Summary
In Stephen King's mesmerizing new masterpiece - his biggest, most riveting novel since The Stand - a Maine town and its inhabitants are isolated from the world by an invisible, impenetrable dome.
Celebrated storyteller Stephen King returns to his roots in this tour de force, featuring more than 100 characters - some heroic, some diabolical - and a supernatural element as baffling and chilling as any he's ever conjured.
On an entirely normal, beautiful fall day in Chester's Mills, 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 selectwoman, 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.
With some of the most spectacularly sinister characters King has ever imagined and a driving plot, Under the Dome is Stephen King at his epic best. This book will thrill every listener who's ever loved a novel by King.

Another Stephen King Classic
A excellent book with richness and depth of character that you come to expect from Stephen King. The narrator did an brilliant job of reading such an epic book whilst maintaining character integrity throughout.

One of the best
Thoroughly entertaining, my only gripe or two was that I felt the voice of the same character changed occasionally,,, this might be me just getting characters confused as there were so many... This formula of writing a lead protagonist that is good (moral), strong, heterosexual male that falls for a woman that is also good (moral), strong, heterosexual female is rampant with writers these days (pandering American ideals?). Anyway it is still a great story.

A truly fantastic read.
A long book but devoured in a short space of time. A wonderful and terrible look into human nature - all the best and worst. Stephen King at his best.

A meaty tome!
I'm a Stephen King fan anyway, but just never got around to reading this heavyweight tome. I loved the huge range of characters and the narrator was wonderful at characterising them all. Highly recommended.

Familiar but interesting
This felt like a lot of other Stephen king stories, very reminiscent of Tommy knockers with the “trapped” in a town vibe. It’s really good though and like all King books, the characters are fleshed out extensively, so the story does take a while to move. Enjoyed though worth a listen.
