Time is running out. It’s now or never in a breathtaking and dangerous race to save the planet. From ourselves.
Reviews
"A captivating and fascinating read! The nuclear history in this novel is real. I know because I worked on nuclear power plants...and knew several of the real-life characters mentioned in the novel. It was fun to read a fictionalized story about nuclear energy that was well-researched, offered a probable plot, and introduced some interesting characters. It also offers visions into the future of nuclear energy. Great story!” -- Dr. John E. Gunning, Bechtel and Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Retired
"Finished reading this work of fiction by Shawn Connors. Enjoyed it immensely. It’s interesting, fun, chock full of science but easy to read, and, most importantly, optimistic. Get yourself a copy!" -- Zion Lights, Nuclear Advocate, Founder of Emergency Reactor
"A fun read, this story also provides a nice peek at some commercial nuclear energy history using an engaging female protagonist and an exciting plot. The book is entertaining, at the very least. Even more, it’s a great representation of how the competence and leadership of female scientists can change the world. Amy Austin for President!" -- Teresa Weinmeister, STEM advocate and nuclear plant instrumentation and control systems marketing manager
“If you want to learn more about nuclear energy and be entertained at the same time, Chain Reaction is the hottest ticket in town.” -- Ryan Pickering, Energy Policy Researcher
