Swan Song
by Robert R. McCammon
The easy comparison is to King's The Stand, and just like that one, I'm unsure about the supernatural elements to the story. When the rest of it is such a gritty exploration of life after a nuclear holocaust, a shapeshifter, a symbolic disease, and a magical crown feel strange. They're no weirder than zombies when you get right down to it, and a lot more creative. My thoughts for this one are a bit scattered, but it really is a huge novel that attempts -- and succeeds -- a lot of important points and big moments.
