Publisher Description
It's not just a game when you're running for your life.
Every night they tuned in to the nation's favourite prime-time TV game show.
They all watched, from the sprawling slums to the security-obsessed enclaves of the rich. They all watched the ultimate live death game as the contestants tried to bet not the clock, but annihhilation at the hands of the Hunters. Survive thirty days and win the billion dollar jackpot - that was the promise. But the odds were brutal and the game rigged. Best score so far was eight days.
And now there was a new contestant, the latest running man, staking his life while a nation watched.
Customer Reviews
Hot Lips
The book was very good but as as a Stephen King fan I found the ending rather disappointing, it left you with a cliffhanger knowing what happened to the character but still wanting that little bit more. But all in all a very good gripping story couldn't put the book down.
Film was better
Did not enjoy this at all, very disappointing and did not like main character at all.
