Departure

By: A.G. Riddle

Narrated by: Nicola Barber, Scott Aiello

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.

Critic reviews

"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)

A Great Sci-Fi Story With Lots of Twists and Turns

Departure was a very intriguing story with a mysterious plot that had lots of twist and turns and had me on edge and guessing throughout the story. I was unable to stop listening to the story well into the wee hours of the night.

This story was also thought provoking on the chaos that would follow a plan crash if there was no leader or resources to depend on.

My credit was well spent on this story!

Uneven

Started well, good characters quick story, really good narration. The second half in my opinion was much weaker than the first. The ideas are ridiculous, even for someone like me who has no trouble suspending disbelief. And in my mind the final part of the book and the romance final really didn't deliver. In the end fell flat. The performance by both readers is excellent but the book I think is not worth it.

Fantastic thought provoking SciFi adventure

Excellent narration by two speakers, each telling the story from the perspective of the male and female protagonists.

The story itself is fantastic.

most boring ending of any book I've read

the ending killed the book. the pace of the book was fine and there was a clear ending spot. but it just kept going! ruined the whole story.

Good story. Fantastic listen

The book was pretty good well paced overall but a little slow at the beginning and end. The performances were fantastic and really made it a great listen
