Samuel Carver is a man trained to make bad things happen–a car crash, an explosion in an apartment building, a downed jet plane–and always seemingly by accident. But now Samuel Carver is no longer that man; he may, in fact, not even be Samuel Carver. Lying in a remote sanitarium, he is only a man who exists, broken and damaged, in the world of his haunted past. But when his devoted lover, the Russian spy Alix Petrova, is forced leave Carver for the dark world of her former employers, Carver begins to emerge, shockingly and violently, as his former self.
Carver’s escape from the hospital, along with Alix’s dangerous new mission, coincide with a Texas billionaire’s messianic dreams and a global plot to control missing Russian suitcase nukes. Populated by a brilliant cast of schemers, fanatics, and broken souls, No Survivors is author Tom Cain’s deft and pulse-pounding return to a world where men and women bargain over their lives and others’ and where the consequences are felt by all.

      Set in 1998, Cain’s solid sequel to his debut, The Accident Man
      (2008), finds assassin Samuel Carver recovering in a private Swiss hospital from being brutally tortured. Unable to remember who he is or what he’s done in the past, he’s being cared for by his girlfriend, Alix Petrova, a former Russian spy. Meanwhile, oilman Waylon McCabe, who’s dying of cancer, decides he must bring on nuclear Armageddon so he can ascend to heaven in the Rapture. Lt. Gen. Kurt Vermulen has been trying to alert the U.S. government to the dangers of a small terrorist group known as al Qaeda, but no one will listen except the evil McCabe, who soon has the gullible Vermulen attempting to snag one of about a hundred suitcase nukes the Russians have secreted around the world. Eventually, Carver comes to his senses and sets out to find Alix, who’s left his bedside on her old bosses’ orders to seduce Vermulen. Most thriller fans will enjoy this roller-coaster action adventure ride.

      The story begins with a whirlwind of characters and incidents with little regard for their relationships. But slowly, carefully, they come together, and the story builds to a crescendo of complex emotions, action, and adventure. Narrator John Lee's British accent lends an air of realism to the story of a tortured espionage agent who rouses from a coma to rescue the woman he loves, only to discover her apparent betrayal. Lee delivers the accents of a repressed Russian spy, a Texas religious fanatic, and a Rhodesian mercenary, among others, making immersion into this novel a delight for the listener. Author Tom Cain spares no quarter in painting his hero's complicated psyche as he tries to rescue the woman he loves and save the world. M.S. (c) AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine

      John Lee brings a strong sense of character and place to Cain's sequel to his acclaimed 2008 thriller, The Accident Man
      . In this installment, assassin Samuel Carver is in a sanitarium, having suffered life-threatening injuries while saving his girlfriend, former Russian agent Alix Petrova, from her former handlers. Nearly catatonic and amnesiac, Carver uses his considerable deadly talents in his quest to find Alix, who has gone missing. Along the way they become entangled with Soviet mobsters, a billionaire Texan zealot, nuclear weapons and possibly Armageddon itself. Lee's dignified English accent fits this international thriller perfectly. His narration is confident and assured and hits all the right notes, whether presenting a car chase, a pitched gun battle or a tender love scene. Moving swiftly between multiple characters and locales, Lee keeps the listener immersed and enthralled in a dizzying world of action and danger. A Viking hardcover (Reviews, Jan. 5).
