Black House/Jack Sawyer/The Tower

Post by **A Gunslinger** » Sun May 23, 2004 9:18 pm

Any speulation on how King may weave Jack into the last couple of books or the Tower myth in geneneral as is discussed near the endo of Black house?

I think Jack is a natural Gunslinger myself, and should somehow aid the KA-tet directly.

I have no idea. In fact, there are now so many sub-plots and characters from other books, that I'm having trouble imagining how King can cram it all in with just two more novels.

But if anybody can pull off this magician's trick, it's King.

I was just saying that very thing to my wife! Jack is a great character. I hope we see him again.

Oh I'm always confused. Even the most basic thing confuses me. And I am merely more confused because I have no idea what your talking about.

Jack Sawyer is the protagonist of The Talisman and Black House, collaborations of King and Straub. Jack finds himself (occasionally) in a version of the Dark Tower world called The Territories.

It seems he will appear at some point in Roland's tale, either in Song of Susannah or Dark Tower VII. A large role, a small role, a pivotal role, an adversary role, who knows?

The main problem is that there are rumors that a third collaboration between King and Straub is planned - so that would make me inclinded to think that Jack certainly won't die in the Dark Tower story.

I believe we will see Jack in the last two Tower books somewhere. I don't think King would have spent all that time setting him up in Black House if he wasn't going to be part of the continuing story. But, just where...and doing what...is anyone's guess.
