Stephen King�s apocalyptic vision of a world blasted by plague and tangled in an elemental struggle between good and evil remains as riveting and eerily plausible as when it was first published. A patient escapes from a biological testing facility, unknowingly carrying a deadly weapon: a mutated strain of super-flu that will wipe out 99 percent of the world�s population within a few weeks. Those who remain are scared, bewildered, and in need of a leader. Two emerge�Mother Abagail, the benevolent 108-year-old woman who urges them to build a peaceful community in Boulder, Colorado; and Randall Flagg, the nefarious �Dark Man,� who delights in chaos and violence. As the dark man and the peaceful woman gather power, the survivors will have to choose between them�and ultimately decide the fate of all humanity.
