Stephen King’s latest thriller has perhaps the most dreadfully dull cover ever conceived for a novel of his. The front is plain red with a shovel-shaped cutout on the front.

...guise of a broad education is just a red herring, if not a façade for promoting the terrorist agenda. We are in a state of war. We need to focus on the problem at hand: eradicating the unreasonable, ungodly, democracy-hating savages from the face of this Earth. These people do not listen to reason—they are religious extremists who only understand hatred. We have to fight fire with fire—not with a required half-course in each of seven unique fields...
