From The Flap:
"YES," Blaine said at last. "I AGREE IF I SOLVE ALL THE RIDDLES
YOU ASK ME, I WILL TAKE YOU WITH ME TO THE PLACE WHERE THE PATH
ENDS IN THE CLEARING. IF ONE OF YOU TELLS A RIDDLE I CANNOT
SOLVE, I WILL SPARE YOUR LIVES AND LEAVE YOU IN TOPEKA, FROM
WHENCE YOU MAY CONTINUE YOUR QUEST FOR THE DARK TOWER, IF YOU SO
CHOOSE. HAVE I UNDERSTOOD THE TERMS AND LIMITS OF YOUR PROPOSAL
CORRECTLY, ROLAND SON OF STEVEN?" "Yes." There was a moment of
silence, broken only by the hard steady throb of the slo-trans
turbines bearing them on across the waste lands, bearing them
along the Path of the Beam toward Topeka, where Mid-World ended
and End World began. "SO," cried the voice of Blaine. "CAST YOUR
NETS, WANDERERS! TRY ME WITH YOUR QUESTIONS, AND LET THE CONTEST
BEGIN."
Synopsis:
Part IV of an epic quest. Roland the Gunslinger and his
followers have to contend with a sentient monorail intent on
killing itself and taking them with it. While seeking to return
to the Path of the Beam that will lead them to the Dark Tower,
Roland tells his friends a story about the tragic loss of his
first love, Susan Delgado.
