Wowza!
Addictive, shocking, pulse pounding, heart breaking, and moving! Worst Case Scenario delivers and then some! T.J. Newman’s star continues to shine as she has dazzled me yet again with another gripping book involving an airplane tragedy. Flying the friendly skies has never been so deadly!
A pilot suffers a windowmaker heart attack at 35,000 feet and collapses on the yoke. His co-pilot is trapped in the lavatory and the plane, full of passengers, crashes into a nuclear power plant in Waketa, Minnesota! Can you even imagine the damage? This could be worse than Fukushima and Chernobyl.
Everyday people including plant workers, firemen, teachers, and community members are put to the biggest test of their lives as they scramble to not only save themselves, their children, and their community, but the world as they know it. This is no easy feat; in fact, it is unimaginable and beyond dangerous.
This book had me on the edge of my seat, my heart pounding, as I worried about the characters, the danger they are in, the losses they are suffering, while being amazed at their bravery and courage under pressure.
T.J. Newman pulled out all the stops with Worst Case Scenario. This book is full of tension, suspense, danger, and dread. I marveled at how well thought out this book was. Newman captured the characters’ intense fear, their sense of being powerless, their tenacity, their courage, and their hope.
This book also evokes emotion and I found myself thinking “no, no, no” multiple times while reading. The characters in this book are presented with heartbreaking decisions as they scramble to save the plant and each other. Whew! With T.J. Newman’s stellar writing and descriptions, I felt as if I were right there with the characters as a silent observer.
I loved how ordinary people are put in extraordinary situations in this book. The characters were in impossible situations and found themselves not only making tough calls but performing acts of bravery that they never knew they could make. I rooted for them, I cried with them, and I was amazed at their strength.
I had both the book and the audiobook versions of Worst Case Scenario, which made for a thrilling reading experience. Joe Morton did a fantastic job of narrating the audiobook and bringing the characters to life.
If you have not read a book by T.J. Newman yet, what are you waiting for?
Gripping, shocking, heart wrenching and full of tension! Highly recommend.
