Flight attendant turned New York Times bestselling author T. J. Newman - whose first book Falling was an instant international bestseller and the biggest thriller debut of 2021 - returns for her second book, an edge-of-your-seat thriller about a commercial jetliner that crashes into the ocean, and sinks to the bottom with passengers trapped inside, and the extraordinary rescue operation to save them.
Six minutes after takeoff, Flight 1421 crashes into the Pacific Ocean. During the evacuation, an engine explodes and the plane is flooded. Those still alive are forced to close the doors—but it's too late. The plane sinks to the bottom with twelve passengers trapped inside.
More than two hundred feet below the surface, engineer Will Kent and his eleven-year-old daughter Shannon are waist-deep in water and fighting for their lives.
Their only chance at survival is an elite rescue team on the surface led by professional diver Chris Kent - Shannon's mother and Will's soon-to-be ex-wife - who must work together with Will to find a way to save their daughter and rescue the passengers from the sealed airplane, which is now teetering on the edge of an undersea cliff.
There's not much time.
There's even less air.
With devastating emotional power and heart-stopping suspense, Drowning is an unforgettable thriller about a family's desperate fight to save themselves and the people trapped with them - against impossible odds.
Praise for Drowning:

'Drowning is pure adrenaline and all heart. Gripping, relentless, effortlessly assured, T. J. Newman's thriller is tense and moving. You'll be grabbed from page one as the crew and passengers of a downed airliner fight for survival and rescuers race to reach them. Drowning is an incredible ride - strap in, brace, and remember to breathe' Meg Gardiner, #1 New York Times bestselling author

      Narrators Steven Weber and Laura Benanti keep the adrenaline flowing in this thriller about a plane that crashes in the Pacific six minutes after its takeoff from Hawaii. Weber, who assumes the role of passenger Will Kent, among others, carries the tense opening chapters, in which passengers must decide whether to abandon the aircraft and hope they can stay alive in the ocean--or stay onboard until they're rescued. Will's wife, Chris, portrayed by Benanti, is at the command center, trying to navigate between the warring rescue teams. Will and Chris's family history plays a big role in this pulse-pounding story. Each narrator imparts an impressive amount of engineering information while keeping the plot and characters foremost in listeners' minds. The result is an immersive experience in which life and death hang in the balance. L.W.S. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine
