I will be honest, I gave up on this book halfway through after having read it for two weeks. I just could not get into it and really just did not care to. This book felt to me like Kings commentary and views on the governments nuclear facilities, conspiracy in regards to aliens, and overall secrecy. While I don't disagree with the views, I don't want to read about it or have it take up the majority of the book. So the lesson I learned from the Talisman is to stop reading when I am no longer being entertained. What I do remember from this book the last time I read it is that Pennywise makes an appearance, which was an interesting little mind bender.
Essentially this book is about a woman her friend (who are both writers - surprise, surprise) that discover an alien ship buried in the ground. This ship starts exerting power over her and all the people in the town of Haven. Gard (the friend who shows up after the discovery and some of the really weird shit she does as a result) is immune because of a steel plate in his head.
Things go from bad to worse for everyone as people start being controlled and doing terrible, unexplainable things. The end result is that the majority of the town dies, but Gard is able to save the rest of the population and free them from the aliens (Tommyknockers).
At this point to me this book is a throw away along with the Talisman.
