    About this ebook

    NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE FROM WARNER BROTHERS PICTURES * “Reads like Apollo 13 underwater.” —Don Winslow * “Masterful.” —Patricia Cornwell * “A stunningly vivid tour de force!” Gripping. Shocking.” —Brad Thor

    Flight attendant turned New York Times bestselling author T. J. Newman’s adrenaline-fueled 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.

      This book makes you think twice about getting on a plane.
    • 5/5
      Okay...so...this novel. I hate this novel. Because I love this novel.Let me explain...I read Newman's first book, Falling, and it was okay. Sometimes I felt it was a bit over the top, but hey, it was a thriller, so that's kind of par for the course, right?So, because I thought that first one was just okay, it took me a bit to pick up this new one. But then I did, and damn, did I love it. Like, WAY more than I should have.It starts with a bang and, with very few moments to catch your breath, pretty much continues like that. Think, in terms of pacing, something like the Armageddon or Con Air movies. Yeah, it starts by slapping you around, and it slaps you around pretty much to the last page, in one way or another. And I mean that in the best way.But here's the thing: I should hate this book because, well, let's be real here, it's totally, absolutely, one hundred percent predictable. I could pretty much, after the first couple of chapters, predict, beat by beat, what kind of major plot points were coming. Absolutely no surprises.Add to that that, like Dorothy in the Emerald Kingdom, I very plainly, very obviously felt T.J. Newman pulling all the levers, yanking all the strings, and twisting all the dials throughout this novel. There were times where I was actually thinking, okay, here comes a sad part, here comes someone dying, here comes the big parent feels.Yup, again, painfully obvious.But, the unexpected part for me, who—as a reader—typically has nothing but disdain for a writer busting out all the obvious tricks, I didn't mind being manipulated through this entire novel. Didn't mind it at all. In fact, I paid for the VIP ticket, I was strapped in and enjoying the ride, from start to finish.Newman is doing nothing new here. This is a similar story to Arthur C. Clarke's 1961 novel, A Fall of Moondust, but set on Earth. This was The Poseidon Adventure, but with wings. This was every 70s disaster flick, from The Towering Inferno, to Earthquake (in Sensurround!). And, as a writer, I saw every trick she used to humanize and tug at our hearts, and I happily let her hook every single one into me.I was so invested, I had to drop everything and just pound through the second half in a single session, just to get to the end.This was a fun ride, and I loved every single second of it.

      Drowning proves conclusively that the success of author T.J. Newman's riveting debut, Falling, was not a fluke. Her sophomore effort, Drowning, is equally terrifying, absorbing, and emotionally satisfying. In fact, her characters and their plights are even more sympathetic, and the story more heartbreaking but, ultimately, life-affirming.Newman considers her post-college stint at Changing Hands bookstore in Tempe, Arizona, her first step toward becoming a bestselling novelist. No one knew that she was laboring as a bookseller by day and writing in her bedroom at night, contemplating how to accomplish her goal of becoming a published writer. At her mother's suggestion, she segued into and loved flying, and her ten-year career as a flight attendant supplied the inspiration for falling.Newman says she knew that the follow-up to her staggeringly successful first novel had to be “bigger. In every aspect, it had to be bigger. Bigger heart, bigger action, bigger stakes.” It is. Searching through her trove of story ideas amassed during her flying days, she recalled yet another red-eye flight from Hawaii to Los Angeles. The flight path from Hawaii to the mainland is the longest in the world with no suitable alternate route. During that flight, she looked out the porthole window in the door of the forward galley “at nothing. There's nothing out there for hours and miles in every direction. It is nothing but a pitch black void. Nothing but water.” She pondered, “What if something happened? What if we went down? How would they find us out here? How would they come get us? How would they save us? How would we save ourselves?” And she is captivated by how ordinary people react when they find themselves in a heightened situation. “I think we all discover parts of ourselves that we didn't now were there when we're in hot water and I'm fascinated by that.”“In aviation, the emergency landing of an aircraft on water is called a ditching,” according to Drowning's brief prologue. Thinking back to that vast nothingness except water, Newman contemplated the worst case scenario: the pilot announces “prepare to ditch” and the plane crashes into the ocean before sinking with passengers and crew members trapped inside. And it comes to rest teetering on the edge of an underwater cliff. From there, Newman “reverse engineered” the story by understanding how that circumstance might actually occur. But found it “really tricky” to figure out how to make the fictional plane crash because, theoretically, the events in the book should not play out due to safety mechanisms and protocols. But her research revealed that they could.So, for instance, a pilot should never have a “dead stick,” meaning no hydraulic fluid and no hydraulic power. Planes have “three hydraulic lines. Two layers of redundancy in case of a system failure.” Those backup systems should ensure that the loss of an engine does not eliminate the pilot's ability to navigate the aircraft and, if necessary, either return to the airport where the flight originated (in this case, Honolulu) or land at an alternate location (which, in Drowning would be either Kahului Airport on Maui or Kona Airport on Hawaii). But because the plane will not continue gaining altitude and the pilot literally cannot turn the plane around, there is only one place for it to land: southwest of Moloka'i in the narrow channel between that small, largely uninhabited island and the nearby island of Lana'i where trade winds blow every day. The shelf is known as Penguin Bank.Newman establishes Flight 1421's predicament in a straight-forward, unembellished style that makes the sheer terror the passengers and crew are experiencing palpable and believable. She demonstrates various characters' response to crisis. For some, their worst traits come to light while others unexpectedly become heroes. Newman wisely recognized that the spectacle of the disaster could not sustain the story unless her readers became invested in the well-being of the twelve people trapped in the plane. So, with the plane sinking to the bottom of the sea and readers fully engrossed in the action, she winds the story back three hours and examines the history of her main characters, engineer Will Kent, his estranged wife Chris, and their eleven-year-old daughter, Shannon. Their oldest daughter, Annie, died tragically six years ago in a maddeningly preventable accident. Losing her has caused her parents, especially Will, to become overprotective of Shannon. For that reason, Will is going to fly with Shannon to San Francisco where she will attend summer camp, and immediately return to Hawaii. Shannon is appropriately mortified. Annie's bedroom has remained as she left it, symbolic of the stasis in her parents' relationship that has led to their pending divorce. They have spent the years since Annie's death wracked with guilt and pain, believing that if “they dealt with their marriage or changed the house or cleaned out Annie's room, they'd be moving forward. Which would mean they'd be leaving Annie behind.”Will and Shannon survive the crash, as does another young girl traveling alone, eight-year-old Maia Taylor. ALong with Will, female pilot Kit shoulders responsibility for ensuring that everyone trapped in the fuselage gets out alive. Through flight attendants Molly and Kaholo Newman again emphasizes that “flight attendants are first and foremost safety and security professionals. Full stop.” An elderly couple traveling together, Ruth and Ira Belkin, and Ryan Wang, whose new bride is killed on impact, are particularly memorable. As the oxygen supply dwindles, Will and Kit take the lead in communicating with military personnel charged with organizing a mass rescue operation (MRO) from the USS Theodore Roosevelt, a 101,000-ton Nimitz-class aircraft carrier. Under normal circumstances, Chris's blatant conflict of interest and lack of objectivity would preclude her from becoming part of the rescue operation. However, Chris and her colleagues are civilian contractors hired to perform routine hull maintenance on the ship. When she learns that Will and Shannon's flight has crashed, she refuses to be sidelined while possible rescue strategies are debated. None of the military personnel have ever undertaken such a rescue operation and Chris possesses invaluable special expertise. No one is more motivated than she to see the MRO succeed. After all, it is her family that is trapped some two hundred feet below the water's surface.Newman notes that one thing the rigorous training provided to flight attendants does not address is how to respond if a plane sinks to the bottom of the ocean with survivors of the crash inside, so she was required to conduct extensive research to make that aspect of the story credible, as well. For one thing, she had to change her mindset because normal aviation protocols are no longer applicable. She says the plane is no longer an aircraft — it has, as a practical matter, been transformed into a “submarine.” Her depiction of the trial-and-error attempts to rescue the trapped survivors is heart-stoppingly tense, fraught with uncertainty, and completely engrossing. Those scenes are indeed emotionally wrenching because Newman has, by that point in the story, deftly convinced readers to care deeply about the survivors' fate.Drowning is a propulsive, unpredictable thriller. Newman's narrative is tautly crafted with no surplusage and moves at a steady pace, with shocking developments delivered at expertly timed junctures that compel the story forward. Newman never loses control of the speed at which the tale unfolds, restraining it from becoming frantic. Rather, critical story developments occur at realistic intervals, giving readers a chance to brace themselves for the next complication, reason to hope, or heartbreaking loss. And, of course, losses are an expected and credible part of the story.Newman made a conscious effort to incorporate more details about the passengers in her second novel than she did in Falling, largely because she realized that most of her readers are actual or potential passengers themselves and, accordingly, put themselves in the characters' places and are most interested in the trajectories of their stories. The approach is highly effective. At its core, though, Drowning is the story of a family. With Will and Shannon in peril, Chris will stop at nothing to save them, including risking her own life. Like Will, she is convinced that she will not survive if Shannon does not. Her feelings for Will are complicated, as are his for her. Like the aircraft's cabin, when the story opens, their marriage is teetering on a cliff and rapidly running out of oxygen. Both characters are fully formed, flawed, and empathetic, and Shannon, who continues to mourn her big sister, is particularly endearing. Newman never allows her story to lapse into melodrama or her characters to become cloying, demonstrating that she is equally adept at creating compelling characters and inventing terrifying situations in which to place those characters.Drowning cements Newman's stance as a first-rate writer. She says she is working on her third novel and her goal is to amp the dramatic tension up even further, which is hard to imagine. Drowning is the best of two genres – a horrifyingly realistic thriller to which anyone who has ever been a passenger in an airplane can readily relate and an emotionally rich exploration of the impact of grief, isolation, guilt, and an inability to effectively communicate on a marriage, a family, and, most importantly, a surviving sibling. It is sure to be on not only every bestseller list, but every list of the best books of 2023.Thanks to NetGalley for an Advance Reader's Copy of the book.

      What Steven Spielberg did for the summer movie blockbuster with Jaws, T. J. Newman has done for the summer book blockbuster. First with Falling and now with her latest book, Drowning.Drowning starts in the middle of the action as an engine explodes on a flight just after takeoff from Hawaii. With dead controls, the plane crashes into the water. The surviving passengers and crew are faced with the choice of escaping into an ocean full of burning jet fuel or staying on board and facing drowning if rescue can't reach them in time. Will Kent is traveling with his 11-year-old daughter and convinces a few of the remaining passengers and crew to stay on board and await rescue. His estranged wife Chris lives nearby and inserts herself into the rescue efforts. The damage done to the plane, its precarious position submerged in the water, a limited supply of oxygen, and challenging weather conditions all add to the ticking-clock elements of this thriller. A massive rescue effort is quickly launched, but there is really no manual for this particular type of accident. The personal tragedy in the lives of Will and Chris that led to their divorce adds even more human pathos to an already gripping story. Pick any superlative you want to use and it will apply to Drowning. Your heart will be in your throat the entire time you are reading this. Newman expertly keeps the action charging forward as she switches between scenes on the crashed plane and with the rescue crew above. Glimpses into the past of Chris and Will manage to squeeze your hearts even further as you learn what brought them each to this point in their lives. The characters sing with authenticity as they race to save as many people as they can. The danger crackles and you will find yourself holding your breath every time you turn a page. From the first line to the last, you will be in thrall to this incredible story. Sign me up for whatever T. J. Newman has up her sleeve next. She's just getting started.I was provided a copy of this book by the publisher.

      I loved Newman’s first novel “Falling,” and, just as with it, “Drowning” kept me on the edge of my seat. It was suspenseful, emotional, thrilling, and fast-paced. I don’t know why, but I am drawn to thrillers set on aircraft and have always loved disaster movies. You can bet I will read any book Newman writes. Flight 1421 has hardly even left Honolulu when an engine explodes, all systems are non-operational, and the aircraft crashes into the Pacific Ocean. Many passengers get out, but the danger that awaits them outside is unexpected and catastrophic. Twelve passengers become trapped inside when the aircraft sinks into the ocean and comes to rest on an unsafe shelf 200 feet below sea level.Engineer Will Kent and his eleven-year-old daughter Shannon are among those trapped in the aircraft. The Navy and Coast Guard have never encountered this rescue scenario. It’s not the same as submarine rescues as there is no docking point on an aircraft. Fortunately, Will’s soon-to-be ex-wife and Shannon’s mother is part of an elite underwater team that can assist with the rescue. But the clock is ticking. The oxygen in the aircraft will soon be depleted. It is a desperate fight for survival. Thus begins an extraordinary rescue operation.This is also a story of the passengers’ determination to survive and the bonds that form among them. Each passenger must dig deep within themselves and show what they are made of. It is in these scenes that Newman writes with such an emotional depth that the reader feels the characters’ emotions and can fully relate with them.Once you read the first chapter of this book, you will find it nearly impossible to put it down. How many of the passengers will survive? And what about the rescuers? How many of them will die in their attempts to save those who are trapped? It will leave you exhausted.

      T.J. Newman's debut novel was a nail biting read that I (and a lot of other people) couldn't put down. I've been eagerly awaiting her second book - Drowning. You always wonder if an author can bring another great read to the table after a best selling first book? Newman does....in spectacular fashion.So, you might be wondering about why the book is called Drowning. Well, it's another book about a plane in trouble, this time having to make a crash landing - on, or should I say in, water.Some make it off the plane, and some don't. Newman gives us a core group of survivors. They're a mixed bunch of personalities, ages, backgrounds and more. One of them is engineer Will Kent - and the second is his young daughter. Can he figure out a way to get out? Or does he have to wait for the government to come up with a solution? Will isn't a patient man - not when lives are at stake. The book is told from two points of view - those up top and those still in the plane. The tension in this book is crazy - almost every chapter ends on a cliffhanger. Newman knows how to write suspense! Her personal bio gives her writing that ring of believability. Why? Well she was a flight attendant for 10 years. See for yourself - read an excerpt of Drowning - The Rescue of Flight 1421. I can see this one as a movie. A film for Falling is already in the works.

      Another fantastic book from T.J. Newman! It keeps you on the edge of your seat from the first page and doesn't let up until the end. Just like Falling, I wouldn't recommend reading this while on an airplane, especially if you are flying from Hawaii! Thatnks to NetGalley for the digital ARC.

      This book grips you from the first page and never lets up!Will and his daughter, Shannon, are on a flight from HI to CA for Shannon's camp trip when the plane crashes 6 minutes after takeoff. What follows is a desperate race for survival. Will, an engineer, bucks with tradition, and tells the passengers to stay on the plane as it sinks, vs. getting off via the slides into the water. Only a few passengers and crew stay with him. On land, a team is assembled to try and rescue the passengers and crew, but realize the situation is more dangerous than expected. The plane is sitting on the edge of a cliff 200' below the surface in the ocean. Will's estranged wife, Chris, a diver, is begging the Navy and Coast Guard to let her try to save her daughter and the others. It is a tense, exciting read. I loved it, and am glad I didn't read it while on a flight!
    • 3/5
      Decent disaster novel.A jet crashes off the coast of Oahu shortly after take-off and ends up in the ocean. Most of the survivors fled the burning plane, but 12 of the passengers were trapped inside as it sank into the depths. A massive rescue operation gets underway, but they are running out of time as the water rises inside the jet and the trapped oxygen is running low. Fortunately (and I really mean completely unrealistically), an elite underwater industrial diving and marine construction team owned by one of the surviving passenger's wives just happens to be right there on the job. Will Kent is in the nearly flooded jet with their daughter, Shannon, and Chris is arguing topside with the Navy and Coast Guard about how to proceed with the rescue. Whose plan will work and who will be saved?This was OK but heavy on the emotional and relationship aspect of the crash calamity. It ends exactly how you expect it will. I liked the technical aspects of the rescue effort, but the characters were written as total stereotypes and the reader reacts to them exactly that way. You may need to suspend quite a bit of disbelief as the disaster drama plays out with all the coincidences in confluence. Also note -- the cover of this novel is nearly the same as the one used for her first book. That's rather weird and surely the designers have a little more imagination than that? Who knows, maybe they did it on purpose.Thank you to NetGalley and Avid Reader Press for this e-book ARC to read and review.
