Flight attendant turned New York Times bestselling author T. J. Newmanâs adrenaline-fueled thriller about a commercial jetliner that crashes into the ocean and sinks to the bottom with passengers trapped insideâand 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 doorsâbut itâs too late. The plane sinks to the bottom with twelve passengers trapped inside.

Their only chance at survival is an elite rescue team on the surface led by professional diver Chris KentâShannonâs mother and Willâs soon-to-be ex-wifeâwho 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.
Thereâs not much time. Thereâs even less air.
With devastating emotional power and heart-stopping suspense, Drowning is an unforgettable thriller about a familyâs desperate fight to save themselves and the people trapped with themâagainst impossible odds.
