SUMMARY
The Stand is a post-apocalyptic Horror/Science Fiction novel by Stephen King originally published in 1978. It re-works the scenario in King’s earlier short story, "Night Surf" (included in the short story collection Night Shift). It is widely hailed by critics and fans as one of his best novels.[1]
The novel was re-released as The Stand: The Complete Uncut Edition in 1990. King restored some text originally cut for brevity, added and revised sections, changed the setting of the novel from 1980 to 1990, and updated a few pop culture references accordingly. This edition featured art by Berni Wrightson.
A TV miniseries based on The Stand and scripted by King himself was released in 1994.
Stephen King stated during an interview on NPR in March 2008, that Marvel Comics will soon be doing a graphic novel adaptation of The Stand due to the success of the graphic novel adaptation of The Dark Tower.
The novel is divided into 3 parts, or books. The first is entitled "Captain Trips" and takes place over 19 days, with the escape and spread of a human-made biological weapon, a superflu (influenza) virus known formally as "Project Blue" and colloquially as "Captain Trips." The epidemic leads to the death of most of the human population in North America (and the world—it is hinted that General Starkey’s men released the virus in eastern Europe, China and the Soviet Union, and Peru and Senegal are mentioned in discussion of post-epidemic deaths due to natural causes). 99.4% of people are susceptible to Captain Trips, and the disease has a mortality rate of 100%. King outlines the total breakdown and destruction of society through widespread violence, the failure of martial law to contain the outbreak, and eventually the death of virtually the entire population. The human toll is also dealt with as the few survivors care for their families and friends, dealing with confusion and grief as their loved ones ultimately succumb to the flu, which has inexplicably spared them.
The expanded edition opens with a prologue entitled "The Circle Opens" that offers greater detail into the circumstances surrounding the development of the virus and the security breach that allowed its escape from the secret laboratory compound where it was created.
