The ?propulsively intriguing, staggeringly addictive? (USA TODAY) novel from master storyteller Stephen Kinga #1 New York Times bestseller.It is a typical October morning in Chester?s Mill, Maine: glorious weather, a perfectly blue sky, and quiet. Then, all hell breaks loose. Inexplicably, and simultaneously, a plane falls from the sky in flames; a woman?s hand is severed; and a farmer?s John Deere explores (with him on it). A few moments later, a pulptruck crashes spectacularly. Somehow, an invisible and impermeable barrierexactly following the town?s perimeterhas descended upon the town.Life under the dome quickly becomes a hothousewith the best in some people and the worst in others flourishing. There are unambiguous heroes and villains, from a supremely corrupt local politician to a very enterprising newspaper reporter. The situation under the dome deteriorates by the minute: supplies of everything are diminishing quickly, the citizens are panicking, and the police force, under the control of the diabolically devious alderman Jim Rennie, implement their own version of martial law. Meanwhile, Barbie, brave Iraq war vet and short order cook, and a band of intrepid pals engage in a race against time to find the source of the dome and raise it before there?s nobody left alive in Chester?s Mill.Under the Dome is filled with a marvelous and enormous cast of over 100 characters. King?s trademark idiomatic language is pure pleasure to read. ?Nowhere in Mr. King?s immense body of work have his real and fantasy world collided with such headon force? (The New York Times Book Review).
