Books with title Sole Survivor

Fey Sikes expected nothing more than boredom on her school trip. Nearly dying in a massive explosion, and having experimental technology implanted throughout her body, were definitely not on the programme! On the road to recovery Fey must fight to regain independence in her own body, while a hidden agency seems determined to control it - and her. She is threatened with the death of anyone she tells about the mysterious "them", and to cap it all she still has to do homework. Survivor is the first book in the Cyborg novella series following Fey as she grows into herself and her abilities.

You won’t find out what happened to her. But you will find out how she handles it. 19 year-old Josie is stuck in boarding school and there are only two ways out: graduate - or commit suicide. It’s not the school that troubles her, but what happened before. And now she has to find a way to live with it. Walk with her through the hallways of the school she calls “the bitch kennel”, through emotional turmoil, unexpected friendship and a passion for painting that leads to the discovery of a strength she had only guessed at before."IHIBRP Recommended Read Award Review:The makings of a great novel lie in wait in “Survivor”, a short story by Annette Spratte that introduces readers to a 19-year-old by the name of Josie who is shipped off to boarding school after a personal trauma resulting from a botched suicide attempt.Despite her young age, Spratte’s Josie is quite a mature young woman in this coming-of-age story that sets her up on her path to the future. Josie imbued with the usual teenage angst, but Spratte endows her strong female-lead with a maturity beyond her years as she learns to deal with inept teachers, bullying classmates, a detached mother, and a father who treats her more like a corporate associate than a daughter. The plotline of this story is familiar, but the relationship between these characters is vivid and complex. More than a few teens and women will relate to this nightmare-dreamer who is just gearing up to take charge and shape her own destiny. I look forward to the debut of Spratte’s upcoming novel and highly recommend this superlative read.Congratulations to the author on this IHIBRP 5 Star Recommended Read!"

"Approximately a week has passed since I caused the death of Gramshaw. I was very upset for a couple of days, lying in the hut and taking no food. Yesterday I felt better. I slept well last night. This morning I am as normal as a man can be who is alone on a desert island with no real certainty of being rescued before he starves."Mr Justice Heilbronn did not enjoy holding the inquiry into the wreck of the Marigonda and its subsequent circumstances. For one thing there was a desert island in it. And then there was that preposterous suggestion about a wild man inhabiting the island. On top of it all there was this sole survivor accusing himself of the moral responsibility for the death of one of the party. A sole survivor; so who or what killed the other six?
