Under The Dome (9780340992586)

O 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 it and rain down flaming wreckage. A gardener's hand is severed as the domes descends.

Cars explode on impact. Families are separated and panic mounts.No-one can fathom what the barrier is, where it came form, and when - or if - it will go away. Now, a few intrepid citizens, led by an Iraq vet turned short-order cook, face down a ruthless politician dead set on seizing the reins of power under the dome. But their main adversary is the dome itself. Because time isn't just runngng out.
