Sometimes, a refuge becomes a prison. Five hundred years after the Earth was evacuated, fifteen-year-old Peter Russell awakes inside the Dome--a sealed world created to provide refuge for those left behind. While he's been in suspended animation, the world has changed around him. His mom has aged twenty years seemingly overnight. Disabilities are nearly nonexistent. And the Dome is ruled by an insane scientist and the minions who worship him like a god. The same scientist who married his mother while he was in deep sleep. When his little brother Jacob disappears, Peter must find allies to help him search--and avoid those who would prefer Jacob not exist at all.
