"Wizard and Glass" by Stephen King

The Dark Tower beckons Roland, the Last Gunslinger, and the four companions he has gathered along the road. In the terrifying journey where hidden dangers lie at every junction - a malevolant runaway train, Roland's staunch enemy and the temptation of the wizard's diabolical glass ball - they narrowly escape one world to slip into the next.
