I wanted to know this too!

"The Wastelands" and more specifically Lud is really where I started to get invested in the quest and thought I was developing an idea of what the whole series might end up being about. The German plane was what I thought would be a big leaping off point for where the story was heading.

I enjoyed the books for the most part, but I have to admit I was more than a little disappointed at the ultimate direction compared to what I thought King was preparing us for in "The Wastelands".
