A gripping apocalyptic thriller about a man and his family running for their lives in an America gone mad—from the New York Times bestselling author of Dark Matter and Recursion

No time to think. No time to ask why. Only time to run.

Five days ago, the epidemic of rage began.

Four days ago, the rash of senseless murders swept the nation.

Three days ago, the president addressed the country and begged for peace—even as the murders increased tenfold.

Two days ago, the killers began to mobilize.

One day ago, the power went out.

And tonight, the killers are reading the names of those to be killed over the Emergency Broadcast System.

Jack Colclough is listening over the battery-powered radio on his kitchen table in Albuquerque, and he just heard his name. People are coming to his house to kill him, his wife, his daughter, and his son.

He has no idea what’s happening, or why, but the time for questions is long past.

His only chance is to run.

Following an ordinary family on a desperate race through an America that’s destroying itself, Run is a terrifying, brutally stripped-down thriller from master storyteller Blake Crouch.

Just a survival story with gore fest. Nothing memorable. Similar to Recursion, this one is forgetable.

Not at the Dark Matters level for sure

Blake Crouch has done it again. I am sure this will make its way to the big screen. It’s riveting. A thriller from start to finish. Sad and scary, but also hopeful. It will make you think about the things that really matter in life. Great read/listen!!!

Another winner!

Blake Crouch knows how to write and he writes well and with this new novel he has written what feels like an adrenaline rush from start to finish following apocalyptic events.

The challenge with this book, or what’s lacking, is a sense of perspective: we never know in any real depth of what caused the events. We don’t get any background necessarily except for dribs and drabs here and there. So you can piece something together.

But with the amount of action energy that this book has, it could benefit from a break or two with a chapter or part, it takes a deeper dive into the causes of this event.

That being what it is, i like the family, i want them to come together, and i hope for the best as they face these challenges as together.

Adrenaline, Lacking Perspective

I've enjoyed this authors other works and this one didn't disappoint. It was a bit dark and gritty but I enjoyed it entirely.

keeps you engaged the whole time.

It was a decent story… not as peculiar as his other stories and didn’t leave me very satisfied or amazed like his other works but did offer some deep thinking moments of reflection after it was over.

Different than other Blake Crouch work.

Enjoyed the story and characters. The ending however felt a bit rushed. Wished there was just a little more conclusion instead of the blunt ending.

Great story, rushed ending

This was an interesting premise but then devolved into gory violence with no end in sight. Stopped reading before the end. I would just skip this one

Overly gory

Yes, Run! is brutal and harsh, but readers shouldn't be surprised because the title summary and Apocalypse subject matter should let you know ahead of time how this book will go. But it's also a story of fighting for the ones you love and never giving up. Awesome job by the author and the narration was perfect.

Run! Excellent listen.

I was terrified the entire book LOL which is what I wanted. Loved the story. Loved the characters. The ending was a little *too* happy for me but overall loved the aurora concept!

I really liked this one
