In 1978, a local reporter horrified the nation with his award-winning expose of the Love Canal toxic waste scandal in Niagara Falls. Now, in his chilling account of America's most devastating ecological problem, that reporter, Michael Brown, tells the whole Love Canal story, and exposes more of the thousands of chemical waste dumps across the United States that have contaminated our water, our soil - the very air we breathe - causing life-threatening medical problems for innocent victims. Not since Rachel Carson's Silent Spring have we been so boldly challenged to halt the relentless destruction of our environment - and ourselves.

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.

Discovered in the attic in which she spent the last years of her life, Anne Frank's remarkable diary has since become a world classic-a powerful reminder of the horrors of war and an eloquent testament to the human spirit. In 1942, with Nazis occupying Holland, a thirteen-year-old Jewish girl and her family fled their home in Amsterdam and went into hiding. For the next two years, until their whereabouts were betrayed to the Gestapo, they and another family lived cloistered in the "Secret Annex" of an old office building. Cut off from the outside world, they faced hunger, boredom, the constant cruelties of living in confined quarters, and the ever-present threat of discovery and death. In her diary Anne Frank recorded vivid impressions of her experiences during this period. By turns thoughtful, moving, and amusing, her account offers a fascinating commentary on human courage and frailty and a compelling self-portrait of a sensitive and spirited young woman whose promise was tragically cut short.

Now the Charmed Ones must figure out which of their friends is really their enemy. Because sometimes what you don't know--can kill you.
