Stephen King - The Stand

Experience Stephen King's apocalyptic masterpiece, The Stand, a riveting and eerily plausible vision of a world decimated by a super-flu and locked in an elemental struggle between good and evil. This 1325-page paperback edition from Hodder & Stoughton brings back the chilling narrative of survival and choice.

A deadly, mutated strain of super-flu escapes a biological testing facility, wiping out over 99 percent of the world's population in weeks. The few survivors are left bewildered, needing leadership to decide the fate of humanity.

Two figures emerge to guide the remaining populace:

• Mother Abagail: The benevolent 108-year-old woman urging survivors to build a peaceful community in Boulder, Colorado.
• Randall Flagg: The 'dark man', the apostate of death, warlord, and Prince of Evil, who draws followers to his dark cause.

The survivors must ultimately choose between these two forces, determining the future of humankind.
