Publisher's Summary
Number one best-selling author Stephen King's unforgettable novella - first included in his 1990 award-winning collection Four Past Midnight and made into a highly acclaimed miniseries - about a terrifying plane ride into a most unfriendly sky is now available as a stand-alone publication.
The flight attendants were gone; almost all the passengers were gone; Brian Engle was willing to bet the 767's two-man cockpit crew was also gone. He believed Flight 29 was heading east on automatic pilot.
On a red-eye flight from LA to Boston, 10 passengers wake up to discover everyone else has disappeared. Brian Engle, a trained pilot, remembers something about a strange aurora borealis and turbulence reports over the desert. Now he has to try to land the plane.
But the safe haven of Bangor airport is not what it seems. It's eerily empty. The clocks have stopped. The food and drink is tasteless. The fuel doesn't burn. And the sound, like 'radio static', is getting closer. Craig Toomy, an investment banker, believes he knows what's coming. The Langoliers. Which means time is, quite literally, running out....
A spine-tingling, propulsive novella, The Langoliers is a brilliant listen from the masterful Stephen King.

Willem Dafoe did an amazing job of narrating a story I love.
Character narration was great. Music added to the suspense.

Usual King brilliance but ditch the music.
Fantastic story by King but as much as I love Willem Dafoe as an actor, his accents were terrible (was Nick Hopewell English or Australian, Dafoe couldn't decide) and his female voices made me cringe. His occasional strange pronunciations threw me off as well (saying gas as garse wtf?)
And no listener ever has thought "you know what's missing from this book? Cheesy background music".
Other than that, the actual story is enjoyable.

STOP WITH THE MUSIC
Great story! Loved Dafoe’s reading but not the accents. Just read it Big Willy. Also, whoever said adding background music to an audiobook was a good idea should be jailed. It’s a crime.

Missing Chapter
Most of chapter 6 is missing it runs for 6-7 minutes then jumps to chapter 7 and it's not even the beginning of chapter 7
