    Default Finishing Tommy Knockers, what's next?

    Hello, I am just about finished with Tommy Knockers, great book!!! I am looking for similar stories by Mr King, that involve a mix of technology, aliens, science, and the supernatural. Are there stories out there that mixes in some of these elements. I know most of his books involve this stuff, but was fascinated with how everybody built contraptions, like Anderson's furnace, or the hologram clock tower. I guess average people becoming genius's overnight, kind of stuff.

    I just picked up Desperation, and plan to read this next, unless....

    I have read so far.

    The Dark Tower series
    Dead Zone
    Tommy Knockers
    On Writing

    (So I am new to his books, but man, theyare great. I noticed a connection in Tommy Knockers to the Dead Zone. I thought that was cool!)

    Please help.

    The mix you're wanting would be well served by reading Under The Dome...

    Hi,

    There's nothing that precisely fits your requirements but you could try Dreamcatcher or Under the Dome.

    But I really would recommend The Stand or perhaps IT next.

    Long days and pleasant nights

    The Stand and It, like John said, will be great. IMO, they are his best works. You are lucky in one respect. Since you just finished Tommyknockers, everything else will be an improvement!

    Just finished the book, fantastic! I was hoping that Gard ol Gard would fly the ship into the sun at the end, for revenge. Oh well. I loved it. Don't want to give anything away, but it was a hard book to put down.

    Hi, definitely UTD. There is a definite likeness to Tommyknockers, an exciting likeness when you read both books. I have just found a chapter in Tommyknockers that reminded me of Under The Dome; It was great when I read this part. Tommyknockers and UTD, definitely great reads!
