Looking for a book series about the characters being on the run from the government or someone similar.

[Clare]

Hello Goodreaders.

I am in desperate need to find new books where the plot is about the main characters being on the run from either the government or someone familiar. It’s so hard to find books with this type of plot since it seems I’ve read them all, all the good ones anyway. It can be any category from Sci-Fi to Contemporary, I don’t mind. It’d be awesome if the characters could fight too but it isn’t a must. I just love the suspense and danger of the characters being on the run constantly moving from one place to the other, being on guard and careful, being chased, and fight scenes especially in a Dystopian world or Sci-Fi, as they’re my favorites. It would be awesome if the characters were a group of friends/family who are loyal to one another with a tight bond and don’t keep secrets with the two main characters in a romantic relationship. All my books have to have a strong romance in them.

While we’re at it, know any good Dystopian books?

Please suggest some for me to check out.

Thank you in advance.

Blackbird by Anna Carey came to mind. The opening scene will stay with you. Happy hunting.

The Chemist--by Stephenie Meyer of the sparkly vampire books. 😀. But, this book is totally different.

"A former operative for a secret government agency that killed her mentor, must take extraordinary steps to stay alive."

[SamSpayedPI]

Also Firestarter by Stephen King

The Chemist for Ebookworm2016's suggestion.

you probberly read it but The Maze Runner series might be what you are looking for.

[NancyJ]

These books are about people who worked for the government, but they are running from it.

Six Days of the Condor and maybe other books in this series.

The Bourne Identity series

The Innocent and other books in this series.

Hum, this series is set during the temper tantrum that the Super Volcano out west--aka Yellowstone throws every 100,000 years. Essential Beginnings is the first book in the series (which is finished, so no waiting for that last book). The MC's are fighting to reach a sanctuary that is owned by the H's former Marine Tank MGunnerySgt. Interesting series, and I liked the descriptions of what was happening. No tstl characters--except for a few of the villains.

[bookel]

The Chimaera Conspiracy by Beverley Paine.
Eye of the Wolf by Troon Harrison.
Obernewtyn and sequels by Isobelle Carmody.
Flight of the Doves by Walter Macken (try runaway fiction)
Prove Yourself a Hero by K M Peyton (try kidnapping fiction)
Mind-Call, Mind-Hold, Mind-Find by Wilanne Schneider Belden.
The Case of the Vanishing Boy by Alexander Key.
The Girl with the Silver Eyes by Willo Davis Roberts.

L.J. Smith: Dark Visions

The Great Forgetting

If you don't mind YA, Ally Condie's trilogy starting with Matched

1984 is a classic of the genre

Firestarter

Christian Nation

It Can't Happen Here

The Handmaid's Tale

[Rachie2929]

Free to Fall

[Ann aka Iftcan]

There's also the The Bourne Identity series. I liked the books much more than the movie--which I screamed at a lot. (Needless to say that I didn't watch the movie in the theatre. My husband no longer takes me to any movie that's based on a book that I might have read for that reason.)

[Mandy]

Inside Out

Days Like This - Aussie Dystopian

All Our Yesterdays

Unwind is amazing, one of my favourite series!

Delirium

And this isn't a running from the Government one but the main character is trying to escape from captors (it is dystopian) Wither

[Ann aka Iftcan]

Tomorrow, When the War Began possibly? First in a series set in Australia.
