Summary

This week on Post-Apocalyptia: We return to Mid-World, with the third book in Stephen King's The Dark Tower series, The Waste Lands! We'll meet up with Roland the last gunslinger and his ka-tet as they find the path of the Beam, and make their way to the crumbling city of Lud. We'll learn the layout of the world, and more clues about the apocalypse that created it--and we'll end with a showdown with an insane supercomputer. This and more, in The Dark Tower III: The Waste Lands! Join us there, at the end of the world. The Dark Tower III: The Waste Lands is currently in print, and may be purchased in print, ebook, and audiobook formats from most booksellers.
