Coastal Airways Flight 416, scheduled for Los Angeles to New York, carries one hundred and fifty people. During takeoff, captain Bill Hoffman learns that his entire family has been kidnapped by a terrorist who has set simple terms: either Bill crashes the plane, or his family will be killed. The flight crew has just hours to prevent disaster—and no guarantee of success.

Former flight attendant T.J. Newman worked for American Airlines for ten years. She wrote the first drafts of her debut novel, 'Falling,' on napkins during overnight flights while passengers slept, and made the final edits during the coronavirus pandemic, when planes grounded. Her fast-paced techno-thriller combines a genuine love of aviation with the ability to keep the reader on the edge of their seats every minute.
