Under the Dome By Stephen King

Stephen King ups his own considerable ante once again in Under the Dome, the chilling tale of a small Maine town inexplicably sealed off from the rest of the world by an invisible force field.

Planes crash into it and fall from the sky. A gardener's hand is severed as "the dome" comes down on it. Cars explode on impact. No one can fathom what this barrier is, and when—or if—it will go away.

Iraq vet and short-order cook Dale Barbara joins forces with a few intrepid citizens to get to the bottom of the mystery. Against them stands Big Jim Rennie, a politician who will stop at nothing—even murder—to hold the reins of power. But their main adversary is the dome itself. Because time isn't just short. It's running out. more

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.

  • Man, Steve has a way of lulling you into this warm cozy false sense of security, and just when you think that everything is going to be OK, Bam some brutally horrible shit happens and blows your mind. Reading his books are like playing russian roullete with your innocence.

  • Looking forward to reading this !

  • @JayneBarnum Just wondering... But i read this book awhile ago and got it the other day on CD. Are you listening to the CD version narrated by Raul Esparza? If so you will love it. Great reader. And yes apparently this is going to be an HBO series. Its far to massive of a story to shove into a 2-3 hour movie. Cant wait for it. Read somewhere its going to be aired sometime in 2011.

  • Wow no dislikes..... And i've ordered two of his books! :) I love Stephen King.
