New 2012 Cover!

OVERVIEW: Stephen Kingï¾’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ﾒs population within a few weeks. Those who remain are scared, bewildered, and in need of a leader. Two emergeﾗMother Abagail, the benevolent 108-year-old woman who urges them to build a peaceful community in Boulder, Colorado; and Randall Flagg, the nefarious ﾓDark Man,ﾔ who delights in chaos and violence. As the dark man and the peaceful woman gather power, the survivors will have to choose between themﾗand ultimately decide the fate of all humanity.
