About this listen
En route to London from New York, Flight 305 suddenly loses power and crash-lands in the English countryside, plunging a group of strangers into a mysterious adventure that will have repercussions for all of humankind.
Struggling to stay alive, the survivors soon realize that the world they've crashed in is very different from the one they left. But where are they? Why are they here? And how will they get back home?
Five passengers seem to hold clues about what's really going on: writer Harper Lane, venture capitalist Nick Stone, German genetic researcher Sabrina Schröder, computer scientist Yul Tan, and Grayson Shaw - the son of a billionaire philanthropist.
As more facts about the crash emerge, it becomes clear that some in this group know more than they're letting on - answers that will lead Harper and Nick to uncover a far-reaching conspiracy involving their own lives. As they begin to piece together the truth, they discover they have the power to change the future and the past - to save our world...or end it.

What did you like most about Departure?
Great plot! I found this to be a really engaging story - mainly because for the first hour or two, I had no idea what was going on or where the book eas heading. This in turn made me want to listen more and more - totally gripped me!What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?
I like the fact that there were 2 narrators. One male and one female for the two main characters and overall, I gave the narration 3 out of 5 - mainly because of Nicola Barber...She has a tendancy to be quite nasal and this did get a little annoying at times! Perhaps she had a cold whilst reading, but it did grate on me.
I disliked the "english" accent of Scott Aiello. He is American (possible canadian?) and his accent was a little to much Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins for me!
With exception of the "English" accent, I actually liked Scott as a reader. I will certainly look for more by him.
Any additional comments?
This book is "sci-fi meets Lost meets a love story meets thriller". Good stuff!! Would like to read more from this author.More of a YA book than adult.

More disappointing was the lazy narration, where the main English character speaks American English.
No English person says 'Levver' instead of 'Leever'. One of many examples, serving as an irritating distraction from the story.
Surely the American audience can work out what is an aeroplane.
A bit disappointing
