Worst Case Scenario by T.J. Newman
5.0
Well, as predicted TJ Newman once again threw me into the middle of an aviation nightmare with hopes that I could hang on for dear life, praying that strength in humanity would prevail in preventing an even bigger catastrophic disaster.
In this novel, a large passenger plane meets its unexpected and unfortunate demise with a crash into a small Minnesota nuclear power plant. What transpires from there is not only a fast-paced suspense filled journey into a potential nuclear meltdown, but more importantly a discovery of what someone can find within themselves when faced with an impossible decision.
The level of research and detail with regard to the highly regulated industry of nuclear power was in and of itself incredible, but that was not the most amazing thing about this book. While you followed along with the thrilling and anxiety ridden portions of the story, the author also masterfully crafted relationships and character traits that drew you in and actually made you care about the people. These characters felt like anyone you would meet in any local midwestern town, and being from the Midwest myself, I really appreciated the portrayal of the people, their values and their willingness to stick up for others at all costs.
The audiobook format was great as well. Joe Morton was the perfect narrator with the best calm but commanding voice for the story. The interjections of walkie talkie type announcements throughout just amplified the ambiance of the situation even more. Great production value.
I expected this book to be great and it was indeed phenomenal. Highly recommend.
