About this listen
When dreams and nightmares collide, there’s no place left to run.
Dawn breaks over Bison Creek, a sleepy little Wyoming town, to reveal a scene of mayhem. Two bodies lying inside the police station. Both brutally killed. One of them a cop. A man covered in blood sprawled on the steps outside. Conscious but disoriented. Beside him, a gun and a stained Ka-Bar knife.
It’s an open-and-shut case. Every shred of evidence points to Ex-Marine Staff Sergeant Logan Davis, pushed over the edge by his acute PTSD. Logan knows no lawyer can prove him innocent. He calls the only man he knows will move heaven and earth to get to the truth: Axel Blaze.
A bloody trail leads Blaze to a cult leader with ties to rogue pharmaceutical company, preying on the vulnerabilities of troubled veterans, using them as pawns in his nefarious game. These power players will do anything to bury the truth. But they underestimate one thing—a relentless adversary who will go to any lengths to expose them.

And hard. Takes them out. Fast. Deputy Marshal Carter has gone missing in Little Butte, Nevada. The Dawsons own the town. The Mexican cartel is moving in on their meth business.

Story
America is under attack. Thousands lie dead after simultaneous strikes across the country. The day will come to be known as Bloody Monday. Jason Trapp, codename ‘Hangman’, was a covert operative whose feats became the stuff of legend. He was the tip of the spear—the man his country unleashed when all hope was lost. Six months ago, someone sold him out. The Agency listed him as killed in action. He lost everything—and everyone—he held dear. But Trapp’s not that easy to kill.

The three-letter agencies all want a piece of him, and the CIA is front and center.

Typical Blaze thriller - non-stop action and thrills
I couldn’t recommend it enough. I’d read this book earlier but when a friend said I should try listening to the audiobook as the narration is good, I gave it a try. And man, it was good. This narrator guy really knows how to keep a listener hooked. With Bill’s writing, it’s nonstop thrills. Audible just might have a convert in me.

Dark, Twisted, and Unputdownable
Bill Runner has written another brilliant thriller with No Escape. The conspiracy at the heart of this story is dark and chilling, with twists that kept me guessing. Axel Blaze is the kind of hero we need—fearless and driven by justice. The exploration of PTSD and its exploitation adds depth to the action-packed plot. Charles Kahlenberg’s narration pulls you right into the story. One of the best audiobooks I’ve listened to this year!

Top-notch thriller - Great story and narration
I loved it. High-octane action all through. The suspense was maintained throughout and the thrills never stopped coming. The narration was excellent, which makes sense as the narrator has a background in Hollywood. I was very surprised someone rated it two-stars. If this isn't five stars plus, I don't know what would be one. This was my first Audible listen and what a great start. I'll look for more titles by Bill Runner.
