Run by Blake Crouch

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

5 D A Y S A G O
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
The President addressed the nation and begged for calm and peace…

2 D A Y S A G O
The killers began to mobilize…

Y E S T E R D A Y
All the power went out…

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….

My thoughts
As most the country goes crazy in some bizarre happening, Jack Colclough takes his wife and two children and tries to run from the madness and keep his family alive. This novel is not only intense, but fast moving, graphic and all together a rollercoaster of excitement. While Jack is trying to keep his family together, they learn to become a real family and not the dysfunctional one that they were before the apocalypse. Running across the country, they experience not only the diseased, but others in the same position. I enjoyed this story as it kept moving and kept me interested all the way to the finish line!

Disclosure: The book was received for review from the author. I received no compensation for my thoughts.
