Under the Dome

King's 'propulsively intriguing . . . staggeringly addictive' ( USA Today ) No. 1 bestseller, that inspired a hit television series, centres on a small town suddenly cut off from the rest of the world. Time isn't just running short. It's running out. On a beautiful autumn day, a small New England town is suddenly and inexplicably sealed off from the rest of the world by an invisible force field. Planes crash into the dome and rain down flaming wreckage. A gardener's hand is severed as it descends. Cars explode on impact. Families are separated and panic mounts. No one can fathom what the barrier is, where it came from, or when - and if - it will go away. Now, a few intrepid citizens, led by an Iraq War veteran turned short-order cook, face down a ruthless politician dead set on seizing the reins of power in the town. But their main adversary is the dome itself . . .
