I read all Stephen King books, so it will have to be by some other author.

The Hot Zone by Richard Preston (Non-Fiction)
A true story of the outbreak of Ebola and Marburg viruses in Africa.
Try some of Michael Crichtons Books: List here;

How bout 'grapes of wrath',,,ever read that? That book is about the terrible consequences that faced this nation because of the great dust bowl.
'I'v lived a 1000 years' is a good book,,,tells the story of the holocaust which is the most major disaster of all time!!

I was going to suggest Heart Shaped Box by Joe Hill who is King's son, but someone beat me to it. You might also like some of Michael Crichton's books.

I LOVE Stephen King's writeings: he's my favorite author! Well...hm, "DreamCatcher" by him is an excellent book. My second favorite, actually.
