Every summer thousands of families head to the nation’s largest water park, famous for its 21-story waterslide, the Dead Drop. This year one visitor didn’t pack his bathing suit. He packed explosives. When the bomb goes off, dozens of people are instantly killed. The rest are herded into the park’s massive pool by the bomber’s accomplices.

I like the main characters and their family lives. Tell me more.

Quinn isn’t armed for once; Thibodaux has a small gun he calls his “gun-gettin’ gun”. A sense of humor is important when you have to save thousands of people without weapons or intelligence or communication. Just…
