On his quest, Roland begins a friendship with a kid from New York named Jake, encounters an alluring woman and faces an agonising choice between damnation and salvation as he pursues the Man in Black.

    This a pivotal instalment in the epic saga provides the key to the quest that defines Roland's life. In the next part of their journey to the tower, Roland and his band of followers face adversity from every side: Susannah Dean has been taken over by a demon-mother and uses the power of Black Thirteen to get from the Mid-World New York City. But who is the father of her child? And what role will the Crimson King play? Roland sends Jake to break Susannah's date with destiny, while he himself uses 'the persistence of magic' to get to Maine in the Summer of 1977. It is a terrible world: for one thing it is real and bullets are flying. For another, it is inhabited by the author of a novel called 'SALEM'S LOT. SONG OF SUSANNAH is driven by revelation and by suspense. It continues THE DARK TOWER series seamlessly from WOLVES OF THE CALLA and the dramatic climax will leave readers desperate to read the quest's conclusion.

    Les retrouvailles du ka-ten de Dix-Neuf auront été de courte durée, car les pistoleros doivent à nouveau se séparer pour accomplir les deux tâches dont dépend le sort de la Tour Sombre : mettre fin à l'ignoble labeur des Briseurs détruisant les Rayons, et sauver l'écrivain Stephen King d'une mort programmée qui les condamnerait inéluctablement. Et ce n'est là qu'un prélude à l'affrontement avec Mordred - monstre hybride enfanté par Mia/Susannah -, le dernier héritier de la lignée d'Eld mais aussi du Roi Cramoisi, lequel n'a pas dit son dernier mot. Pour Roland de Gilead, la Tour est à ce prix... un prix qu'il devra payer de tout son être, pour la survie de tous les mondes.
