The stand
(Adult Book)

This ed. originally published: London: Hodder & Stoughton, 1990

First came the days of the plague, then came the dreams. Dark dreams that warned of the coming of the dark man. The apostate of death, his worn-down boot heels tramping the night roads. The warlord of the charnel house and Prince of Evil. His time is at hand. His empire grows in the west and the Apocalypse looms. Staff Pick: Another pandemic thriller, with some religious themes thrown in for good measure. Great characters, the majority of whom you’ll happily engage with, with a handful of characters who you’d hopefully run a mile from. Interesting take on how fast society falls apart in the face of adversity and how people come together for the greater good or for personal gain. Picked by Clare
