Two Towers: The Lord of the Rings: Part Two

The middle novel in The Lord of the Rings—the greatest fantasy epic of all time—which began in The Fellowship of the Ring, and which reaches its magnificent climax in The Return of the King

Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read The Fellowship is scattered

Some brace hopelessly for war against the ancient evil of Sauron

Others must contend with the treachery of the wizard Saruman

Their guide is Gollum, deceitful and obsessive slave to the corruption of the Ring.
