A-Train — Roger Williams

What happens when a nuclear train goes off the rails?
Every year tons of nuclear waste move across Britain by rail. The specially constructed flasks that contain the radioactive material can withstand every foreseeable shock or collision, so the authorities tell us. There is no risk. There is no cause for concern. But not every possibility can be foreseen. Security leaks, bad planning, accidents, sabotage, human error: these can combine in catastrophic coincidence. What would happen if something went wrong? Really wrong? A-Train is a chilling novel that confronts that ultimate possibility.
