Meltdown is the gripping opening novel in an ambitious disaster series by award-winning author Anders Totland. Blending the emotional intensity of The Last of Us with the chilling realism of Leave the World Behind, it is a high-stakes thriller about the day the world changes forever.
In the not-too-distant future:
One ordinary autumn afternoon, Marco, Mille and Takashi are filming reckless stunts, doing what ordinary teenagers do. By nightfall, the world they know no longer exists.
Bergen—a city nestled between mountains and the fjords on Norway’s west coast—has always seemed like one of the last safe places in an increasingly unstable world. But when nuclear missiles begin striking cities across the globe, that illusion shatters. Tehran is hit first. Then Tokyo. Then Oslo.
Forced to leave everything behind, Marco and his friends set out on a perilous journey where survival is only the beginning.
