About this listen

‘Amazing . . . Intense suspense, shocks and scares plus chilling insider authenticity make this one very special’ LEE CHILD
'FALLING is the best kind of thriller (for me as a reader anyway). Characters you care deeply about. Nonstop, totally authentic suspense' JAMES PATTERSON

‘Attention, please: T. J. Newman has written the perfect thriller! GILLIAN FLYNN, #1 bestselling author of Gone Girl

You just boarded a flight to New York.

There are one hundred and forty-three other passengers onboard.

What you don’t know is that thirty minutes before the flight your pilot’s family was kidnapped.

For his family to live, everyone on your plane must die.

The only way the family will survive is if the pilot follows his orders and crashes the plane.

Enjoy the flight.

I really enjoyed this though it felt like it was dragging for the last couple of hours. I was ready for it to be over.

I did get mixed up with the characters, there was a lot to keep track of. the pilot and his family, the air stewards, the fbi lads, the terrorists. I was constantly mixing people up and trying to recall who was who.

the main character (pilot) and his wife were instantly likeable and I rooted for them the whole way through.

good story good performance

Really don't bother. If you imagine a cliche it's in there. Totally saccharin and extremely predictable.

Cheesy American drivel

Within minutes you are launched in to a tense gripping story. It's slick and efficient with narration that conveys the pace and atmosphere of the situation. Brilliant

I really enjoyed this, it was a great thriller almost from the get go. The narrator didn't seem suited though, I'm used to more dynamic narration. Considering done of the scenes, the reading stated fairly flat and I think more contrast in speed and enthusiasm would have made it stand out.
The story is really good. It's clear that the author has her experience as a flight attendant and I think she was able to tell this story in a way that someone without her experience couldn't have done, it really adds a depth to it.
I look forward to seeing what she writes next

Great thrill ride

As a team the author and narrator conveyed excellently the suspense, intrigue, betrayal and highly-strung emotions of this story.
Well worth spending a credit on in my opinion.

Suspenseful
