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, neighbours, 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.
The third book from the author, and if you loved her first two books, where the focus was on the actual plane itself, and the plot was based on board the plane. However, in this case, the plane crashes into a nuclear power station and what happens next only focuses on the plane parts.
Even though the author deviated from her usual style of book, the premise still turned out to be a good one. Multiple POVs, which focus on different parts of where the crash happens, the pacing of the book is initially slow, and the tension doesn't amp up until the end.
I found the book was good, I would have rather had a more plane-based book since that is what the author is known for. But I still rated the book a four-star rating. If the book was set on a plane, then I could have rated it higher.
