Summary
#1 New York Times Bestseller
The plane crashed without warning. Three hundred and thirty people died. No explanation. No survivors. Now one man who lost everything that night is about to discover the answers he needs to go on with his life - or the conviction to finally end it.
Crime reporter Joe Carpenter lost his wife and two daughters in the crash of Flight 353. Aching from his loss, Joe is unable to work, think, or do anything but grieve, and wait for his own death. Then Joe meets Rose, a woman who claims to be the crash’s sole survivor. But before Joe can probe further, the elusive Rose slips away and Joe is left with haunting, terrifying questions: If Rose lived through the crash, is it possible his family could have survived it, too? Did the authorities conspire to hide what really happened that night? Joe’s search for the truth will shatter him like nothing has before - and force him to question everything he thinks he knows about life and death.

Fabulous
I really enjoyed this book, although a little wordy, it had the most intriguing story line.

Absolutely Terrible
After 2 hours of listening to a whiney narrator I realised that I got about 10 minutes of a story the rest was just filler.
I then spent the next 8 hours plus hoping the story would improve - it did not. I am an avid reader and listener. This is probably the worst book I have ever had the misfortune to listen to or buy

Probably the worst book from Mr Dean Koontz
I really like books written by Dean Koontz but this one is so poor that I hardly believe that it was written by him! To make things even worse, the narration is horrible.
I still like Mr Koontz's books but after "Sole Survivor" I need a long break, I am afraid.

Excess Baggage
Narrator didn't suit the book; had to slow the narration to 0.9, which deepened his tone a little and lost the gabble.
Published in 1997 (and probably the last time I had a book by this author previously) this book is dated and no surprize it was on the 2 for 1 special offer. No one propositions a 14 yo boy in a beach bathroom (to be a lookout or not) without expecting his collar to be felt or to be blackmailed. Also the suborning of the MC to hook him into the gambit with the beautiful stooge is so obvious. 2 hrs was enough.
DISAPPOINTING

No Thank You
Not my kind of read. I don’t like god stuff. I was tricked in the beginning of this book because the main character is supposedly atheist. Too much religious stuff. Long winded writing throughout, then an abrupt ending. Spoiler: they end up living with a straight up cult. Yuck.

It's ok
Not my favourite Koontz book. The story has the usual elements one would expect but without the suspense and the dramatic conclusion. I got the impression that he ran out of steam towards the middle which was disappointing. I listened to the end waiting for the climax that never came.
The narrator is able enough but I found is voice quite harsh and monotonous at times. Generally okay though and he isn't a deterrent.

Does anyone listen to these recordings to proof?
i am enjoying this book---one of Koontz's best and the narrator is good-ish, BUT HE MISPRONOUNCES EASY WORDS AND IT'S GETTING TO ME!
Every character, even a college educated newspaper reporter and intelligent scientist pronounce libRary as LIBERRY!
Who says that past kindergarten (not kinnygarden).
Producers of these recordings should be more careful---at one point, he said that someone who was driving "barked" instead of "braked."
Sigh

Koontz has an amazing ability to teach in fiction stories
Has always been a fan!
Koontz has not failed in structuring a story which holds your attention in such an amazing way. I cannot think of a single thing which I did not like about this audiobook. The narrators tone of voice aids in those who have a little problem hearing.
This is another really deep and well researched literary masterpiece.

Mixed feelings
I absolutely love Dean Koontz and while this story was very intriguing I felt like the it played out too quickly. It could've been stretched out and made into a 5 star novel. still good though, I don't regret purchasing.

Decent offering from Koontz
This is one of Dean's better reads. The story line is strong and the ending remains obscure till the end but makes sense once revealed.
I liked the characters and their development. Strong performance as well.
Overall good choice.

I have done many audiobooks over the last 10 years. I like Dean Koontz. I have now idea what this book it’s about?
Sone reporter in LA. His family dies in a plane crash. He has a hard time getting over it - understandable. After that the story seems like hours of non sense which is made up and written on the fly. Some type of plasmatic robots are chasing this guy around. The book is illogical, way too complicated blush blah blah.
