KIN Cell :a
Novel by Stephen King
Civilization doesn't end with a bang or a whimper. It ends
with a call on your cell phone. What happens on the afternoon of
October 1 came to be known as the Pulse, a signal sent though every
operating cell phone that turns its user into something...well,
something less than human. Savage, murderous, unthinking-and on a
wanton rampage. Terrorist act? Cyber prank gone haywire? It really
doesn't matter, not to the people who avoided the technological attack.
What matters to them is surviving the aftermath. Before long a band of
them-"normies" is how they think of themselves-have gathered
on the grounds of Gaiten
Academy, where
the headmaster and one remaining student have something awesome and
terrifying to show them on the school's moonlit soccer field. Clearly
there can be no escape. The only option is to take them on.
