Summary

It's a dog-eat-dog world of upgrades and bio-enhanced assassins, where a brutal dictator keeps New Chicago separated from the outside world.

Marisol is a bounty hunter, tasked with tracking down "Runners" - people who have been paid to take the fall for crimes committed by the wealthy. But when she captures a young Runner with a secret, she unknowingly stumbles into a vast conspiracy. The hunter becomes the hunted as those in power turn the city inside out trying to crush anyone who would dare to expose the truth.

Nowhere is safe as Assassins close in from every direction. The unlikely duo of a Runner and a rising-star Hunter must survive the endless onslaught to blow the lid off the rampant, city-wide corruption...or be silenced forever.

A bit Logan's Run, Running Man, Escape from New York, and even some Ready Player One

An interesting post-apocalyptic adventure

In the future safety can be found within the walls of New Chicago as stories of monsters outside the walls abound . Its the ones within that may be worse as the absolute authority Longman rules over the simpler peopes left after the fall.
Absolution can be found for those by using a Blood Runner and a team who hunt them where both parties level up their XP as they hunt.
When things go wrong during a hunt and the truth about Longmans abuse of power threatens to destroy the way of live for all it will be a young blood runner and his hunter a young girl who find out too much and in the run for their own lives discover some new fascinating things about the wider world they now find themselves in.
Great interaction between the two main MCs with some nice world building making this an exciting new series to follow.
Narration was different to how i expected ,so although it was good it didn't grab me as much as i hoped and seemed to take a lot longer to get into properly.
Will more stick with this as the series picks up on the books so will do so more for the audio as well.
I requested this audio and have decided to leave my thoughts for you to peruse.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
