I've finally come up for air after reading debut novelist T.J. Newman's thriller Falling (#1,039). With 149 souls aboard, Coastal Airways Flight 416 has taken off from LAX on a routine flight to New York's JFK. What Captain Bill Hoffman doesn't find out until after he's airborne is that terrorists have taken his wife and two young children hostage. The terrorists contact him in the cockpit and give him a choice: either crash the plane or his family dies. What follows is a nail-biting ride.
Without giving too much away, the ending is in doubt right up until the end of this tense drama. Which impossible choice will Bill make? Where is he supposed to crash the plane? And what is the mysterious Plan B the terrorists claim to have on board Flight 416?
One final question: has someone optioned this book to be made into a movie? I sure hope so! If thrillers are your thing, don't miss Falling.
