From
the inside flap
“NO
ONE WAS SAFE FROM THE POWERFUL FORCE!
“‘I
can’t tell you my name,’ the trembling man stammered out. ‘I’m simply a man, Mr. Munro─a man running for his life!
But whether or not I’m able to stay alive or not, someone else must know. . .’
“And
what the running man knew was incredible and horrifying. But before the night
was over, the running man was dead, and with that, Jeff Munro had to believe
the horrifying truth. And he had to find a way to destroy the evil power that
was loose upon the world. It had come from outer space, reaching into our Solar
System from a faraway star. It was a power that could invade men’s minds. It
was a power capable of ruling the entire universe.”
Review
Running
is
a fun, fast-paced and action-oriented science fiction/alien cult-conspiracy
novel. The usual twists, turns and occasional betrayals keep this novella
interesting, making it worth your time.
The 2013
“Deluxe Paperback Edition” I read was republished by Armchair Fiction as a two-novellas-one-paperback work. Its companion novella is
William P. McGivern’s The Mad Robot (it was originally published in the
January 1944 issue of Amazing Stories).
