Wow, what a ride! This book gets dark (and at times VERY Descriptive) very quickly and I even wondered whether it might be too much for me (and I NEVER get affected by anything I read), but by God, I almost read this in one sitting.
A commercial airliner crashes into a nuclear facility, and this novel does not shy away from the descriptions of what happens to people on board and on the ground before it hits the plant.
Do the townspeople need to evacuate? What can and should the fire department do to help? What about the staff at the facility? So many difficult choices and I particularly liked that this is not a "happy ever after, good will always win out" type novel.
These were characters I became invested in and the vivid descriptions made this feel all too real
