Gwendy's Final Task Gwendy's Final Task

Publisher Description

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.

A conclusion befitting a genuinely original tale

The Gwendy Trilogy, from reading reviews, is somewhat divisive. Half love it, half hate it, few are indifferent. I am one of the former, and here’s why. Take a short story Stephen King started, Richard Chizmar championed, and a narrative that asks the reader to feel. That is the Gwendy Trilogy. From the beginning, I knew this wasn’t a fully fleshed King tale. And that’s absolutely okay. In fact, because of its origins and subsequent chronicles, it’s unique in its own right. The majority of reviews I’ve read are jaded remarks made with particular expectations. But please, Constant Reader, take this story as is, without assumption. Read as a lover of literature and narrative instead of an author’s devotee. You will find a lovely composition of thrills and emotion, but ultimately convalescing to an ending worthy of a good read. Highly recommend for the avid reader or the casual consumer.

PSA: Any political views assumed by other readers are just that: assumed. Art is interpreted by many in many different ways. The lead character as a senator is a literary device, not a political stance the author has taken. The reviews that include politics have lost the point of art itself and refuse to acknowledge that politics of a fictional character can be just that.

The best book I’ve read in years

I picked this up and finished it in one sitting. What a beautifully written story and I cried the entire last chapter, bravo to both of you.

Love It!

I enjoyed the trilogy very much. This last book ending was wonderful.
The trilogy is a wonderful step away from reality for a week. I definitely needed to step out for a little bit.
I want to thank the authors for this little break!
I appreciate the time I spent with Gwendy.
Love the connection to the Tower as well!
