The Brilliant Dark Tower

Fount Paperbacks has issued a “Special Centenary Edition” of The Dark Tower with a beautiful blue cover and shiny silver trim. Price 6.99 in England, $16 in Canada. The cover promises “the power and vision of this greatest of story tellers.” It quotes the Church Times: “The Dark Tower, I believe, is as good as anything he wrote.” Finally, it claims “The Dark Tower itself is a draft of a possible fourth volume to follow Lewis’s acclaimed adult science fiction trilogy. Two characters – Ransom and Macphee – appear again, and the story contains sequences of brilliant debate about matter in time and space.”
