T.J. Newman has done it again with her novel Drowning - The Rescue of Flight 1421 (#1,182). I am glad that it's going to be several months before I have to fly over water again after reading this one! Mere minutes after taking off from Honolulu, Flight 1421 suffers a catastrophic failure and is forced to ditch the plane in the water.
The point of view changes from one survivor to another as the reality of the crash sets in. The actions they take in the immediate aftermath will determine whether they live or die. But just when you think they might be all right, something else happens to lessen their chances.
Their experience makes for harrowing, but page-turning reading. Just don't take it with you on your own flight!
