The story

Nick Cromwell is an MIT-trained "Y2K troubleshooter", the son of a NASA problem-solver. As midnight on January 1, 2000 arrives in the Eastern Time Zone and computers shut down because of the bug, the entire Atlantic Seaboard goes dark and Cromwell assists a plane to land in Washington, DC, without runway lights. Word then arrives of a nuclear power plant in Sweden suffering a meltdown and killing all the workers, so he takes a supersonic jet back to his hometown of Seattle to avert disaster at the similar power plant there.
