King to write new Dark Tower novel(!) POTENTIAL SPOILERS
According to Lilja:
King stated he will write another Dark Tower novel. It will center around supporting characters and revolve around some important events between Wizard and Glass and Wolves of the Calla. One fan asked him to make sure Oy comes back, and King said not to worry, that Oy would return.

It's not exactly news, but it's nice to have confirmation to that story from March from the man himself.
I don't think King actually meant that Oy will be back. It was more of a joke, it seemed like to me. He said the new DT novel wouldn't center around the main characters.
Oh my god this is pretty exciting. I didnt know this and hadn't dared to hope he would do another!!
To refresh your memories (and this story slipped unnoticed for about half a year actually), here's what King told USA Today in March 2009:
http://blogs.usaweekend.com/whos_new...n-king-no.htmlWhen we were chatting about his upcoming book Under the Dome, a novel with political subtext out in November, King said he had recently had an idea for a short story. “And then I thought, ‘Well, why don’t I find three more like this and do a book that would be almost like modern fairy tales?’ Then this thing started to add on bits and pieces so I guess it will be a novel.” That idea, according to King, is for a new Dark Tower novel, a continuation of his epic seven-part fantasy/sci-fi/Western series about a lone gunslinger named Roland and his ongoing hunt for the Man in Black. “It’s not really done yet,” King admits of his magnum opus. “Those seven books are really sections of one long uber-novel.”
Looking forward to this with much anticipation
so this is gonna be the dark tower equivalent of Star wars: the clone wars
?
sounds fine by me!
if the worlds gonna end then let's get it over with, i got shit to do

That article doesn't have a link to "read more"....
And it doesn't specifically say that it's set between Volumes IV and V--where did that information come from?
I think that he mentioned that last night at the signing in NY.That article doesn't have a link to "read more"....

Because you're already reading more, I think.That article doesn't have a link to "read more"....
Yuppers. The time frame of the story - it's mentioned in the UTD thread. I believe David posted.
Now... here's a question - will Sai King follow the canon that's been set-up and established in the DT comics!!??!!
The Man In Black Fled Across The Desert...
...And The Gunslinger Followed.

Remember, Remember, The Fifth of November, The Gunpowder, Treason, and Plot.
ohhh I hope not

Well... according to Furth, the comics and their direction are approved by Sai King... so I'd hope he at leasts considers that !?!

Back when we came up with the "Ka is a Wheel" Dark Tower awareness campaign, I asked Marsha if we could release an official announcement this month. - Remember the November 2009 banner that was up last month. She said that she had not heard anything about the manuscript in a long time, so we just moved on with Discordia.
As it turns out Ka *IS* a Wheel. So anyway, if you remember the banner. It was not just about Discordia.
You could have....if you did it sooner.
J/k
I'm assuming that you are sort of confirming this then?
Due to the setting, (within the time frame of the books) I doubt the comics description of events will crop up much.It will be interesting to see if he makes any reference to those events though...
Considering it's based around supporting characters, I wonder who they'll be? More about Callahan and/or Toren? (But the Faddah was quite a primary character in the end. And chronologically his stuff was over with quite a while before the present day stuff of Wizard and Glass. Still time is weird in that world...
Oh and it IS news to me! I read that there would be another Dark Tower book a while ago, but none of these specifics!
maybe a book about walter's mechanations!
if the worlds gonna end then let's get it over with, i got shit to do
I'm thinking along those lines too.

Wouldn't be surprised, given the general time-frame, if Parkus, Sawyer and /or Tyler Marshall got in there somewhere. Maybe just wishful thinking though.
28 in 23 (?)!!!!

Hopefully King reveals that the Walter that met up with Mordred was a FlaggBot, and after Roland went through the Tower and the Crimson King was defeated, the real Walter snuck in and took over.maybe a book about walter's mechanations!

I think there's an error, it would take place between Wizard and Glass and Little Sisters Of Eluria.
I thought they probably meant the present day stuff of Wizard and Glass. Besides, although most of it is set in the past,Spoiler:

Biggest news is that King stated that he has another DT story in him to tell...Roland's adventures after Wizard and Glass until LSOE. No dates or anything given, but sounds like he will write a novel about the fall of Gilead, battle of Jerricho Hill, and Roland's start on the quest for the Dark Tower.
I think it would have much more sense than new book that throws us in the middle of events from 5th book of saga.
