Publisher's Summary
This is the way the world ends: with a nanosecond of computer error
in a Defense Department laboratory and a million casual contacts that
form the links in a chain letter of death.
And here is the bleak new world of the day after: a world stripped of
its institutions and emptied of 99 percent of its people. A world in
which a handful of panicky survivors choose sides - or are chosen. A
world in which good rides on the frail shoulders of the 108-year-old
Mother Abagail - and the worst nightmares of evil are embodied in a
man with a lethal smile and unspeakable powers: Randall Flagg, the dark
man.
In 1978 Stephen King published The Stand, the novel that is now considered
to be one of his finest works. But as it was first published, The Stand
was incomplete, since more than 150,000 words had been cut from the
original manuscript.
Now Stephen King's apocalyptic vision of a world blasted by plague and
embroiled in an elemental struggle between good and evil has been restored
to its entirety. The Stand: The Complete and Uncut Edition includes
more than 500 pages of material previously deleted, along with new material
that King added as he reworked the manuscript for a new generation.
It gives us new characters and endows familiar ones with new depths.
It has a new beginning and a new ending. What emerges is a gripping
work with the scope and moral complexity of a true epic.
For hundreds of thousands of fans who read or listened to The Stand
in its original version and wanted more, this new edition is Stephen
King's gift. And those who are hearing The Stand for the first time
will discover a triumphant and eerily plausible work of the imagination
that takes on the issues that will determine our survival.
What the Critics Say
"A master storyteller." (Los Angeles Times)
"[The Stand] has everything. Adventure. Romance. Prophecy. Allegory.
Satire. Fantasy. Realism. Apocalypse. Great!" (The New York Times Book
Review)
"As brilliant a dark dream as has ever been dreamed in this century."
(Palm Beach Post)
