About this listen

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 beat not the clock but annihilation at the hands of the Hunters.

Survive 30 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.

Spoiler in the Foreword?

Why did Mr King decide to spoil the ending of his own story in the foreword of the same book? Maybe it’s a generic piece of writing attached to all of his Bachman stories, but still. Recommend users skip it the first time.

Otherwise an okay story with a good performance.
