The Runaway

Peter Ash, Book 7

De: Nick Petrie

Narrado por: Stephen Mendel

"Petrie has a preternatural talent for ratcheting up suspense."--New York Times Book Review

When Peter Ash rescues a stranded woman, he finds she’s in far deeper trouble than he could ever imagine in the powerful new thriller in this bestselling and award-winning series.

War veteran Peter Ash is driving through northern Nebraska when he encounters a young pregnant woman alone on a gravel road, her car dead. Peter offers her a lift, but what begins as an act of kindness soon turns into a deadly cat-and-mouse chase across the lonely highways with the woman’s vicious ex-cop husband hot on their trail. The pregnant woman has seen something she was never meant to see . . . but protecting her might prove to be more than Peter can handle.

In order to save the woman and himself, Peter must use everything he has learned during his time as a Marine, including his knowledge of human nature, in order to escape a ruthless killer with instincts and skills that match—and perhaps exceed—Peter’s own.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Explosive and engaging! Fasten your seatbelt, this is going to be a wild ride."--Lisa Gardner

“The result is another violent, fast-paced thriller in this action-packed series."--Associated Press

"Each book is richer. Each new Peter Ash novel is deeper and more complex than the last. Nick Petrie raises the bar with each new book and every time exceeds himself."--Robert Crais

This one isn’t so much about Peter

It’s involves an girl trapped by one bad man and goes to another. Peter saves her but her story is most of the book. Still an excellent red.

Thrilling throughout

This book have a lot of twists and turns and a lot of scary moments when the reader says how in the hell could anybody get themselves into this but they did and I was enthralled from the moment I pressed play.

One of my favorite series.

I only wish there was another in the series! Great characters, love that the plots involve characters involved in trying to do good things. I love that there isn’t one line ranger protagonist but a group of friends looking out for each other. The writing is excellent, feels real, and is fun in many places. The audible performance is sooooo great too. Loved them all and hope a next comes soon!

Bring us more

This is the most realistic big-guy-saves-the-world Guy in the action genre. Period. End of story. 20 stars for the realness of the Guy. Our hero is a combat Vet, somewhat disabled due to brain trauma from explosions and PTSD from a brain stuck in fight-or-flight. But he’s my no vin’ on down the road the best he can w/what he’s got, just like the rest of us. The narrator who, in my opinion, does not do justice to investigative reporter/GF, does a great job w/Lewis a great character who is believable b/c the author has created a believable world around a believable hero. The author does great justice to strong, independent women working in the traditionally male world of investigative journalism.

This is my favorite of the series but I say that every time a new one comes out. The 1st was good enough I looked forward to (but wasn’t waiting for) a sequel. The 2nd book. Just Wow. Now I do wait for them- checking the internet for a glimpse of a new release. You can read this one first, but why? I think reading the 2nd one first, then this one if you want to go out of order- but again, this one will be here (unless something weird happens like w/RC Bray & the Martian). These are the best of the series out there. Reacher in hard copy are as good, but I really hate the narration. I tried but I just couldn’t listen for long. I’ll try not to stalk you Mr Pietre ,but I will be watching.

Free will

What a great story and amazing characters. Still thinking of Helene and not sure about her real character. Victim or something else? Peter is just a great creation and he just cannot stay out of trouble but he takes us along for the ride.

Not his best

Good job diferent from his other books, he concentrates on the evil but does not quite succeed

The Best Peter Ash so far

The story was compelling and moved so quickly. I love this series, I think this may be the best of the series to date. Wonderful narration.

not a bad story, kept my interest

it could have been shortened a bit kind of redundant in places. not as good as some of the previous Peter Ash books,

Great Narrator-Worth a Listen.

Long but kept you listening. Had a very likable hero. Thanks for not all getting all liberalish like a lot or authors are doing these days trying to get woman attracted to them. 👍

A different narrator

While Nick Petrie is an amazing author and his stories can have you on the edge of your seat for hours the narrator kills it. He is flat and boring. I’ll have to read the actual book to hear Nicks voice telling the story.
