Drowning (Large Print / Hardcover)
Staff Reviews
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. T.J. Newman delivers not only an intense pressure driven story but also well-developed characters as well. I became so involved with the twelve diverse survivors, I found myself yelling, crying and holding my breath during the tense action along with them. A breathtaking, edge of your seat thriller, prepare for a late night/early morning with this gripping, claustrophobic, page- turner!

“This book should come with its own oxygen mask. Numerous times I had to remind myself to keep breathing as I raced through the heart-pounding pages. No one does suspense like T. J. Newman and Drowning makes this a fact.”
