2,5 stars Runner by Patrick Lee is the 1st in Sam Dryden Series and it's also the first book I've read by this author. An action packed thriller with a bit of paranormal thrown in. A lot happens in the first part of the story but then the plot becomes so implausible and beyond far-fetched....I "eye rol......more
The torrid pace produced eyestrain and finger cramps, as I flipped pages on my Kindle as fast as I could. I literally raced ahead as if I were a RUNNER, which I am on most days. And I might have forgotten who I was for about four hours or so. Or possibly longer. There’s no real way to tell. But my K......more
I really enjoyed this thriller, which felt like a cross between Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Identity and Stephen King's Firestarter. Out for a late night run, protagonist Sam Dryden winds up on the run, aiding a mysterious girl named Rachel who has escaped from a facility with no memory of her life b......more

“Veteran actor Esparza knows how to handle action while giving the characters necessary depth. This thriller never slows or falters.” —Booklist“Raul Esparza's high-speed narration sets listeners up for one wild ride. He manipulates his cadence throughout his narration, and the effect is nothing short of game changing as a listening experience. The only disappointment in this listen is that it ends.” —AudioFile Magazine“Patrick Lee is a huge talent and Runner is his best book yet—breathless, involving, smart, and completely convincing.” —Lee Child “Pure adrenaline rush! Finally, an action-packed novel brimming with complex characters as well as genuine heart. Not to be missed.” —Lisa Gardner, New York Times bestselling author of Touch and Go and Catch Me“I’m going to sue Patrick Lee for giving me whiplash: that’s how furiously paced this book is. A terrific cast of characters, unrelenting action—strap in and enjoy the ride.” —Jesse Kellerman, author of Sunstroke and Trouble“This is a thriller done right. It literally begs to be read in one sitting. I said it before and I'll say it again. Patrick Lee is the real deal.” —Steve Berry, New York Times bestselling author of The Amber Room and The Columbus Affair
