Wizard and Glass Book Club #36 (Pt3, Ch10 Sc15-22)

📖 Section Covered: Part 3, Chapter 10 Subchapters 15-22

 

📢 Episode Summary:

 

In the latest Book Club for Wizard and Glass Tadd and Peter continue into the final chapter of Part 3 and in this episode the boys take out the tankers and ambush Latigo and his men in the desert but rather than taking some shots at Latigo himself they bait him and his men towards Eyebolt Canyon. Latigo has to wake  up some of his men mesmerized by the columns of fire from the tankers that are now going off in a chain reaction; he and Hendricks muster the men to give chase to the boys. Latigo and company muster 80 people and ride hard after the boys heading into the canyon. The boys let their horses go and set fire to the gunpowder then go into the canyon. The Thinny almost takes Cuthbert and Alain but Roland wakes them up and they climb the notch in the canyon wall. Latigo and his men charge into the canyon unaware of the fire starting that will box them in and they drive right into the thinny and are torn apart by the thinny. Roland watches this from above and has a horrible realization, the thinny may have showed him the distant world’s to hide a much closer danger, and he hears the words of Rhea and knows Susan is in grave danger.
