DUST JACKET INTRODUCTION
THERE'S A REASON CELL RHYMES WITH HELL.
On October 1, God is in His heaven, the stock market stands at 10,140, most of the planes are on time, and Clayton Riddell, an artist from Maine, is almost bouncing up Boylston Street in Boston. He's just landed a comic book deal that might finally enable him to support his family by making art instead of teaching it. He's already picked up a small (but expensive!) gift for his long-suffering wife, and he knows just what he'll get for his boy Johnny. Why not a little treat for himself? Clay's feeling good about the future.
That changes in a hurry. The cause of the devastation is a phenomenon that will come to be known as The Pulse, and the delivery method is a cell phone. Everyone's cell phone. Clay and the few desperate survivors who join him suddenly find themselves in the pitch-black night of civilization's darkest age, surrounded by chaos, carnage, and a human horde that has been reduced to its basest nature ... and then begins to evolve.
There's really no escaping this nightmare. But for Clay, an arrow points home to Maine, and as he and his fellow refugees make their harrowing journey north they begin to see crude signs confirming their direction: KASHWAK=NO-FO. A promise, perhaps. Ora threat ...
There are one hundred and ninety-three million cell phones in the United States alone. Who doesn't have one? Stephen King's utterly gripping, gory, and fascinating novel doesn't just ask the question "Can you hear me now?" It answers it with a vengeance.

DUST JACKET INTRODUCTION
Will Alexander, a brilliant. flamboyant defense lawyer out of Santa Fe. New Mexico, fiercely believes that society's underdogs don't always get a fair shake in the criminal justice system. At a low point in his life he is unexpectedly thrust into a case that will severely test his convictions. Alexander is embroiled in a second divorce. while his first wife is leaving Santa Fe with their ten-year-old daughter. Claudia. the only person who matters to Will. His drinking and sexual adventures. always a matter of concern. are now out of control. and his partners in the law firm he founded are about to force him out.
Amidst this ruin. Alexander meets with the men who will become his clientsfour desperados who live beyond society's edge. members of the outlaw Scorpion motorcycle gang. The four. including their leader. a charismatic and colorful man known as Lone Wolf. have been accused of a grisly murder. They insist, against mounting evidence. that they didn't do it. The more Will gets to know the accused. the more he feels that. despicable though they may be. they are innocent of this particular crime.
And now Will and the team of lawyers he gathers around him are the only ones who stand between the outlaw bikers and their execution by the state.
Against the Wind proceeds at an electric pace. There is the dramatic murder trial: a vivid all-night healing ceremony that Will shares with the elders of a Native American tribe: an apocalyptic prison riot that involves both the bikers and Will Alexander himself: a wild religious revival meeting in rural West Virginia: and a final courtroom confrontation of almost unbearable tension. Adding dimension and humanity to the novel are Will's caring relationship with his precocious daughter and a developing love affair with his associate on the case, Mary Lou Bell. who is young. smart. competitive"Kathleen Turner with a Phi Beta Kappa key:" It is Mary Lou who helps Will turn the case and find the redemption he must achieve.
In this novel of immense and unflagging vitality, J. E Freedman will remind readers of novelists like James Jones and the young Norman Mailer. But Freedman has a voice of his own: strong. contemporary, authoritative. This is a stunning publishing debut.
