Swan Song by Robert R. McCammon
4.0

3.5 stars

When people say it's like "The Stand 2.0", they aren't kidding. The plot is nearly identical. It just has a different set of characters and different reason for the destruction of the human race.

I do like that Mr. McCammon fleshed out the beginning and end a bit more than Mr. King, but King's story felt more grounded to me (at least up until the ending).
