I know it might not "star" any of the usual characters, but Michael Whelan just did about 25 chartacter paintings for the Discordia project. They are awesome! He did ALL the major players in the DT series, so I wonder if Michael might be asked to illustrate the new book. One can hope!
Dragline : Nothin'. A handful of nothin'. You stupid mullet head. He beat you with nothin'. Just like today when he kept comin' back at me - with nothin'.
Luke : Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
It would certainly be lovely if he were!
Matt--you are SO right about that! UTD is a comfortable read so far. You love characters and you love to hate characters. Perfect!
Had you not said this, I would have. I would love a story that filled that lengthy gap.
All in all, another story, tucked deep within Roland's past doesn't excite me as much as something involving our loved tet. But, I'll get it. I'll read it. I'll keep it.

If the novel were as good as LSOE, I'd be quite excited about another story tucked deep within Roland's past.
yeah, no contract
Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think.
Life is a garden...dig it!
My 2 cents? Wootness, I am ready for any King , anytime, especially DT related.
The answer is within
all matter is energy, all energy is GOD
I greeted the news with caution. Whilst i enjoyed the DT series as a whole, I loved and adored and drowned myself in the first three books. After that, somehow, it didn't quite grip in the same way. King was still a raw talent when he wrote the Gunslinger and I, for one, thought the rewrite kinda diluted that rawness. Of the later books, Song of Suz was the one that, IMO, recaptured that rawness. The promise of more stories immediately makes me wonder which author will write them - the King of raw, hurtling story or the King of literary correctness.
I DO console myself with the afterthought that a new book will be written by KING...so the dialogue will be leaps and bounds above that to be found in the graphic novels, which is, frankly, drivel.

The story of the ruined city where Gasher & TickTock & Blane (Blain?) lived would please me!
I wanted to see more of the ticktock man...
if the worlds gonna end then let's get it over with, i got shit to do
King's voice left something to be desired, but when he read something he himslef had written, I felt confident there was nothing lost in the "translation".
Gotta hear'em then! Which years are the audiobooks he read?

Excellent. I didn't like SoS at all and TDT was just ok, but I wouldn't mind seeing another book expanding upon the series. I haven't read any of the series since TDT was published, so it will be a good excuse for a reread.
I'm actually hoping he'll eventually tell the story of the old guys corp. (Tet?) that he hints at in TDT.
