Gwendy's Final Task

fullDescription

The final book in the New York Times bestselling Gwendy's Button Box trilogy from Stephen King and Richard Chizmar.
When Gwendy Peterson was twelve, a mysterious stranger named Richard Farris gave her a mysterious box for safekeeping. It offered treats and vintage coins, but it was dangerous. Pushing any of its eight colored buttons promised death and destruction. Years later, the button box reentered Gwendy's life. A successful novelist and a rising political star, she was once again forced to deal with the temptation the box represented. Now, malignant forces seek to possess the button box, and it is up to Senator Gwendy Peterson to keep it from them at all costs. But where can one hide something from such powerful entities?

In Gwendy's Final Task, master storytellers Stephen King and Richard Chizmar take us on a journey from Castle Rock to another famous cursed Maine city to the MF-1 space station, where Gwendy must execute a secret mission to save the world. And, maybe, all worlds.

   • content: Marin Ireland's nimble narration enriches this final book in King and Chizmar's Button Box Trilogy. Since she was a 12-year-old girl living in Castle Rock, Maine, Gwendy Peterson has been the on-and-off guardian of the button box, a mysterious and sinister box with the power to grant marvelous wishes and destroy entire worlds. Ireland sensitively communicates Gwendy's dismay when, at 64 years old, she finds that the button box has been returned to her once again. This time, instead of serving as its guardian, she must overcome formidable obstacles in order to destroy the box and keep it from evildoers. Ireland's characterizations take this audio to the next level, imbuing each character with personality and depth. Listeners will be captivated by this intriguing end to a popular series.

     Chizmar (Gwendy's Magic Feather) and King reunite to close out the "Button Box" trilogy in epic fashion. Gwendy Peterson has been a bestselling novelist, a U.S. senator, and a keeper of the button box, an innocent-looking device with the power to grant wishes and destroy universes. As its most morally steadfast guardian, Gwendy is given the unenviable task to make sure the box can never fall into evil hands. She takes a manned space flight where she can permanently dispose of the box, but those who want to use its destructive power will not give up so easily. VERDICT The final part of this trilogy wraps up the intriguing character arc of Gwendy, a character brought to life by Chizmar's and King's words, as well as the voice talents of Marin Ireland. Fans of King's "Dark Tower" series will recognize the occasional nods to the mythos, but readers who have never read the books will still be drawn into this story, where the tension comes from Gwendy trying to stay ahead of those after the box and her own deteriorating condition.--James Gardner
