Synopsis

The tie-in edition of the nine-part series starring Whoopi Goldberg, Alexander Skarsgard, and James Marsden, now in the UK from Starzplay.

First came the virus. And then the dreams...

A man escapes from a biological testing facility, unknowingly carrying a deadly weapon: a mutated strain of super-flu that will wipe out over 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 'dark man', the apostate of death, the warlord of the charnel house and Prince of Evil.

Now the survivors must choose between them - and ultimately decide the fate of all humanity.

Stephen King's apocalyptic vision of a world blasted by plague and tangled in an elemental struggle between good and evil is a classic for our times.

A long book, but worth the read
There are times where it does drag on a bit - it's sometimes almost too descriptive, but then come the parts where you simply can't put it down!

It's the end of the world as we know it
When I first picked this book up, I don't think I'd ever been more intimidated by the size of a novel. My version of the paperback had over 1,400 pages in ... READ MORE
