Max Luther is a booming new voice in the thrillerverse with a killer action-packed can’t-miss narrative that cements him as an author you can’t miss.
On The Run takes private bodyguard Alex Drayce US where he’s guarding a wealthy businessman living under an active threat. After the job winds down following a spectacular action sequence, Drayce is asked by a teammate to help a father search for his lost daughter in Las Vegas. Keen to avoid the inquiries following the shootout, he takes the job with the silver lining of easy money. However, the moment he thinks his task is finished, a trap is sprung on him and he finds himself on the run hunted by authorities and powerful gang members. But what they don’t know is Drayce isn’t a newbie. He knows how to get answers and he won’t stop at any cost to exact justice.
I loved On the Run immensely. It promises a sharp, entertaining, and an engaging narrative where the protagonist isn’t an all-knowing indestructible character. Alex Drayce deals with the ugliness in the world but still manages to hold onto some sliver of hope. When that’s attacked, his guilt and hesitation lead him down a dangerous path of violence and retribution. For nothing can undo his mistake but he can surely avenge. The story picks up heat as he not only evades the cartel but also a tenacious cop, DI Naomi Ocean, finding himself in precarious situations navigating the shadowy world of crime and corruption. Luckily for us, most of his predicaments require him to beat up and shoot bad guys in badass action sequences. The action is furious with copious amounts of shootouts and chases. Luther writes each sequence with high kinetic energy that slingshots the narrative even farther from the opening salvo of intrigue and trouble.
On the Run is a propulsive action-packed thriller that includes one twist after another with a good ol’ badass protagonist who goes to extreme lengths to seek justice for those who have been wronged. Alex Drayce is not a man to be trifled with and by the end of this book, you’re going to be trembling with anticipation of what’s to come.
