The next call you take could be your last in this terrifying #1 New
York Times bestseller by master storyteller Stephen King!
On October 1, God is in His heaven, the stock market stands at 10,140,
most of the planes are on time, and graphic artist Clayton Riddell is
visiting Boston, having just landed a deal that might finally enable him
to make art instead of teaching it. But all those good feelings about
the future change in a hurry thanks to a devastating phenomenon that
will come to be known as The Pulse.
The delivery method is a cell phone--everyone's cell phone. Now Clay
and the few desperate survivors who join him suddenly find themselves in
the pitch-black night of civilization's darkest age, surrounded by
chaos, carnage, and a relentless human horde that has been reduced to
its basest nature...and then begins to evolve.
There's really no escaping this nightmare. But for Clay, an arrow points
the way home to his family in Maine, and as he and his fellow refugees
make their harrowing journey north, they begin to see the crude signs
confirming their direction. A promise of a safe haven, perhaps, or quite
possibly the deadliest trap of all...
