Story
In a top-secret complex surrounded by miles of Texas scrubland, the United States military is working on a new form of germ warfare. Taken from homeless shelters and prisons, the subjects, discarded men and women of America, serve their country as unwilling lab rats. Ramon Willis didn’t commit the murder that put him on death row. But he’s guilty of something worse - surviving the virus and escaping his captors. Knowing he can’t take on the corrupt system alone, there’s only one person he can turn to - Lena Dryer, the reporter who covered his case and watched him die.

The suspect list is short but devastating: his wife, father, sister, and best friend. Charley always thought he could have it all, but the secrets, lies, and betrayals are piling up.

Publisher's Summary
A corrupt corporation. Ruthless assassins. Will the family that runs together… die together?
Fifteen-year-old Zach Monaghan has a target on his back. In the witness protection program for his father’s whistleblowing, he’s now run away, back to his old home in Chicago. Zach wants to get back to his friends and to Lindsey, the girl he’d met right before being whisked off in the middle of the night. But escaping his fake identity won’t last long if two contract killers catch up to him…
Big Joe Gorski has climbed the ladder from street thug to tycoon. Now he’s got it all - riches - status - police, and politicians in his pocket. But life at the top is suddenly unsteady and one slip can bring it all down. With a scheming partner, politicians who won’t stay bought and Feds breathing down his neck, Gorski has to move carefully. But being careful goes against his nature. He’s a raging bull and he’ll do whatever it takes to keep what he has … let the bodies fall where they will.
As the ruthless killer draws closer to Zach, surviving the greedy corporate plot may force the whole family to get their hands bloody…
The Runaway is a fast-paced thriller with dizzying twists and turns. If you like non-stop action, high-stakes tension, and large casts of compelling characters, then you’ll love Peter Thompson’s gripping novel.

A bit predictable...
Runaway is a good book though it is kind of predictable. I think Peter Thompson's first book Living Proof is so much better. That book has such a unique and original storyline.
Anyway, the publisher's summary for Runaway is pretty comprehensive so I won't add to it.
I will buy more from this author, I'm curious to see what his next book will be.
Gary Tiedemann does a great job narrating.

Thompson delivers a heart-pounding thrill ride in The Runaway. All the characters are well thought out with complex stories if their own. It is an edge of your seat, thrilling, suspense, novel. I look forward to checking out other works by this author.
The narrator, Gary Tiedemann, really made this story come to life. He individualized each character and made them seem authentic. The heightened suspense kept me on edge.

Enjoyable Story
I went into this book completely blind. Honestly, I didn't mean to sign up for this tour, but whoa, am I ever glad I did! I've never been one for audiobooks because I get so distracted, but while listening to this one, I was able to work on some crochet orders I had. I started the book on a Tuesday and by mid-Thursday, I was finished. I paused it on my computer, downloaded the Audible app on my phone and took my phone with me while cooking dinner just so I could listen to the book! Once dinner was over and the kitchen cleaned up, I opened it back up on my computer to finish listening to it! This book was fantastic! Constant thrills, constantly wondering what was going to happen next.
Again, not one for a lot of thriller books, I tend to stick with romance and other books like that. But wow!! This was an awesome fast-paced, action-packed, heart-pounding book. All of the characters were well thought out, in my opinion, with awesome backstories of their own.
I really enjoyed listening to this narrator! He brought the characters to life with his various accents and different voices. The heightened suspense of the book really kept me on edge and I notably enjoyed this book!
I received this audiobook as part of my participation in a blog tour with Audiobookworm Promotions. The tour is being sponsored by Peter J. Thompson. The gifting of this audiobook did not affect my opinion of it.

Fast Paced, Fun Read(Listen)
This book was fast paced and an enjoyable listen. It never really slowed down or got bogged down as some books do. Gary Tiedemann did a great job with the narration and gave each character a different and appropriate voice which really brought them to life. The story was interesting and I enjoyed how it was written from the perspective of the many different characters which kept things fresh and interesting. I felt some of the characters and side stories could have been the basis of their own books and exploits. There were some actions by characters in the book that I thought were pretty foolish and unrealistic but in life people do stupid and irrational things all the time so I suppose it isn't completely unrealistic, but that aside it never took me out of the story.

Went into this book not knowing what to expect and was very pleasantly surprised. Was a great book, A little predictable at times but nothing the ever pulled me away from the story. The Narrator did a great job of keeping me involved and keeping the action going. Will definitely look at picking up more by this author.

Action Packed
This was an action packed adventure. It was entertaining the whole ride. The story doesn't just focus on one character but rather it jumps around and let's you in on what is going on overall. The narrator helps keep the action moving and conveyed to story well. Overall I definitely recommend you give it a listen.

Runs well but then...
Good if too simplistic of a story. First half is stronger, then it does get a bit repetitive as it winds down to the conclusion. New-to-me writer, I much preferred his first book Living Proof that I also just listened to. Solid narrator has the right tone and voice for this.

Long, boring, annoying cussing
This book could have been told in 4 hours. The story line was not a thriller. It was painfully boring and stupid.
