If you’ve enjoyed the previous four audiobooks in the series then you will not be disappointed with number five, Wolves of the Calla Audiobook Free. As was the case with Wizard and Glass, it is almost a self-contained story, complete with a whole new set of new and memorable characters. In short, the narrative covers the planning and defense of the “Calla” from the wolves but there are also so many sub-plots that have great importance in the Dark Tower quest as a whole.

Roland and his band of followers have narrowly escaped one world and slipped into the next. There Roland tells them a tale of long-ago love and adventure involving a beautiful and quixotic woman named Susan Delgado. And there they will be drawn into an ancient mystery of spellbinding magic and supreme menace…

The wolves of Thunderclap and their unspeakable depredation are coming. To resist them is to risk all, but these are odds the gunslingers are used to. Their guns, however, will not be enough….

Set in a world of extraordinary circumstances, filled with stunning visual imagery and unforgettable characters, the Dark Tower series is unlike anything you have ever read. Here is the fifth installment.

Audiobook Review

Written By: Stephen King
Narrated By: George Guidall
Publisher: Simon & Schuster
Date: November 2003
Duration: 25 hours 58 minutes
Genres: Fiction > Classic Fiction

The story in Stephen King – Wolves of the Calla Audiobook was just about as great as The Waste Lands. So, I put this tied with The Drawing of the Three as my second favorite installment. Things were kind of mysterious in some parts, such as who was the snitch, and who or what were the wolves.

The end with the ‘Salem’s Lot mention was also pretty brilliant. Father Callahan’s part in the quest for the Dark Tower, the voices at the bottom of the cave, and just all of the connections to the number 19, Calvin Tower, the bookstore, etc….just brilliant.

King has such a creative mind, and I think this book completely made up for Wizard and Glass for me. Thanks King for delivering a solid audiobook again.
