Title: Worst Case Scenario
Author: T.J. Newman
Narrator: Joe Morton
Publisher: Little, Brown & Company
Release Date: August 13, 2024
Following her explosive debut thriller Falling and its harrowing follow-up Drowning, #1 internationally bestselling author T.J. Newman is back with Worst Case Scenario.
When a pilot suffers a heart attack at 35,000 feet, a commercial airliner filled with passengers crashes into a nuclear power plant in the small town of Waketa, Minnesota, which becomes ground zero for a catastrophic national crisis with global implications.
The International Nuclear Event Scale tracks nuclear disasters. It has seven levels. Level 7 is a Major Accident, with only two on record: Fukushima and Chernobyl. There has never been a Level 8. Until now.
In this heart-stopping thriller, ordinary people—power plant employees, firefighters, teachers, families, neighbors, and friends— are thrust into an extraordinary situation as they face the ultimate test of their lives. It will take the combined courage, ingenuity, and determination of a brave few to save not only their community and loved ones, but the fate of humanity at large.
Chernobyl and Fukushima are both considered Level 7 incidents on the International Nuclear Event Scale. Now, imagine a situation with an even worse outcome!
When a pilot suffers a myocardial infarction while his co-pilot is in the restroom, you know things are going to end badly for everyone on that flight. To make matters worse, the plane crashes into the nuclear power plant in Waketa, Minnesota, unleashing a terrifying disaster that could have global consequences.
Worst Case Scenario features multiple points of view and a wide range of characters. I found that listening to the audio version, narrated by Joe Morton, helped me keep track of everyone more easily.
The novel is fast-paced and full of suspense. It was easy to like most of the main characters and root for their survival.
I can't wait for this to be adapted into a movie.
Cliffhanger: No
4/5 Fangs
