– At its best, Stephen King is one of the very best authors of his genre, and though he has delivered some novels not of the utter most quality, "Under the Dome" is King claiming the throne once again! When an invisible barrier mysteriously descends around a small American town in Maine, it brings about a trail of destruction that leads to the first of what will be several untimely deaths that will occur over the next few weeks! Myra Evans is gardening in her back yard when the barrier comes down around her perimeter severing her hand and part of her arm; Claudette Saunders is enjoying a flying lesson when the plane she is piloting collides with the invisible force-field, exploding in a ball of flame and bringing about near instantaneous death and there are several motor vehicle accidents down on the ground that also end fatally. Ex Gulf War veteran, Dale Barbera, is on his way out of town after a recent conflict with some of the town's youths when The Dome shuts off Chester's Mill from the rest of the world and prevents his departure. This is a book for the fans, a very fascinating read!
