Drowning
ByPublisher Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE * “Reads like Apollo 13 underwater.” —Don Winslow * “Electrifying.” —Los Angeles Times * “A stunningly vivid tour de force! Gripping. Shocking.” —Brad Thor
A “masterful” (Patricia Cornwell) 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.
An unforgettable thriller about a family’s desperate fight to save themselves and the people trapped with them—against impossible odds—Drowning is “a thriller to the core, one that readers will want to finish in a single sitting” (The Washington Post).

“TJ Newman needs to write more books. The reason this is rated “confusing” is because the last 10% of the book is a roller coaster of emotions of opposite spectrums. I want to be happy but I’m devastated.
This book gripped me just as the first did. It’s amazing to reflect back and know that this ~300 page book takes place across like 5 hours. The multi-perspectives are flawlessly flowing and the emotions of every character are felt. You are there with all of them living this experience with them. I truly think her book concepts are so creative and so easy to get sucked into. I have so many thoughts but am speechless to words. Truly some of my best reads and recommendations. TJ Newman knows how to encapsulate humanity.”
