Stephen King’s bestselling apocalyptic thriller is a major motion picture starring John Cusack (1408), Samuel L. Jackson (Django Unchained) and Isabelle Fuhrman (Orphan) coming in August.

Civilization slipped into its second dark age on an unsurprising track of blood but with a speed that could not have been foreseen by even the most pessimistic futurist. By Halloween, every major city from New York to Moscow stank to the empty heavens and the world as it had been was a memory.


The event became known as The Pulse. The virus was carried by every cell phone operating throughout the entire world. Within ten hours, most people would be dead or insane.

A young artist Clayton Riddell realises what is happening. And together with Tom McCourt and a teenage girl called Alice, he flees the devastation of explosive, burning Boston, desperate to reach his son before he switches on his little red mobile phone . . .

Very clever and brilliantly written . . . you won't use your mobile for days.
Guardian
Storytelling - the ability to make the listener or the reader need to know, demand to know, what happens next - is a gift . . . Stephen King has this gift in spades.
