Summary
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.

Sublimely subpar. So boring can't finish.
Everything about this book feels like regurgitated subpar content from more glorious and exciting stories. I am returning this one. Reason? Painful way to spend your time.

Cracking book
Had me gripped in the 1st few chapters which are short and snappy making the whole book easily digestible. Very imaginative story which kept me hooked throughout.

Not the flight I was expecting
I have enjoyed all his work so far. I listen to be entertained and he always delivers. Characters may not be as deep and unexpected as Game of Thrones but they carry enough weight to tell the story. This one was unexpected and a good yarn.

Weak ending
Loved the idea of the story, but the ending was weak and boring. Really liked the story up to the last two hours.

Didn't Quite Deliver, prepared to listen again
What made the experience of listening to Departure the most enjoyable?
Excellent narration, brought depth to the characters
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
Everything up to the encounter with their virtual others. Got a bit silly then, particularly has the 'OK Coral' shoot out involved so few people
Which scene did you most enjoy?
The rescue mission on the aircraft, very dramatic.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No
Any additional comments?
It might be your thing, sc-fi normally works for me, but I was a tad disappointed at the conclusion.

Hooked from the start!
Loved it! It tok a bit of a weird turn, but with in sensible limits. First I thought it might be a book that inspired the tv series LOST, but apparently it wasn't. Completed it in 2 days and would like to read more from the author!
