In the reality TV show The Running Man, the only objective is to stay alive.

This 'slam-bang action suspense' (Vulture) from Stephen King is also a major motion picture.

It's not just a game when you're running for your life . . .

Ben Richards is a desperate man. He has no job and no money, and his young daughter urgently needs medical attention.

Out of options, he signs up for The Running Man: an ultraviolent reality television 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. He will win a billion dollars if he can survive for a month.

So far, no one has lasted longer than eight days. Can Ben Richards win this ultimate game of life and death?

Publisher's note: Also available in the collection The Bachman Books

'This dystopian tale has real pathos, and a point' Guardian

'America's greatest living novelist' Lee Child
