Project PL8
Dr. Michael Lowe, a nuclear engineer and former manager of the Three Mile Island nuclear generating station, has always considered the near catastrophic meltdown a personal failure. So when his superiors offer him an unusually large financial package to supervise the rebuilding of the nuclear plant, he convinces his wife to forestall their retirement and pick up where they left off many years earlier in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
But soon after the Lowes’ return, a radiation biologist who has also been added to the TMI staff begins to voice grave concerns about what is really going on under the guise of reconstructing the plant. Michael chooses to ignore what he considers the paranoid ranting of a young, inexperienced biologist and continues with the operation.
Only after the sudden deaths of several local residents are blamed on a mysterious outbreak of rabies, then the horribly disfigured body of a former employee is discovered in a local marsh, and finally the introduction of military security at the plant, does Lowe begin to confront his potentially fatal mistake.
Then it quickly becomes a race against time to stop a biological nightmare of catastrophic proportions.

I'm just waiting for the movie to come out...or a prequel, or a sequel! Project PL8 is a great book that will make you question everything that the government doesn't tell us. Dan Murphy's Dr. Lowe is a convincing and very human character that the reader will develop a relationship with after each page, and left wanting more when it's over. Great read!

This was a very scary read that never stops right up to the shocking and unexpected ending. The story was suspenseful and I think what I liked the most is there was no 'filler' in this story--everything relevant to the overall plot. You can see my full review on Amazon books. Definitely a MUST READ
