Talisman 3

[ZGDK]

What do you guys think will happen in Talisman 3? Me I'm thinking that Jack will have to go on another quest to find someway to be able to enter our world again. I hope we get to see some of the Dark Tower characters too.

Honestly? I can't even finish The Talisman. I don't know why. I really don't. I love books like these, but its not.. GRABBING me. I'm sure once I run out of reads, I will be picking this up again. For the third time. :biggrin2:

I can guarentee you that you will LOVE The Talisman.

I noticed Talisman is a hard book to crack into but once you get threw the beginning and middle it really starts to get good. It was a hard book for me to crack. I think I also have to re read it but it does take awhile. Awesome book though. I think you will get a better understanding of it if you have read The Dark Tower.

Hi,

Personally, I hope Part 3 will see the convergence of The Territories/Mid-World and a meeting between Jack Sawyer and Roland.

Although that may just be wishful thinking on my part.

Long days and pleasant nights

I loved The Talisman, had more trouble with Black House. I think the only thing that got me through Black House was the Dark Tower connections. I hope that #3 is as good as #1. I do love Wolf, here and now.:bat:

It was mentioned in Black House that Jack can enter our world for short periods of time, so I expect that to happen.

Also, Mr. King mentioned that Jack had a role to play in Roland's quest for the Tower, so I think we'll see something familiar, something we've taken for granted, cast in a new light.

I also think that there will be more references to Mr. Straub's Blue Rose books and to Ghost Story.

[Prince of Darkness]

What if the Horn of Eld that Roland found himself with at the end of the Dark Tower cycle made his quest following that his last...

What if Talisman 3 concerned Jack Sawyer and Roland Deschain searching for the Dark Tower and actually finding out what was truly through that door? What Gan would never let Roland see until he learned what he needed to?

I hope Talisman 3 is the 8th book in the Dark Tower cycle, informally speaking.

[Vegetable in Glasses]

I wasn't even aware that there was a third Talisman book planned. I am drooling on the keyboard - hope it doesn't shock me:eek:

[Jack_Sawyer]

I read Black House and then The Talisman, the wrong order I know. I have never read any of the Dark Tower novels, but I shall now, knowing the connection now with The Territories.

[betsymae]

It might be too much to hope for to have Roland and Jack together. That is interesting and I will have to think about that. They certainly could pass by each other in their respective quests. I am hoping for a little more "Henry" in the third book. I need to check out more of Straub's books as well.

[Sandman]

yeah I would like to see Jack come into the Callas right after the fight or something like that. something that is SO ingrained into the Tower series that it is impossible not to see. or something like Jack getting to the Dixie Pix RIGHT after they kill Father Callahan and it was because of Jack that Jake was really able to get away

[PhillyBat]

Talisman #3? When? Where? Who? Hey, do you know what the title will be?

[Prince of Darkness]

You don't honestly think King and Straub put that last bit in Black House there by chance where they said that Jack might help with the Tower, and it was possibly too late in the series for them to give Jack Sawyer fans a great adventure with him.. so perhaps they were both hinting at T3 being the last book in the Dark Tower series, the 8th one -- maybe nearly like the 7th one just more climatic and featuring perhaps a few different things along Roland's quest that might have made his entrance to the Dark Tower room possible but might have complicated getting there in the first place. :smile2:

[Sandman]

ok gus I think I may have figured something out, either that or I am grasping at straws. I got this off of Wiki:

The Unfulfilled Prophecy
In Insomnia, it is clearly stated that Patrick would save two men shortly before his death, and that one of these men must not die in order to maintain cosmic balance. In the seventh Dark Tower novel, Roland visits our world where meets the "Calvins" (named after Calvin Tower, a bookkeeper who owned the vacant lot that had the Rose), a group of scholars who analyze the Dark Tower series and its related novels.

They tell Roland the plot of Insomnia, and speculate that Gan's song that King transcribes when writing his novels was possibly muddled and that Insomnia may not be all that accurate. While Patrick is very important to Roland's quest, he does not die saving two people.

in fact he does not die at all! I believe the second man he will save before he dies will be good ol Travelin Jack! they are BOTH in Midworld at the same time now (or atleast Rolands "when")

[JohnDalglish]

Hi,

BTW If anyone's interested there's A Social Group for the communal re-read of The Talisman/Black House - all welcome.

Long days and pleasant nights

Personally, I can't wait for the third installment of The Talisman. That book is one of my favourites; it was such an inspiration when I was younger.

Interesting theory, :biggrin2:.

[QueenB]

What? There's a Talisman 3?!! Or is this wishful thinking? :D

[Moderator]

The book has not been written yet, but Peter and Steve do have plans to write a third.

[belynne333]

OOOOOOOh, I really like where this is going.....

maybe if I close my eyes and wish real hard..... okay, that makes it hard to type :)!

Great detective work you guys!

[betsymae]

Interesting theory on Patrick. And, I am also anxiously awaiting a trip to the territories again!

[Firebird]

I finished The Talisman last week. I've read most of Black House a few years ago but don't remember it too well, I'm re-reading it right now. The Talisman rocks and I know Black House does too. I can't wait for the 3rd one!!!

[kyle blake]

When do they plan to start? Hopefully next, since SK just finished "Under the Dome".

[Moderator]

I don't know what Peter has on his "to do" list, but Steve has other things on his schedule even though the first draft of Under the Dome is finished so I don't see them getting together in 2009.

Hi,

(Sigh) I don't suppose you could be talked into repeating the pre-W&G nag (for which thankee big-big), Ms Mod?

P-l-e-a-s-e (he whined LOL).

Mind you, the prospect of Ghost Brothers of Darkland County reaching the stage is pretty good anyway.

Long days and pleasant nights

[Baz]

Im still readin Talisman. what would happen if Roland an Jack enter the tower together? some are above ka I think I remember. hmm

[Agincourt Concierge]

A third in the series??? Does life get any better than this?

[marew1]

I'm glad they are at least thinking of a third Talisman.

[JohnDalglish]

Hi,

In the Talisman/Black House social group I posted some pointless speculation about Talisman 3, but it inevitably contains DT spoilers.

Long days and pleasant nights

[Matthew.Degnan]

i've never really been a fan of The Talisman and Black House.

Matthew.

[karend3]

I didn't have any trouble getting into The Talisman, it grabbed me and I went with it. Jack Sawyer ROCKS!!!

[Jax]

The book has not been written yet, but Peter and Steve do have plans to write a third.

Woooohoooo! Thank you Ms. Mod. for clearing that up for me. I had heard yes they were, no they weren't, maybe they will. Yaaay! ;)

[myson45]

the talisman and black house was easy to read! i hope the 3rd will be good. when is it cmn?:eek2:

[All Hail The Crimson King]

The Unfulfilled Prophecy


Dark Tower spoiler -

The prophecy was fulfilled. The two men that Danville saved was himself and Roland.

Hi,

Well, maybe si, maybe no LOL

We had some exhaustive discussion on this in The Talisman/Black House Social Group and remained divided on the issue.

Long days and pleasant nights

[LadyLyn]

It's actually kind of odd to me that some have had trouble getting into these two books as they are among my all time favorites, but to each their own...I personally love the fact that Stephen and Peter have decided to continue the story! Can't wait!!!

[rok]

amyone know how close to if at all close steve is to writeing #3

[Moderator]

Peter and Steve are busy with their own projects at the moment so the third book has not yet been started and there's no date set for when they might begin.

Hi,

Welcome to the MB, and keep posting!

'A year or two' is the latest update.

Long days and pleasant nights

[michal]

I can't even imagine where the book will go on to. To me Black House was such a perfect ending to the tale, and I just hope the 3rd one won't spoil it for me.

[Ted Brautigan]

Do you know of any other books coming out after Under the Dome?

[teejay17]

Do you know of any other books coming out after Under the Dome?
I'm curious about that as well. I read that it'll be two years before King's schedule allows for work on the third instalment, so that means there must be other books coming down the line.

[SixPins]

I believe Ms. Mod mentioned another novel after UTD, but my memory can be a little spunky so don't start clearing the shelves just yet.

[TheHardcase]

I also think that there will be more references to Mr. Straub's Blue Rose books. . .

Now there was a book I simply could not finish. Don't know why, but I always died rounding the far turn and heading into the home stretch. Three times now.

[Doc Wilson]

I hope that its set in the Territories and doesn't get all multiverse/DT on us. I'm probably in the minority on that.

[teejay17]

Well, Black House is already pretty much grounded in the DT universe, so I think that it's inevitable that the 3rd instalment will be DT as well.
But you never know...

I'm with you on that thought. What a bang up story that would make!

[Ray89]

That would indeed be great :D
