Disaster

When a passenger plane with three hundred people on board plummets from an altitude of eleven kilometres and crashes into a nuclear power plant after the pilot suffers a medical emergency, the remote Minnesota town of Waketa becomes the epicentre of a national crisis that could end in a catastrophe of global proportions.

The International Nuclear and Radiological Event Scale has seven levels for rating the severity of nuclear events. In the past, only two events have been recorded at level 7, a major accident: Fukushima and Chernobyl. A level 8 has never occurred.

Until now.

In this nerve-shredding thriller, ordinary people – power plant workers, firefighters, teachers, and their relatives, neighbours, and friends – face a situation where not only the fate of Waketa is at stake, but that of the entire planet. Will a handful of brave souls find enough courage, ingenuity, and determination to overcome this ultimate test?

The author of the novels Ultimatum and Havárie returns with her third book, and this time, her beloved aviation setting serves only as a springboard for a much more thrilling story, where the real danger only begins with the crash.
