the thirteen great guardians. On Roland’s quest he is faced with many tough choices. Every time he chooses the Tower. When given the choice of saving his symbolic son, Jake Chambers, or continuing on to find The Man in Black and his Tower, he chooses the latter.The Saga is far to deep and long for me to go into. But currently after confronting Randall Flagg, the “bad guy”, Roland, Eddie, Susie, and Jake (He was resurrected, but not in the way you think) along with Jake’s Billy Bumbler Oy continue along the path of beam in search of the Dark Tower.The StandThe Stand is your classic good vs. evil book. After the World is devastated by the Superflu (a military born virus) only a handful of people are left to defend the world against the likes of Randy Flagg (Yes the same man from the Dark Tower). The forces of good are led by Stu Redman, Larry Underwood, Glen Bateman, Nick Andros, Ralph Bretner, Fran Goldsmith, and of course Mother Abagail. The forces of evil are led by “The Tall Man”, “The Ageless Stranger”, Randall Flagg. It should be noted that Flagg is not human…He is in fact a demon who haunts all worlds and has played key roles in many Stephen King novels. On the side of evil are Lloyd Henreid, Nadine Cross, The Trashcan Man, and the entire city of Las Vegas.In the end 4 men: Stu, Larry, Ralph, and Glen preveil…but at a cost. I won’t ruin the ending, in the event that you’ve never read the book....
