Book Description:
A catastrophic, unexplainable plane crash leaves three hundred and thirty dead -- no survivors. Among the victims are the wife and two daughters of Joe Carpenter, a Los Angeles Post crime reporter.
A year after the crash, still gripped by an almost paralyzing grief, Joe encounters a woman named Rose, who claims to have survived the crash. She holds out the possibility of a secret that will bring Joe peace of mind. But before he can ask any questions, she slips away.
Driven now by rage (have the authorities withheld information?) and a hope almost as unbearable as his grief (if there is one survivor, are there others?), Joe sets out to find the mysterious woman. His search immediately leads him into the path of a powerful and shadowy organization hell-bent on stopping Rose before she can reveal what she knows about the crash.
Sole Survivor unfolds at a heart-stopping pace, as a desperate chase and a shattering emotional odyssey lead Joe to a truth that will force him to reassess everything he thought he knew about life and death -- a truth that, given the chance, will rock the world and redefine the destiny of humanity.
From the Trade Paperback edition.

First Koontz book I read and I was hooked! Not all are this good, but Koonts is great!

As a huge Dean Koontz fan, I loved this book. The story follows a man who loses his family in a plane crash that killed everyone on board. The man later finds out there is a sole survivor, who has many secrets she is keeping. This book has the usual heavy character development found in Koontz's novels. A very good book.

Not sure how to describe the book without telling all the secrets of it. A thriller and will keep you on the edge... 5 sars from me...

Like other Koontz books, I found the characters likable and well-developed and liked the suspense. The one drawback was an ending that felt a bit rushed, jumping from an edge-of-your-seat chase to a peaceful epilogue.

If you are a Stephen King fan, and haven't read Dean Koontz, you owe it to yourself to discover his writing!
