Newman—whose first book Falling was an instant bestseller, an international sensation translated into 30 languages, and the biggest thriller debut of 2021—returns for her second book, which 'reads like Apollo 13 underwater' (Don Winslow).
Six minutes after Flight 1421 takes off, it crashes into the ocean.
The passengers who survive the crash think it's a miracle.
They believe they're the lucky ones.
Then the plane begins to sink to the ocean floor.
The survivors are trapped inside.
Against all odds, a massive rescue operation is launched to save them.

Newman gives us another reason to stay firmly on the ground! Her experience as flight crew again brings us a fast, thrilling ride that kept me turning pages and holding my breath (along with the characters) in this latest book.
