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.

      Unexplained suicides follow an inexplicable plane crash. Until the deaths are explained near the story's end, they prove especially chilling in light of the events of the Heaven's Gate cult. David Birney's portrayal of Joe Carpenter resonates with Carpenter's anguish over the death of his wife and daughters in the crash. At the same time, his anger and determination to solve the mystery balance his ever-present grief. Birney's years in the theater serve him well. Driving listeners will also appreciate the packaging, which provides easy, logical access to the cassettes, even in the dark. So what really did happen to Flight 800? R.P.L.

      David Birney proves his skill as a narrator in his portrayal of Joe, an LA reporter who experiences paralyzing grief at the death of his wife and two daughters in a plane crash. Further, Birney's range is impressive as he portrays the innumerable secondary characters whom Joe encounters as he searches for answers concerning the crash. The pace of Joe's emotional odyssey is relentless as he discovers the truth surrounding the tragedy, including a rash of suicides among the relatives of crash victims. As Birney keeps the reader grounded, his clear voice projects intense emotion and compelling suspense. S.C.A. (c) AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine
