<b>A decadent rock star. A deeply religious radio host. A disgraced scientist. And a teenage girl who may be the world&rsquo;s last hope. From the mind of Chuck Wendig comes &ldquo;a magnum opus . . . a story about survival that&rsquo;s not just about you and me, but all of us, together&rdquo; (<i>Kirkus Reviews</i>,<i>&#160;</i>starred review).</b><br><b>NOMINATED FOR THE BRAM STOKER AWARD &bull; NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY <i>The Washington Post </i>&bull; NPR &bull; <i>The Guardian</i> &bull;&#160;<i>Kirkus Reviews </i>&bull; <i>Publishers Weekly </i>&bull; <i>Library Journal </i>&bull; <i>Polygon</i></b><br> Shana wakes up one morning to discover her little sister in the grip of a strange malady. She appears to be sleepwalking. She cannot talk and cannot be woken up. And she is heading with inexorable determination to a destination that only she knows. But Shana and her sister are not alone. Soon they are joined by a flock of sleepwalkers from across America, on the same mysterious journey. And like Shana, there are other &ldquo;shepherds&rdquo; who follow the flock to protect their friends and family on the long dark road ahead.<br>For as the sleepwalking phenomenon awakens terror and violence in America, the real danger may not be the epidemic but the fear of it. With society collapsing all around them&mdash;and an ultraviolent militia threatening to exterminate them&mdash;the fate of the sleepwalkers depends on unraveling the mystery behind the epidemic. The terrifying secret will either tear the nation apart&mdash;or bring the survivors together to remake a shattered world.<br><b>In development for TV by Glen Mazzara, executive producer of&#160;<i>The Walking Dead</i>&#160;&bull;&#160;Look forthe sequel in 2022<br></b> &ldquo;This career-defining epic deserves its inevitable comparisons to Stephen King&rsquo;s <i>The Stand</i>.&rdquo;<b>&mdash;<i>Publishers Weekly</i> (starred review)</b><br> &ldquo;A suspenseful, twisty, satisfying, surprising, thought-provoking epic.&rdquo;<b>&mdash;Harlan Coben,<i> </i>#1<i> New York Times </i>bestselling author of<i> Run Away</i></b><br> &ldquo;A true tour de force.&rdquo;<b>&mdash;Erin Morgenstern, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>The Night Circus</i><br></b><br> &ldquo;A masterpiece with prose as sharp and heartbreaking as <i>Station Eleven</i>.&rdquo;<b>&mdash;Peng Shepherd, author of <i>The Book of M</i></b><br> &ldquo;A magnum opus . . .
