Reviews
"Falling is the best kind of thriller (for me as a reader anyway). Characters you care deeply about. Nonstop, totally authentic suspense."--James Patterson, #1 New York Times bestselling author
"Attention, please: T. J. Newman has written the perfect thriller! Such a cool, high-concept idea: commercial airline pilot forced to make the ultimate life-or-death choice. Newman's background in the air grounds the story in reality, while her writing amps up the suspense to unbearable levels. Terrific and terrifying, a true page-turner. A must-read for summer vacation--but my advice is, don't start this book until you've gotten off the plane."--Gillian Flynn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Gone Girl

"[Newman] sets herself apart by giving notable weight and color to the human-scale dramas. She doesn't skimp when it comes to action, either, resulting in a rip-roaring adventure that's anchored in palpable emotion. This should satisfy the author's fans and win her new ones."--Publishers Weekly
