Breakers in The Dark Tower Series
In the Dark Tower series, breakers are abducted or recruited from various "wheres and whens" to a facility in Thunderclap, where there is a room that amplifies their powers and turns them into a corrosive and damaging force against the Beams for the benefit of the Crimson King. This facility, Algul Siento, is sacked by Roland Deschain and his ka-tet with help from rebel breakers Sheemie Ruiz, Dinky Earnshaw, and Ted Brautigan (a pivotal character from the first novella in Hearts in Atlantis). Breakers are also mentioned in other King works such as Black House.
