What an exciting thrilling suspense book. I began with Falling, then inhaled Drowning, and now a third standalone follow-up that keeps you on the edge of your seat from the very first page. Recommend!

Thank you to Netgalley for this eARC gift in exchange for my honest review.

TJ Newman knows how to grab you and pull you in from the first pages. A commercial airline pilot suffers a fatal heart attack sending his plane careening into a nuclear power plant. The description of the plane parts hitting various places around the town of Waketa, MN will have your heart in your throat. But she ramps it even up from there. Worst Case Scenario is aptly named. The situation has the potential to destroy life as we know it for America. “Mr. President, this could be our first level eight.” “What would a level eight mean?” “ It would be an extinction-level event, sir.”
Told from a variety of different POVs, each facing their own part in the disaster, each character is forced to make difficult choices. Think of the ethical dilemma question about a runaway train. What is the best decision for the greater good? Plus, they must maintain calm and power on, even as they worry about their own families. Needless to say, this isn’t a book with any downtime. I found the characters to be well drawn, people I could really care about. Despite the tension and stress, there were some feel-good moments as people came together and rose to the occasion.
My thanks to Netgalley and Little, Brown for an advance copy of this book.

What would you consider the worst case scenario to be. Well, in this exciting new thriller from aviation guru, T. J. Newman, it is the horrifying crash of a large passenger jetliner in a small town nuclear power plant. Imagine all the outstanding possibilities and off you go.

If you like nonstop thrillers this book is for you. Buckle up, strap yourself down, and hang on for dear life. Anything can happen!

I’ve read novels by T. J. Newman before and liked them. This one involves a nerve wracking scenario of a large plane crashing into a nuclear power plant. The tension was actually too much for me.
