About the book
In the reality TV show The Running Man , the only objective is to stay alive. This “slam-bang action suspense” (Gilbert Cruz, Vulture ) from Stephen King is now a major motion picture from Paramount. Ben Richards has no job, no money, and a young daughter who urgently needs medical attention. Desperate, out of options, he signs up for The Running Man , “the biggest show in the country.” It’s an ultraviolent competition where the stakes could not be higher. Ben must stay alive for thirty days while an elite strike force, trained to kill, hunts for him. If he can survive for a month, he wins a billion dollars. No contestant has ever lasted longer than eight days. Can Ben Richards win this ultimate game of life and death?
