In this, the fifth volume in King's Dark Tower series, Roland and company find themselves involved in some odd goings-on in and around the town of Call Bryn Sturgis. Tracing a 20-year sacrifice cycle in the town, they uncover a connection to the Dark Tower that is less than savory.
After enjoying the remarkable range of voices that Frank Muller brought to the recordings of the first 4, very long, books in this 7-book series, the reading of Book number 5 by George Guidall is flat, lifeless and uninteresting. Listening to a Very long story read by someone who can barely differentiate one character's voice from another is tedious and serveral times I've realized that I haven't been listening and then have to repeat the last track or two, Very sad. Unfortunately, I see that Guidall also reads Books 6 and 7, so I'll probably not bother to find out if they reach the Dark Tower and save the world.
