Drowning

T. J. Newman, a former flight attendant who is now a New York Times bestselling author, returns with her second book, an exciting thriller about a commercial jetliner that crashes into the ocean, sinks to the bottom with passengers trapped inside, and the incredible rescue effort to save them. Her first book, Falling, became an instant #1 national bestseller and the biggest thriller debut of 2021.

The flight 1421 crashes into the Pacific Ocean six minutes after takeoff. An engine blows apart and the aircraft floods during the evacuation. The doors must be closed by those who are still living, but it's too late. Twelve people are trapped aboard the aircraft as it descends to the bottom.

Engineer Will Kent and his eleven-year-old daughter Shannon are struggling for their life more than two hundred feet below the surface.

Shannon's mother and Will's soon-to-be ex-wife, professional diver Chris Kent, leads an elite rescue team on the surface that is their only chance of survival. Chris and Shannon must collaborate to find a way to save their daughter and save the passengers from the sealed airplane that is now perilously close to an underwater cliff.

Not much time remains.

The air is significantly thinner.

Drowning is a gripping thriller about a family's desperate attempt to rescue themselves and the individuals imprisoned with them—against insurmountable odds—that has terrible emotional impact and heart-stopping suspense.
