Summary:
Stephen King The Dark Tower VI: Song of Susannah with 10 full-color
illustrations by Darrel Anderson The next-to-last novel in Stephen
King's seven-volume magnum opus, Song of Susannah is at once a book
of revelation, a fascinating key to the unfolding mystery of the Dark
Tower, and a fast-paced story of double-barreled suspense. To give
birth to her "chap," demon-mother Mia has usurped the body of
Susannah Dean and used the power of Black Thirteen to transport to
New York City in the summer of 1999. The city is strange to
Susannah...and terrifying to the "daughter of none," who shares her
body and mind. Saving the Tower depends not only on rescuing Susannah
but also on securing the vacant lot Calvin Tower owns before he loses
it to the Sombra Corporation. Enlisting the aid of Manni senders, the
remaining katet climbs to the Doorway Cave...and discovers that magic
has its own mind. It falls to the boy, the billy-bumbler, and the
fallen priest to find Susannah-Mia, who, in a struggle to cope --
with each other and with an alien environment -- "go todash" to
Castle Discordia on the border of End-World. In that forsaken place,
Mia reveals her origins, her purpose, and her fierce desire to mother
whatever creature the two of them have carried to term. Eddie and
Roland, meanwhile, tumble into western Maine in the summer of 1977, a
world that should be idyllic but isn't. For one thing, it is real,
and the bullets are flying. For another, it is inhabited by the
author of a novel called 'Salem's Lot, a writer who turns out to be
as shocked by them as they are by him. These are the simple vectors
of a story rich in complexity and conflict. Its dual climaxes, one at
the entrance to a deadly dining establishment and the other appended
to the pages of a writer's journal, will leave readers gasping for
the saga's final volume (which, Dear Reader, follows soon, say thank
ya).
