Under the Dome, novel by Stephen King (2009)

Star Trek: The Next Generation - Chains of Command
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Chains of Command is a novel that is appealing in some ways, yet disappointing in many others. It is appealing, in part, because of the aliens that are created just for this story: they are a race of intelligent avian, or bird-like, creatures. …
