T. J. Newman seems to have found her niche with pure action novels about airplane crews. Although she doesn't leave much room for character development, I love how well she sprinkles in information about the duties of a flight crew during a disaster into his gripping reads. Although having the estranged spouses on both sides of the rescue was far-fetched and cliffhanger chapter endings are rather cliche, Drowning is such a page-turning shot of adrenaline that is so satisfying to read. I highly suspect Newman's novels will eventually be adapted to film.
