Summary

The Dark Tower beckons Roland, the gunslinger...

And in a terrifying journey Roland determines to reach his destiny with the companions he has gathered along the road; wheelchair-bound Susannah Holmes, narcotic prisoner Eddie Dean, a boy named Jake and his pet creature Oy, are all willing participants in the harrowing quest.

Through the scarred, devasted urban wasteland to the Mid-World where cavernous black holes threaten the structure of the tower, time grows thin and the past becomes a riddle. On and on, the malevolent monorail hurtles, threatening destruction as the pilgrims desperately bargain for survival.

Hidden dangers lie at every junction of their destined path: from the terror of Roland's relentless, cunning enemy to the temptation of the wizard's glass, a powerful force in Roland's first love affair.

Still the tower awaits.

The master of horror and suspense draws on the unique genius to create the powerful world of the Dark Tower. Wizard and Glass is a compelling, poignant and terrifying tale which is both a stand-alone novel and the eagerly anticipated fourth volume in the bestselling The Dark Tower series.

Hi guys,
So I just got started on this today. For anyone who maybe hasn't read the rest of the series but feels like jumping in, the first section of the book, Argument, is in fact a nice little summary of the tale so far.
That said, I still think you might be a little lost if you just dive right in.
