Overview

Set in the fictional town of Castle Rock, Maine

A #1 national bestseller about a man who wakes up from a five-year coma able to see people's futures and the terrible fate awaiting mankind in The Dead Zone--a "compulsive page-turner" (The Atlanta Journal-Constitution).

Johnny Smith awakens from a five-year coma after his car accident and discovers that he can see people's futures and pasts when he touches them. Many consider his talent a gift; Johnny feels cursed. His fianc e married another man during his coma and people clamor for him to solve their problems.

When Johnny has a disturbing vision after he shakes the hand of an ambitious and amoral politician, he must decide if he should take drastic action to change the future. With "powerful tension that holds the reader to the story like a pin to a magnet" (The Houston Post), The Dead Zone is a "faultlessly paced...continuously engrossing" (Los Angeles Times) novel of second sight.

    As a boy all Johnny Smith cared about was being the best ice skater in town. After taking a nasty fall on the ice, Johnny sees flashes of something that he doesnt quite understand. But, as all children tend to do, he promptly forgets about the fall and its subsequent visions and is left with only a small scar on the back of his head. Moving forward several years, John Smith has turned into a charming young man, a Good Guy. He has a great sense of humor, he loves his parents (even his mother who is slowly descending into obscure religious zealotry) and Sarah. When he wins big at the roulette wheel at the village carnival Johnnys life seems to be on an ever-improving trajectory, until a fatal taxi ride and an accident. With no purpose to his now tragic life Johnny moves closer into a mystical abyss until he meets prospective presidential candidate Greg Stillson. Though The Dead Zone has its supernatural moments, this is a story about a hero and his nemesis going head to head. Stephen King has written a well-crafted novel that will ensnare the reader from the very beginning.

    This is such a good story, main dude is one of SK's most unforgettable characters. It's hard to remind myself that he IS a character from a book, he stole my heart, such a good story!

    A great read that uses sci-fi to put the pat and current political climateS into a dark perspective.
