The Rising, at least, is pretty damn good. I'm going to go buy the sequel today, so I'll comment on that one when I'm finished. His other novel, The Conqueror Worms, is excellent as well. It's a very interesting take on an apocalyptic scenario.

Zero, I really don't see how The Rising is derivative of The Stand. If anything, I'd say it's more similar to McCammon's Swan Song than anything else. Why do you say that it is?
