At the end of the novel, the main character jump-starts (time-loops) back to the first event in the book (just like with Dark Tower). Coincidence? Heh, and apparently JJ Abrams and Lindelof are about <a href="http://media.www.lsureveille.com/media/storage/paper868/news/2007/03/22/Entertainment/lost-Creator.Tackles.dark.Tower-2786294.shtml" rel="nofollow">to produce</a> the “Dark Tower”, licensed recently off Stephen King.
