Run

Run by Blake Crouch

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Jack Colclough wakes up to a nightmare.

The whole world has gone insane.

A rash of inexplicable murders caused by a large swath of people infected my madness has consumed the country.
Names are being read across the Emergency Broadcast System…And Jack and his family are next on the list.

He packs up what he can and off they go, wife Dee, and children Naiomi and Cole…into the wasteland of an America that is consumed by madness and violence.

So goes Run, a propulsive thriller that almost never looks back. The bad guys are everywhere, hunger and dehydration are the enemy…and a family has to find a way to survive…but for what?

This is an early book by Blake Crouch, once self-published. Now that he is a well-known writer, we have the professional copy. Crouch is a skilled writer that I will follow even on the rougher trips. And the author of Dark Matter and Recursion has given us a rough trip; a raw and violent tour de force through a country that may be only a few years off from this kind of thing.
