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.
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).

“The
Man in Black fled across the desert and the Gunslinger followed.” This
is our introduction to Roland Deschain, the last Gunslinger, published
by Donald M. Grant in THE DARK TOWER: THE GUNSLINGER in 1982. Twenty
years later Stephen King revised and expanded this volume. In his own
words: “What I did want to do was to give newcomers to the tale of the
Tower (and old readers who want to refresh their memories) a clearer
start and a slightly easier entry into Roland’s world. I also wanted
them to have a volume that more effectively foreshadowed coming events.
This volume contains that expanded version as well as the novella THE
LITTLE SISTERS OF ELURIA which chronicles an earlier adventure of
Roland’s as he persued the Man in Black.

The Seventh Outlander novel from #1 National Bestselling author Diana Gabaldon.
Jamie Fraser, erstwhile Jacobite and reluctant rebel, knows three
things about the American rebellion: the Americans will win, unlikely as
that seems in 1778; being on the winning side is no guarantee of
survival; and he’d rather die than face his illegitimate son — a young
lieutenant in the British Army — across the barrel of a gun. Fraser’s
time-travelling wife, Claire, also knows a couple of things: that the
Americans will win, but that the ultimate price of victory is a mystery.
What she does believe is that the price won’t include Jamie’s life or
happiness — not if she has anything to say.
Claire’s grown daughter Brianna, and her husband, Roger, watch the
unfolding of Brianna’s parents’ history — a past that may be sneaking up
behind their own family.

The year is 1772, and on the eve of the American Revolution, the long
fuse of rebellion has already been lit. Men lie dead in the streets of
Boston, and in the backwoods of North Carolina, isolated cabins burn in
the forest.
With chaos brewing, the governor calls upon Jamie Fraser to unite the
backcountry and safeguard the colony for King and Crown. But from his
wife Jamie knows that three years hence the shot heard round the world
will be fired, and the result will be independence — with those loyal to
the King either dead or in exile. And there is also the matter of a
tiny clipping from The Wilmington Gazette, dated 1776, which reports
Jamie’s death, along with his kin. For once, he hopes, his
time-traveling family may be wrong about the future.

child. Her second journey, two decades later, brought them together
again in the American colonies. But Claire had left someone behind in
the twentieth century—their daughter, Brianna….
Now Brianna has made a disturbing discovery that sends her to the
circle of stones and a terrifying leap into the unknown. In search of
her mother and the father she has never met, she is risking her own
future to try to change history … and to save their lives. But as
Brianna plunges into an uncharted wilderness, a heartbreaking encounter
may strand her forever in the past … or root her in the place she should
be, where her heart and soul belong….
