Publisher's Summary

En route to London from New York, Flight 305 suddenly loses power and crash-lands in the English countryside, plunging a group of strangers into a mysterious adventure that will have repercussions for all of humankind.

Struggling to stay alive, the survivors soon realize that the world they've crashed in is very different from the one they left. But where are they? Why are they here? And how will they get back home?

Five passengers seem to hold clues about what's really going on: writer Harper Lane, venture capitalist Nick Stone, German genetic researcher Sabrina Schröder, computer scientist Yul Tan, and Grayson Shaw - the son of a billionaire philanthropist.

As more facts about the crash emerge, it becomes clear that some in this group know more than they're letting on - answers that will lead Harper and Nick to uncover a far-reaching conspiracy involving their own lives. As they begin to piece together the truth, they discover they have the power to change the future and the past - to save our world...or end it.

What the critics say

"Well-constructed and tightly-wound as a fine Swiss watch, Departure has non-stop action, an engaging plot and, of course, wheels within wheels." (Diana Gabaldon, author of the Outlander series)

my comments on the story

I liked it very much kept me engaged. story was intriguing and I'm I wish I could write like that I can't write with a crap but I got some really good ideas I just don't know how to articulate it. I got some real weird things going on in my head sometimes good ones though not evil

What a great ride!

I'm a fan of his imagination and writing style. Complex ideas but written in a way to keep the action moving and the story is complete.

Interesting story

For the most part, this was a pleasant listen. I enjoyed the characters and I found the storyline completely easy to follow. Now I’m looking to see if there is a sequel. That’s always a good sign. 😁

GREAT START

Excellent story that kept me very interested for about three quarters of the book. Then it was a bit boring for awhile before I started to lose interest in their love life or dating short falls Then it was over and I was glad.

Awesome!

Totally enjoyed both the story and narrators! Really good drama, with some conflict and a little pinch of love. I think it may appeal to women more than men, but I could be wrong. #Audible1

Choose Something Else

Very mediocre. There are better listens out there. Skip this one. The characters were unbelievable and you need strong, plausible characters when you are dealing with such a far fetched sci-fi story.
