''The Survivor'' (''No Surivors'' in the United States) is a 2008 {{Thriller}} novel by Tom Cain, the second book in the ''Samuel Carver'' series. After the events of ''Literature/TheAccidentMan'', the protagonist, Samuel Carver, is nearly catatonic in a Swiss hospital, trapped in his nightmares. Meanwhile, Waylon [=McCabe=], a wealthy oil baron and Carver's only failed assassination target, has hatched a plan to spark Armageddon by acquiring a suitcase nuke and exploding it in Jerusaleum and Alex is pulled back into service with Russian espionage to foil his attempts. When Carver wakes up and realizes Alex is gone, he embarks on a quest to retrieve her and to foil [=McCabe=].
!!This novel exhibits the following tropes:
----
* BreakHisHeartToSaveHim: Alex, as in the first book, is forced to break Carver's heart to save him.
* EliteMooks: At one point, a team of Spetsnaz are dispatched after Carver. They don't survive long. Similarly, the team of former Rangers acting as security detail in the latter half of the book are similarly easily dispatched by some of the villains.
* ElitesAreMoreGlamorous: Carver is a former British Royal Marine. Other elites in the book from Spetsnaz to Army Rangers fare much worse.
* ReportsOfMyDeathWereGreatlyExaggerated: Alex's superior informs Alex that Carver is dead to motivate her. Alix is abashed to find out that he's alive, particularly since she'd just gotten married earlier that day.
* RippedFromTheHeadlines: This time, Cain based the book on Russia's admission that they no longer knew where about a hundred "suitcase nukes" were.
* [[MnogoNukesOther Suitcase Nukes]]: The central conflict of the book is over possession of a list of "lost" suitcase nukes.
