On to entirely normal, beautiful fall day in Chester''s Mill,

and fall from the sky in flaming wreckage, impact a gardener''s hand
is severed as "The Dome" comes down on it, people running errands
in the town neighboring are divided from their families, and cars
explode on. No one can fathom what this barrier is, where it came
from, and when - or if - it will go away.
Barbara Dale, 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 is not just short. It''s running out.
