Stephen King's horror epic continues in this issue as the unseen killer, the super-flu Captain Trips, spreads across the entire country, a tide of disease and death. Meanwhile, in Atlanta, in the Center for Disease Control, the US government has taken a keen interest in Stuart Redman, who seems to be the only person immune to the Captain Trips infection. They are determined to find out why--with or without Stu's cooperation. And what do the recurring nightmares Stu's been having--about a dark man with red eyes standing in a cornfield--mean? Plus: Frannie Goldsmith and her father! Larry Underwood in New York! And Nick Andros takes a wrong turn in Shoyo, Arkansas!

BONUS REVIEW by JOHN ROBINSON
Really enjoyed issue #1, also really enjoyed issue #2 ~ but I had to read the recap as to what happened last issue (I've never read this novel).
LOTS of characters, LOTS & LOTS of characters. Easy to get lost. Sometimes they refer to them by their first name, sometimes last. This is the only problem I've got with the book. You've got to put some effort into keeping everyone straight. Otherwise it's SPECTACULAR and everyone should be reading it!
