Book: Worst Case Scenario
Author: TJ Newman
Pages: 336
This is my 159th read for the year
This is a story of a small town called Waketa. A pilot has a massive heart attack and dies at the controls of his plane. The plane nose dives and crashes into a nuclear powerplant in this small town. Now it is a race against time - with less than 20 hours - to stop a catastophe happening that not only would be a Chernobyl level event, but might be an extinction event. The town must pull together to save not only themselves, but possibly everyone.
This was a great book. I like TJ Newman's books - she knows how to write a thriller. I have read her other two and I find myself gripping the novel with white knuckles almost beginning to end. I ran through this one in 2 days because even though I was sure things would work out in the end for the earth as a whole, I know Newman does not wrap all of her characters up in a neat bow. I commend her for this - she keeps it a little more realistic. I only knocked it half a star because she does have too many characters and too many things going on for 300 pages. She was trying to pull in all the people in the town, but it was unnecessary. Otherwise - great book.
Stars: 4.5
