The Long Walk

In this #1 national bestseller, â€œmaster storytellerâ€ (Houston Chronicle) Stephen King, writing as Richard Bachman, tells the tale of the contestants of a grueling walking competition where there can only be one winnerâ€”the one that survives.

â€œI give my congratulations to the winner among your number, and my acknowledgements of valor to the losers.â€

Against the wishes of his mother, sixteen-year-old Ray Garraty is about to compete in the annual grueling match of stamina and wits known as The Long Walk. One hundred boys must keep a steady pace of four miles per hour without ever stopping...with the winner being awarded â€œThe Prizeâ€â€”anything he wants for the rest of his life. But, as part of this national tournament that sweeps through a dystopian America year after year, there are some harsh rules that Garraty and ninety-nine others must adhere to in order to beat out the rest. There is no finish lineâ€”the winner is the last man standing. Contestants cannot receive any outside aid whatsoever. Slow down under the speed limit and youâ€™re given a warning. Three warnings and youâ€™re out of the gameâ€”permanently....
