Long days, pleasant nights, and welcome to a very special emergency episode of Kingslingers.

We had to call an emergency palaver mat because there is news in the world of the tower.

Have you heard the news? Do you know the news?

I've heard a little bit of the news, but hit me, hit me, hit me.

The news is that we officially have a title and a release date for the third of the

Talisman novels. This is a book that we knew Stephen King was working on. We knew he was working

on Talisman 3 after Peter Straub died. I think King felt drawn back to this world and he wanted

to finish the trilogy that he started with his good friend all those years ago. But we didn't know what was going to come out. We didn't know a title.

We didn't know anything about it. And then suddenly this weekend, randomly, it just appeared on

Amazon. Stephen King has not announced this. Scribner has not announced this. It's just on

Amazon. In fact, when you look at the Amazon thing and it says,

follow the author. The author still says, to be confirmed. So, fantastic. That's weird. That's weird.

Perfect. But I thought we'd at least talk about it real quick here for just a few minutes.

So here's what we know. Here's what we know everyone.

We know the book is titled, at least for now, it could change, is titled Other Worlds Than These.

We know what comes out on October 6th of this year. And we know a little bit, a little bit about the plot.

Can I read this to you, Matt? Please do. Other worlds than these is the story of Jack Sawyer, whom readers first met when he was 12, crossing America and the territories to save his mother's life, and met again in Black House, where Jack faces a child killer and the Crimson King, among other evils. In other worlds than these,

Jack must stop a rampaging gang

of infected teenagers from America side,

and the forces of the mysterious gullet

at the edge of midworld,

before it destroys our world and are all worlds.
