MELTDOWN

Someday—maybe quite soon—the terrifying contents of this book—could really happen...

At the Sand Beach nuclear power-plant, head physicist Paul Hanson suspects that the supposedly fail-safe reactor system has a built-in flaw that could trigger off an 'accidental' atomic explosion. Torn between professional loyalty and the safety of thousands, Hanson realizes that the cost of rectifying this lethal defect could mean commercial suicide for his company. But what neither Hanson nor his superiors know, is that one revenge-obsessed man with access to the reactor's heart has lunatic design of his own which—if not discovered in time—will wreak the worst human devastation the world has seen since Hiroshima...

Compelling, shocking and totally plausible, Meltdown is a novel of high-voltage drama that reads like a blueprint for tomorrow's potential disaster...
