Those who remain are scared, bewildered, and in need of a leader. Two emerge--Mother Abagail, the benevolent 108-year-old woman who urges them to build a peaceful community in Boulder, Colorado; and Randall Flagg, the nefarious "Dark Man," who delights in chaos and violence. As the dark man and the peaceful woman gather power, the survivors will have to choose between them--and ultimately decide the fate of all humanity. u003cpu003e(This edition includes all of the new and restored material first published in u003ciu003eThe Standu003c/iu003e u003ciu003eThe Complete And Uncut Editionu003c/iu003e.)
