Worst Case Scenario

De: T.J. Newman

Narrado por: Joe Morton

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 people—power 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.

what the hell?

Ok, so, the story was entertaining overall. There were several parts that didn't seem to make any sense but it wasn't enough to detract from the story.
The ending was what baffled me. It was sort of like watching the movie Armageddon and when it gets to that part toward the end when Harry gets blown away from the detonator and all was hope was lost, your friend turns off the TV. Instead of letting you finish the movie, she turns to you and says, "Everything worked out fine. The world was saved." That's what happens in this book.
The narrator was ok, like being read to by a teacher. There is no real change of voice for characters so it took me a minute to realize that the women all sounded like Christopher Plummer. It could be difficult to always know which character was speaking.

Worst Case Scenario.

Heard of this book on a rerun of a radio broadcast. Glad I did. Best I have heard this year. Definately one that will stay with me.

heart pounding

this was a great book that had my heart reaching from the first sentence on.

What stood out the most for me is this author makes her book seem like you are at the movies and it is real as it can be

If I could rate this book a 10 instead of a five I would. I have read other books by this author, but she has really outdone herself on this one. Everything was just awesome about this book. I highly recommend. Thanks to the author for an awesome job.

🤯

Fast paced, holding your breath thrillers. All three of author’s books are soooo good. Must reads😀

A thriller

I loved this. I couldn't stop listening. This novel grabs you at the beginning and doesn't let you go.

Great follow up

One of the most compelling follow up novels! An instant thriller with heart! Newman crafts human stories with well-researched technical scenarios we hope never happens! Thrilled to blast through this book - can't put it down!

How A Narrator Can Kill An Amazing Book

NUCLEAR is pronounced new-clear. After the 20th or 30th time hearing the narrator pronounce it as new-cue-lar, I almost turned it off and demanded a refund from audible.

That said, the story is excellent. The narration is not good.

Catastrophe Laden Tale

Predictable story but engaging. Frankly too many, seemingly never ending obstacles for the characters to overcome. So going for poignant. The narration for the first few chapters was delivered in a staccato way which was a bit distracting. Although the narrator is an accomplished actor, it took too many chapters in before the delivery seemed less “acted” and more presentation of the story. However I did finish the book and enjoyed the results.

suspenseful!

This was such a a good book! I just finished it. j have read other books by this author and they were good also. The narrator was very good too. I could hardly put it down. I highly recommend this one.
