Hi All,
Just treated myself to a sneaky peek to the rough synopsis of Under the Dome..What a really good idea - I can imagine the chaos which would ensue after such an event....Anyone else really looking forward to this one? :biggrin2:
Here's the sneaky peek in full (that is if you havent already read it in the news feed) please note i have added spoiler markers for those who don't even want a slight indication of the story - there are no real spoilers in this thread :cool2:
On an entirely normal, beautiful fall day in Chester’s Mill, Maine, the town is inexplicably and suddenly sealed off from the rest of the world by an invisible force field. Planes crash into it and fall from the sky in flaming wreckage, a gardener’s hand is severed as “the dome” comes down on it, people running errands in the neighboring town are divided from their families, and cars explode on impact. No one can fathom what this barrier is, where it came from, and when—or if—it will go away.
Dale Barbara, 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 isn’t just short. It’s running out.
