Joe Hill first spoke of the novel in 2013 in promotional interviews for his then-new novel NOS4A2. He stated that the novel is his version of The Stand by his father, Stephen King. The novel is due to release on May 17, 2016.[1]
Background
Joe Hill first spoke of the novel during his book tour for his previous book, NOS4A2. He described it early on as a "science fiction novel about being happy in the face of darkness". He went on to say that the book is "less like Matheson, more like Crichton. Less like Hell House, more like The Andromeda Strain". On September 5, 2014, Joe Hill did an early reading of the novel as a part of the Pixels Project on YouTube. During the summer of 2015, Joe Hill spoke of the novel quite often on his Twitter account saying that it is a "big book" that is "about A Game of Thrones size." The novel was officially announced on October 16, 2015 during a short media tour that Joe Hill did in Loundon. The novel will release on May 17, 2016 worldwide.
