A rather unusual tale of Roland and his group. After defeating Blaine, the group arrive in Topeka, Kansas, after the plague if 'Captain Tripps' has wiped out the living. This Kansas is different to the one each of the group knows, but Mother Abagail and the Dark Man are still here.
Roland tells the group of his past, loosing the one he loved, and their unborn child. They continue walking from Kansas until they come upon a set of red slippers on the road to a crystal palace. It now appears as though the group has arrived in the land of Oz, and come face to face Randall Flagg and Blaine the monorail, but like all things in this land, things are not as they appear.

Dedication: This book is dedicated to Julie Eugley and Marsha DeFilippo. They answer the mail, and most of the mail for the last couple of years has been about Roland of Gilead, the gunslinger. Basically, Julie and Marsha nagged me back to the word processor. Julie, you nagged the most effectively, so your name comes first.
