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 . . .

Critic reviews

Very clever and brilliantly written . . . you won't use your mobile for days.
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.

This is the first audible book I have downloaded, and its quality is poor compared to audio books I have on CD. The quality of the sound changes mid-chapter (as if the reader took a break) and there are many instances of a deeper voice dubbed over for a few words, perhaps when the original reader made a mistake. Excellent story, let down by poor quality audio.

Great story, poor audio

I haven't read many Stephen King books so i cant compare to others but i found this book incredible the ideas that are expressed in this book are genius, i different take on the zombie genre with characters that you will fall in love with. The story keeps you guessing and there's never a dull moment. I found my self struggling to stop listening to this book.

The narrator CAMPBELL SCOTT is AWESOME, his voice perfectly suits the main character of the story and does a great job voicing all the interesting companions and acquaintances throughout the story.

This book is a MUST READ.

could not stop listening, fantastic story

I loved this book, I loved the idea. It's an end of the worlder but a great one, I love the understandings the humans develop of the new world and I actually like the ending. It doesn't have to be all wrapped up nicely with a bow,this is life, live with it

Get it!
