Stephen King The Dead Zone - experience the future before it happens

Description: After being in a coma for almost 5 years as the result of an auto accident, Johnny Smith awakens with a strange power, after touching someone he can see their life, past, present and future. After shaking the hand of a politician he sees a very dark future.

Torn by a sense of right and wrong, John decides that it is up to him to act against the evil politician, and he risks, and gives, his life in order to save the world from certain destruction. He fails in his task of killing the politician, but his actions are enough to save humanity.
