I really have to respond to this comment. I think part of the nature of creativity is that nothing exists in a vacuum and there needs to be a spark from somewhere. Many unique creative works are inspired by others. If Year One was inspired by The Stand, then kudos to Nora Roberts and to Stephen King. Even with different types of characters and though I am at the beginning, it is already shaping up to be a journey, fellow travelers collected along the way, some survivors with the light of goodness in their hearts and some with the dark of evil.
Since it’s possible that Nora Roberts’ and Stephen King’s readers don’t always intersect, this may be to the 21st century what The Stand was to the 20th. I think it is the quintessential 20th century novel of man’s internal struggle between good and evil, and it is ALWAYS riveting for me, no matter which read it is.
Having said that, my favorite novel of all time is The Stand by Stephen King, which I re-read every 5 to 10 years. I just started Year One and do not expect to be disappointed.
