Worst Case Scenario
Worst Case Scenario: A Novel | T.J. Newman
11 posts | 12 read | 1 reading | 5 to read
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 peoplepower 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.

Newman is an autobuy for me. I love the fast-paced action and have found all three of her books to be wins for me. This didn‘t beat Falling (and probably not Drowning either) for me, but I still really enjoyed it.

The best part of the book is the beginning where it takes place on the plane..this is where Newman is in her element. The rest of the story, about a small town with one-dimensional characters trying to avert the meltdown of their nuclear power plant, feels melodramatic, silly and wholly preposterous.

(Note: I lost both my mom and my aunt within a two week period while reading this, so this could have impacted my review, but I doubt it.)

As with her previous books this one is a disaster thriller. It is set around an plane crash and a nuclear power facility. The plotting is very fast paced and the fact that you are left with no time to catch your breath between all the action is my only minor quibble with this book. It is also the strength of the riveting story though, as you get caught up in the anxiety and stress of the events. Thanks to NetGalley for the digital ARC. 4.25/5

Taking a #botm break to read a library book. I cataloged this last week and decided I was in the mood for a disaster book.

Gosh this was so good! But I knew it would be. I‘ve learned that each TJ Newman release is absolutely must read for me, as soon as I possibly can.

This was a fast-paced, gripping, white knuckle disaster story set in small town US when a plane crashes into a nuclear power plant. Three major plots converge into an intense, explosive ending. I barely breathed the entire way thru.

Just as I expected from this author! So intense, so fun to read.

intothehallofbooks I read from an early digital copy sent to me by the publisher via NetGalley. Thanks to the publisher Little Brown for sending it my way. 1mo

I‘m just blown away & don‘t want to give it away.

As I sat down to listen, I thought it was going to be a plane catastrophe story set exclusively on a plane, boy was I wrong.

Super fast paced! High octane thriller that starts with a bang & will have you in tears by the end.

Some characters are asked to do things outside of their comfort zone due to the current emergency circumstances.

World ending disaster movie set in the US.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
