SynopsisDon't miss the "harrowing" ( The Washington Post ) #1 New York Times bestselling thriller from Stephen King that inspired the hit television series, following the apocalyptic scenario of a town cut off from the rest of the world. On an entirely normal, beautiful fall day in Chester's Mill, Maine, the town is inexplicably and suddenly sealed off from the rest of the world by an invisible force field. Planes crash into it and fall from the sky in flaming wreckage, a gardener's hand is severed as "the dome" comes down on it, people running errands in the neighboring town are divided from their families, and cars explode on impact. No one can fathom what this barrier is, where it came from, and when -- or if -- it will go away. Dale Barbara, Iraq vet and now a short-order cook, finds himself teamed with a few intrepid citizens -- town newspaper owner Julia Shumway, a physician's assistant at the hospital, a select-woman, and three brave kids. Against them stands Big Jim Rennie, a politician who will stop at nothing -- even murder -- to hold the reins of power, and his son, who is keeping a horrible secret in a dark pantry. But their main adversary is the Dome itself. Because time isn't just short. It's running out.

  • Return to the King

    As a teen (late 80's to late 90's) I was an avid Stephen King fan. I then moved on to other aspects of life. While I remained a devout reader of other authors, I never went back to SK. Recently, I decided to renew my interest by collection First Editions. Under The Dome was my first buy (I figured, why not start with his thickest book). It took me 2 minutes to fall back in love with his unique and creative story-telling. I look forward to getting all (58?) books in first editions. Highly recommended

  • Better than TV Series

    What can you say about a book this size! So much to read and ponder from a great American writer. And, as is so often said: "The book is so much better" than the TV series was (even at its best).
