《枪侠》是“黑暗塔”的首曲，奠定了整套书的基调。里面可以读到少年罗兰如何成为枪侠，神秘的黑衣人也首次登场。
来自“中世界”的最后一位“枪侠” 罗兰穿越荒野追踪他的死敌——黑衣人，途中他结识了一位美丽的女士爱丽丝和来自人间的小男孩杰克。最终罗兰同黑衣人狭路相逢，并抽取了预示了他未来命运的七张塔罗牌。很快他就要面临一个痛苦的抉择：他应该抓住黑衣人以取得关于“黑暗塔”的情报，还是挽救小男孩杰克的生命……
这个故事从一开始就深深吸引我，让我到目前为止的大半生都深陷其中，无法自拔！
In the first book of this brilliant series, Stephen King introduces readers to one of his most enigmatic heroes, Roland of Gilead, The Last Gunslinger. He is a haunting figure, a loner on a spellbinding journey into good and evil. In his desolate world, which frighteningly mirrors our own, Roland pursues The Man in Black, encounters an alluring woman named Alice, and begins a friendship with the Kid from Earth called Jake. Both grippingly realistic and eerily dreamlike, The Gunslinger leaves readers eagerly awaiting the next chapter.
