The Last Reactor

America’s recovery depends on its restored nuclear plants. When a catastrophic failure destroys Unit 2 at Susquehanna and releases radiation beyond the site, investigators uncover signs of sabotage. Components from the same contractor network have also been installed at Limerick Generating Station, near Philadelphia.

Then Washington receives an ultimatum: deliver four imprisoned Directorate leaders, or face another disaster. Michael has forty-eight hours to find Elias Voron, the missing engineer who designed the Gray Key—a sequence that may allow the threatened plant to be saved. As the deadline approaches, even an attempted shutdown could carry catastrophic consequences. The Last Reactor is a standalone novel set in the world of Day Zero.
