That's the King-Straub collaboration book, isn't it? I have read that book (20 years ago), but I'm not placing it in memory (it wasn't as memorable as The Stand).

I think it was before the K-S collaboration, but I enjoyed it, the Stand was great but I loved Talisman,("My laws" was from Talisman I believe,(Wolf)).

Preferred The Stand to The Talisman (a King/Straub collaboration). The Talisman was good and very original in it's way...but The Stand was King's magnum opus. The SUB PLOTS in the book - the movie could come nowhere close - were incredible. We had devastating plague, human kindness and cruelty, human ingenuity for the sake of survival and typical human frailties ALL overlaid with a monumental battle of Good against Evil.

I either sold at a flea market of loaned out The Talisman...The Stand is in my book case. It's a keeper.
