Roaming charges and dropped calls are the least of your concerns. What if instead of a bomb or biological warfare, terrorists attack using your cell phone? This is the basic premise of 'Cell,' Stephen King's newest thriller. The novel tells the story of Clay Riddell and various other refugees in the aftermath of The Pulse, an unexplained 'virus' that attacks people through their cell phones. Violence ensues as the 'phone crazies' first attack each other, and then begin to evolve into zombie-like creatures with group telepathic powers. The only ones saved from this terrible fate are the people not using their cell phones during or after The Pulse. The story follows Clay and his loyal band of followers as they head north in search of loved ones. Making various stops along the way, more people join their group in the struggle for survival in a now- uncertain world.
