    About this audiobook

    #1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER * NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
    “Terrifying…buckle up for a chilling summer read.” —People (Best Books of the Week)
    “The perfect thriller! A must-read.” —Gillian Flynn
    “Stunning and relentless. This is Jaws at 35,000 feet.” —Don Winslow

    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.

    Editor's Note

    ‘Jaws’ at 35,000 feet’…

    Coastal Airlines flight 416 is a pretty routine run from LA to New York, except that someone has kidnapped the pilot’s family and is threatening to murder them unless the pilot crashes the plane, killing everyone on board. Don Winslow calls this pulse-pounding debut thriller by former flight attendant T.J. Newman “‘Jaws’ at 35,000 feet.”

      Falling is a fun fast-paced thriller, brilliant read by Steven Weber. It is absurd and I guess that's what makes it work. If you are looking for a book to engross you, this should be added to your TBR pile of books, its really silly and a lot of fun.

      I listened for 8 straight hours. Could not stop. Voices were all believable and expressions were not exaggerated.

      Never written a review before but felt compelled to after this book. Great book, great plot, but HATED the fact that one of the more prominent characters was named "Big Daddy". Cringed every time I heard him called Big Daddy or "Daddy" ?

      Great book other than that ??

      It's obvious that the author (who is a flight attendant) feels the need to justify her job to her readers. She goes into a soliloquy of all the training that flight attendants have to do in order to become eligible to fly. And then to have the flight attendant Save the Day oh, it's just a little too much. I'm sorry you feel this way about your chosen career.

      Ending was flat for me but the story was very captivating

      Outstanding! Grabs you from the very first pages. Totally recommend!
    • 4/5
      A very action-packed read. What seems to start off as a normal day for one piolet turns into a nightmare when he is told to make a choice. Crash the plan or kill your wife and kids. Now, he must make his choice. His crew has his back, or are they part of the plan?
    • 4/5
      Well written book, great narration, exciting and yet plausible! I'd recommend as a beach or vacation read (but not if you travel by plane ;-/ )

      3.25 stopped reading this a while ago but always wanted to come back to it. It was more thrilling the first time. Starting it over, not so much. But that makes sense. I have some critique but it was alright. Suspenseful at first. So it’ll be good for first time readers I think.

      Falling starts with a bang and just keeps on going. I listened to it in one sitting.

      Couldn’t put it down. Great read. I will find this author again, and the reader.
    • 2/5
      It is definitely mostly driven off of hype. Starts with a decent premise but turns into the same tired tropes. The character development is bad (I could not care less about any of the characters), the twists were very foreseeable and the sympathizing left an extraordinarily bad taste. Would not recommend to anyone.
    • 5/5
      Insanely good! I couldn’t stop listening. Amazing plot with great character development. Brought chills to my neck during the gripping moments as if I were there, on that plane or watching the live news! Awesome awesome awesome job T.J.! Keep em comin’

      I listened to this recently on a flight from Atlanta to LAX. I was toward the end but stopped because of th turbulence on the flight. I LOVED the descriptions of all the LA streets and surrounding areas. This made me visualize with the characters. Can't wait for the movie!!!

      A load of hyped tripe. Badly written and one big predictable cliche. Avoid.

      Well paced and VERY entertaining! Well done, Ms Newman, well done!

      First, kudos as always to Steven Weber. He is not only one of my favorite actors but this is the second audiobook I had the pleasure of his fantastic narration. I need to look for more audiobooks he has narrated. Keep up the great work Mr. Weber you rock! Secondly, this book is fast paced, action packed, thriller fun! My only complaint is I thought perhaps there was the usual hating on Trump which I am really tired of as a plot device in new novels. Get over it people he is not president and now we are stuck with .... well... you know the thing. I picture a movie with Angela Basset as Jo and Aaron Eckhart as Bill. I hope this gets made into a movie because I love action movies. Great work by a new author.

      I thought this story would make me more fearful of flying, but in fact it did just the opposite. I feel more confident about flying and in the capabilities of the crew! Great story!! It made me cry at the end!
    • 5/5
      A big fan of this author already! There is energy and suspense right out of the gate… and never a dull moment. Her next book.. Drowning … may be even better than this one. Keep ‘em coming!

      OMG! Non Stop Action! Couldn't wait to know the ending.
    • 5/5
      Good read. I totally loved that the hero was the FA and how FA’s were portrayed rather than the usual pilot is super human super hero. It was exciting and fun even if there were a few holes in believability. But that was easy to get past, it is fiction after all.
