The title “Sole Survivor” doesn’t only point at this woman, but also at Joe himself. He’s the one left behind, the only one of his family still alive. The book is about loss, about grieving, accepting death, and about faith, believing that the human soul doesn’t just vanish into nothingness when shed of its mortal coils.

All this makes it quite heavy to swallow. It’s a dark story, a sad story, a
depressing story even. Joe is a man who has basically given up on life and is just waiting to die, too scared to take care of it himself. And if it weren’t for a chance encounter on a public beach at the beginning of the novel, he might have gotten his wish. There’s almost no siganture Koontz humor in this novel. It’s a very serious story.

“Sole Survivor” is mostly a mystery story, a conspiracy story, of the sort where the answers stay away until the final act. When they are delivered, the style changes very much and it’s like we’ve suddenly been transported into a science fiction story. Until we reach that conclusion, however, we’re pulled along with Joe into a very compelling investigation. But Joe isn’t just riding shotgun; he sets things in motion as well, even though he has no clue what’s going on.

Even though the novel features an enigmatic woman, there’s no trace of a love story here. The book vows to transcent material and physical love and instead concentrates on the bigger picture.

While not necessarily religious in nature, it does discuss some of the building blocks of religious groups, combined with some radical sciences – which is in fact the only thing that makes it recognizably a Koontz novel. It’s a first taste of things to come in “From the Corner of His Eye”, but also the Chris Snow books, as if Koontz is testing the waters with some variety of his theories, to see whether his audience is open enough for them.

Plotwise, “Sole Survivor” always reminds me of “The Eyes of Darkness”,
while the ending comes closer to “Dark Rivers of the Heart”. It’s a story that doesn’t really end, because it creates some kind of alternate universe of our world where the villains have become too large to be dismissed.

I remember when I first read this book, I was so totally swept away by the ending, and I was ready to believe in it myself. I didn’t go so far as to actually take snapshots of gravestones, but I think I did stare at a photo of a loved one passed on, somewhat in the same way as I sat at a kitchen table staring at a salt shaker after reading “Strangers” for the first time. Reading the book again now, the impact is gone. Not because I believe less, but because the idea is no longer original, because I’ve encountered it – or a variety of it – in so many other books since.

In the finale, I thought that Joe would reach out for the boy, tell him he cared and wanted to help him, convince him to stop the attack and perhaps break him out of the facility in true “The Eyes of Darkness” style. The ending in the woods also reminded me of this movie “Fallen” with Denzel Washington.

Yet another great Koontz novel. What I like mostly about his writing is that, at the beginning, he introduces the reader to different (and diverse) situations and then throughout the book they are woven together.

This book took a bit of time before I was really hooked, but once I was…I was finished. Though it is pretty long, it didn’t feel so due to Koontz’s detail and imagery. What I liked most about the story came toward the end with the introduction of 21-21; I enjoyed seeing the contrast bet...more

Koontz introduces you to Joe Carpenter, an investigative journalist who is trapped in despair after a commercial plane crash takes his wife and children. It is clear that something is being covered up, but neither you nor Joe have any idea what that is. The book is a roller coaster ride as Joe strives to reveal the facts. What is being covered up about his family’s deaths? Why does it appear that someone is still trying to tie up loose ends? Why are horrifying things happening to some people involved with the crash? And why are absolutely radiating things happening to other people who were involved?

Beyond these factual mysteries, you get the sense that Joe Carpenter is reaching to address deeper questions. The story is permeated with Joe’s despair – the impossible difficulty he finds in living without his wife and children, his deep anger at whoever might have been responsible for their deaths, his shame at the dark parts of his character that are re-emerging during his distress. Some readers feel this makes the book too depressing. Having known people who lost their wives or children unexpectedly, I find it an honest look at how difficult it can be to reconcile that loss with a good life. At unexpected moments Joe glimpses other people who are also missing something in their lives, people who feel that the system has conspired against them and who are stuck in anger because they don’t know how to strike back. He feels empathy for these people, wanting to help them while realizing ironically that he is in a far worse state. I think Koontz is hinting at something to the reader – how much do we want to help Joe, and are we ignoring the place we’re in at the moment?

Koontz is known for his fast-paced action scenes, dramatic suspense, and use of science in what otherwise would fit into the horror or fantasy genre. You will find all of that in this book. But Koontz is also great at getting us inside the minds of characters. Moreso than any other Koontz book I’ve read, Sole Survivor asks us to look into our own lives, and ask – if I were hit by the same things that Joe Carpenter was hit with, would I be able to handle it any better? And if there may be hope for Joe, even with everything he has faced, does that mean that I may be able to find hope as well?(less)

_The Book of Counted Sorrows

I began reading Sole Survivor by Dean Koontz yesterday. A master story-teller indeed; I could not stop reading. The philosophy of the novel seems rather pessimistic(first impression). And who is not pessimistic in this cruel world? I am rather astounded at the total dark tone of the book....

"The gray-green chop seemed to be an infinite array of turning gears in a vast mechanism, and across it, bright silver flickers of sunlight glittered like electric current across a power grid. Waves approached and receded as monotonously as connecting rods pumping back and forth in an engine. The sea was a perpetually laboring machine with no purpose but the continuation of its own existence, romanticized and cherished by countless poets but incapable of knowing human passion, pain and promise."

I know not why I get interested in this narration; maybe because I am a parallel line sharing this pessimistic, atheistic world view.....

But I am mistaken, because the novel, predictably ends with "hope". The character, "Nina" represents the extra human powers and saves the world, and the refrain "and everything goes well with the world". I don't know how far "logic" is important in reading creative fiction, especially fantasies and thrillers. But let me pose this question. In the beginning we were told that there is a kind of power group controlled by Technologics or so who work with the help of military with a sole ambition to control the world. The boy child they have in custody can control anyone and destroy them. Whereas, the girl child can heal any wounds. Here, at the end of the novel, the hero and the child escape from the boy's power... and everything ends well. But such a power which has the help of the commercial as well as governmental power will stop searching for them? If no, at least will they not use the boy's power for some other evil purposes. How the hero and the child save the world? Why didn't the hero searches for them and take revenge upon his family's total destruction. Probably, a simple answer(not that much simple though) would be to claim that the conclusion of the novel is not that of taking revenge, as he understood his family would be there in some other "better world". Even then, it would be of interest to us to know what happens to the evil powers. After all, the story can be treated as "open ended." Ha ha!(less)

Once again, Koontz delivers. (why do I have the distinct feeling that I've said just exactly that before? :D) The story starts out kind of slow but soon picks up speed and before you know it you are on a roller coaster ride of emotional pain, mystery, mortal danger and too many things that Joe finds simply unbelievable. Joe is an angry man, and has been most of his life. What happens to his family simply pushes him over the edge. That is how we find him. You'll become invested in Joe and cheer h...more

I can't quite put my finger on what turned me off to this book. I think it's probably how depressing most of it is. The main character has lost his wife and both his children in a plane crash. This horrible experience is even worse for him because of the fact that he lost all belief in God as a young man. For most of the book, we experience his adventures from the point of view of a grieving husband and father without the comfort of a knowledge of what comes after this life.

Definitely on the short list of Koontz's best work, SOLE SURVIVOR is a wildly entertaining thriller with surprisingly ambitious emotional and spiritual underpinnings. Not only does it contain one of the most powerful hooks I've ever come across, but, in between scenes of grisly murders and exciting chases, Koontz aims to teach readers a little something about life. For a suspense novel, however, it all feels a bit overwritten. Koontz tries to imbibe SOLE SURVIVOR with the trappings of "serious l...more
