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….

I received Blake Crouch's RUN as an advance reader copy. I haven't had a chance to read and review yet, but it looks awesome. I can't wait to get a chance to read it.

New Mexico is a neat place to set a novel. My father in law lives there. Good luck with the review!
