Have you ever wanted to escape to a distant island? When Rosie Trethewey, a disillusioned doctor turned market researcher, unexpectedly inherits a shack on the remote northern tip of Great Barrier Island, she decides it's time to begin a new life. Arriving at her new home, Rosie finds she has two neighbors sharing the wilderness Red O'Hara, a refugee from horrific wartime experiences on the Burma Railway, and Angus McLeod, a retired policeman who's abandoned a society he sees as soft and contemptible. Rosie's appearance panics Red and Angus, both fearing she'll disrupt their ordered lives...and they're right.

I was so attracted to the previews of this book, I mistakenly bought 2 of them. The plot, story line and book cover are all enticing. I was intrigued by the story focusing on people attempting to be self sufficient in a harsh yet sensitive environment. I could see where one depending on their surroundings for sustenance would be aggressively protective if that environment was being threatened.I will be straight up; the author is not always sensitive when it comes to the way he handles his women. He is condescending and sexist, but, this is in character with an old navy officer. Is this appropriate? Who cares..it is a good story . Besides, one could argue that Rosie, the female member of the trio living on this barren habitat, is quite comfortable with her sexuality and is comfortable acting on her sexuality.
So, if you can spare yourself the temptation to force your sexual and sexist issues on this story, you will find yourself vastly entertained and in for a wonderful adventure. I loved the story and wish for a sequel.

Sole Survivor A Novel (Audible Audio Edition) Derek Hansen Christopher Cazenove Phoenix Books Books Reviews
I enjoyed this book immensely. It was humorous, touching, and exciting. I found myself wanting to peek at the end because the suspense was so great...but resisted....didn't want to spoil it for myself. It was filled with historical interest, as well. Bought a copy for my older brother.
A most enjoyable and intriguing read with rich characters in a historical context in a far away place
Well told story
About three "crusty" individuals living, two of whom live there specifically to be alone/on their own, in a secluded. The reader gets to know and like each one. The writing is good and quite humorous throughout. It certainly exceeded my expectations and I will now look for other books from this author. Highly recommend
Boring & couldn't finish it
Certainly not one of my favorite novels (of the last decades). Story is believable, but sometimes improbable. All the main characters are somewhat extreme in their characteristics. Even if there is a kernel of reality to this story, it was not very captivating or imaginary to me. I do believe Derek Hansen, the author, can write.
My Mother loves this book and has listen to it dozen of time.She was Thilled when she opened it.
