A catastrophic, unexplained plane crash leaves three hundred and thirty dead. Among the victims are the wife and two daughters of Joe Carpenter. A year after the crash, 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 and a hope almost as unbearable as his grief, Joe sets out to find the mysterious woman. His search immediately leads him into the path of a powerful organization. He is 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 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.
