Although the title of this and some of the write ups perhaps lead you to believe that this is a story of an air crash it is far from it. The crash itself, although dramatic and graphically described by Herbert is little more than the lead in to the story.
This story once more centres around one main character, this being the only "survivor" from the crash – Keller. Feeling guilty at being the only person to survive he tries to come to terms ... ...strange incidents in and around the town of Eton where the crash occurred.
As per normal Herbert details these incidents so graphically you

Advantages: Stunning and qyite believable Disadvantages: none
...would be like to be the only survivor of a horrific tragedy, well in this stunning James Herbert story David Keller is in that exact situation.

Be prepared for tears, laughter, and a very believable twist. I have always found James Herbert to be an excellent storyteller, but this story in my opinion has surpassed ...

Advantages: Small book, good read ! interesting and makes you think! Disadvantages: Similar to other work! More characters may have been interesting.
The Survivor is about David Kellor who is the Only person to escape from a flaming wreckage of a Jumbo Jet.
The story starts with the crash and the aftermath of the crash for the local villagers of WIndsor.
But quickley events ensure that the crash is only the starts of the evil tale.
