Legendary the world over, Stephen King stands alone as the master of horror. In Under the Dome, a quiet town in Maine is thrown into chaos when an invisible force field suddenly appears, cutting off the townspeople from the rest of society. Short-order cook Dale Barbara watches as a plane strikes the dome and goes down in flames. But he'll soon learn that the greatest threat comes from inside-where greed and the thirst for power run rampant.
