A single mistake unleashes the end of the world.
When a patient escapes a secret military lab, a weaponized flu spreads across the globe, erasing nearly all of humanity in weeks. The survivors awaken in a silent, ruined America where every breath feels borrowed and every choice matters.
Two figures rise from the ashes. One is Mother Abagail, a woman of faith who calls the lost to rebuild hope in Boulder, Colorado. The other is Randall Flagg, the dark man who thrives on fear and destruction. Between them stands the final battle for the soul of humankind.
With more than 55,000 Amazon ratings and over 800,000 on Goodreads, The Stand remains Stephen King’s towering vision of apocalypse, morality, and the thin line between salvation and ruin.
