For fans of Stephen King, Dean Koontz, and Thomas Harris, picture this: a landscape of American genocide...

A rash of bizarre murders swept the country…
Senseless. Brutal. Seemingly unconnected.
A cop walked into a nursing home and unloaded his weapons on elderly and staff alike.
A mass of school shootings.
Prison riots of unprecedented brutality.
Mind-boggling acts of violence in every state.4 D A Y S A G O
The murders increased ten-fold…3 D A Y S A G O

They’re reading the names of those to be killed on the Emergency Broadcast System. You are listening over the battery-powered radio on your kitchen table, and they’ve just read yours.Your name is Jack Colclough. You have a wife, a daughter, and a young son. You live in Albuquerque, New Mexico. People are coming to your house to kill you and your family. You don’t know why, but you don’t have time to think about that any more.
You only have time to….

Why did I add Run to my bookshelf?
I downloaded a copy of this ebook in 2011 and added the audiobook in 2017. It looks like it is being re-released later this year which might be my sign to actually take the time to read this one. I have enjoyed this author’s work quite a bit in the past so I have high hopes for this one. It is kind of interesting that the audiobook that I own is no longer available to purchase. I am curious if it is being re-recorded with a different narrator. My friends on Goodreads seem to like this one and I hope that I do too.
What are your thoughts? Have you read this book? Would you recommend it?
Oh wow! That’s a new to me one! Didn’t know that audiobooks could disappear like that. I guess if regular books can go out of print the same can be said of audiobooks. Hope you’re able to read this one soon!
Ooh…this sounds very tense and scary. I’d totally read it!
I hadn’t heard of this one before, I hope it’s good.
The narrator had a scandal so I wouldn’t be surprised if it is being re-recorded.
I cant remember if I have tried his books or not
Blake Crouch is an author I really need to try. I’ve heard such gret things about his books but have never read any of them.
