Thank you Netgalley for the opportunity to preview Run and Hide by Alan McDermott. This is a fast paced conspiracy theory type of book. I really struggled to want to read it though. I read a few fellow reviews to see if I could pinpoint what my lack of interest was and I agree with other reviewers that there was no character development. You are tossed right into these fast car chases with over the top action. I love thrillers and suspense but I like some more substance too.

A fast paced action thriller! Although this isn’t my typical kind of book to read, I did enjoy it.

My heart was in my throat from start to finish on this novel.. it’s very high intensity, but people will read all night to find out what happens next. It has CIA operatives, foreign agents, super rich bad guys and a great conspiracy plot.. I’m not sure I could read McDermott really often, but he certainly did keep my attention.. it’s a remarkable plot, and in places almost too real to contemplate. Thriller fans are going to love this one.

Read three chapters and gave up. I enjoy thrillers, but when the heroes (or villains) have over-the-top capabilities, I find that just plain boring.

Run and Hide by Alan McDermott is an high octane thriller that never stops from the beginning to the end.

The main character is Eva Driscoll who is trying to avenge the murder of her brother as she battles a secretive organisation who have fingers in a lot of pies.

The book is a nice easy read if you like this type of thriller

Thank you Netgalley for the opportunity to preview Run and Hide by Alan McDermott. This may be Book 1 of a series because the ending was open ended.
If you like conspiracy theory, the government is out to get you, books, this is the book for you. Lots of action with some suspense.
Characters were ok, and some of this was just not believeable. All in all, if you like this type of book, it will get your juices flowing.

An Interesting book. The idea that there is a group of very, very rich men ruling the world? Ridiculous - isn't it? I'm not so sure after reading this book. Lots of killing and car crashes for those who love them. Spies hunting spies, black operators hunting black operators.

Really enjoyed it. Makes you think about the world today - well it made me think anyway!

Excellent, excellent, excellent. So much action! I could not put it down. I just had to know what was going to happen next. This is a perfect example of a first class thriller. Totally loved it.

This book was given to me by NetGalley for a fair review.

I found this book to be exciting and thought provoking. The plot and action continue to flow through out the entire book. I was captivated at the idea of one group (ESO) running the world with all the power to make wars happen and have anyone killed with a snap of their fingers, and the lengths they go to while keeping it all under wraps.
I hope that Mr. McDermott has more of these books coming out as I would love to follow these characters as a group working together.

Fast paced action packed "page turner" book. Characters are well developed. 'Government within the government cabal is reminiscent of "the X Files smoking man" minus the aliens, "The Blacklist " TV series or "Illuminati"stories. Conspiracy theorists will enjoy this book. Primed for a follow up book with this theme and characters.

Run and Hide is nonstop action as Eva avenges her brother's faked suicide. Readers who enjoy conspiracy theory type books should love Run and Hide. It made me think about how much, if any, of the book's basic premise could be true, and it made me think of the recent headlines about collusion.

This is my kind of story. Lately I've been reading other types of books and I'm so glad I picked Alan McDermott’s newest book to read next. Where have I been? This is the first book I’ve read by this author and I couldn’t put it down.

I loved the plot and the main character, Eva Driscoll. She is tough and smart and great at her job, which is basically killing people for the wrong reasons, she finds out in this story. I appreciate the author’s knowledge of weapons, politics and history. The book definitely kept me guessing – the story line has many twists and turns, of which some really surprised me. If there is a book two, I will be reading it!!

Eva is a long and loyal serving solder for the CIA, well that's what she thought anyway, however one of her brothers friends life may be at risk and sticking her neck out only shows what that loyalty really means. But is this a personal battle of a very competitive lady or is there anything a lot deeper going on, not prone to the they are out to get me brigade make this a great thriller. As is a must for any thriller to work there has to be a number of twists and turns this you won't be disappointed in. The strength of our heroes can leave the enemy wanting and can avoid over doing the blood and gore, but the blood spillage and body count is not low. For that to make sense you will need to read the book. I don't think you will be disappointed as this book has a lot going for it and I love way Alan has ended this story and I'm sure you will want to read a lot more of his books. Our heroes are real action pack hero's that put super heroes to shame, as these are pure purpose driven and focused driven that makes them the sort that many will have dreamed of once having out grown the super hero stage of life (will let you know when I get there) but with a desire to right the wrong. However first you have to know who is the right and who is in the wrong. Enjoy this trip of discovery and see where the halo falls.

My first book by Alan McDermott. Grabbed me before I finished page one. Read it straight through and then started reading the Tom Gray series in anticipation of what else the author has penned. Wow! Not disappointed! This is a stand alone book with a few characters from the Tom Gray series appearing, but I didn't realize that when I read it pre-Tom Gray, and it didn't matter at all. I can't wait for the authors next book. Great read from a creative and talented writer.

Thank you NetGalley and Thomas & Mercer for this arc.

A great beach read book. Better than most political conspiracy / revenge driven type books. Lots and lost of action. A little techno-babble, but not enough to measurably slow the story down. While I've read this same type story innumerable times in the past, it's the characters that make this book. Especially Eva. Given the teaser thrown in at the very end, I suspect this is just the beginning of a series. If so, I'll definitely be looking for the next one.

3.5 stars rounded up.

Rees Colback, a marked man not knowing someone decided to end his life. Retired from the CIA because of an injury and finds that all of his former men coworkers that worked with him are all dead now. He is trying to escape from the CIa that is chasing him and can't figure out why when he is rescued by his best friends sister a CIA agent that wants to find out who killed her brother. A lot of action and a very intense story with twists and turns to the end!

I really enjoyed this book - pure James Bond/Jason Borne/Mission Impossible type escapism, with a far-fetched conspiracy theory underlying it. Or, looking at the world today, maybe not so far-fetched! From the very beginning, this story gripped me.
If you need an exceptionally entertaining break from reality, with well written prose and interesting characters, I cannot recommend this book highly enough.
There were a number of peripheral characters, that I thought would be developed - maybe they will feature in future books by Alan McDermott.
I will be seeking out other books by Alan McDermott, as he has real talent.

WOW!
Once you start this book, hang on to something. You will be going on a fast paced ride.
The action starts and never lets up!
It stops at the end but just enough for you to get a breath and look to purchase the next.
It seems to be a part of a series but this is a complete book. You are not left upset because the action stopped in the middle of the climactic ending. Well written story

Truly thrilling conspiracy filled spy novel. A highly trained operative takes on the black ops government when they have her war hero brother assasinated. With the last remaining member of her brothers squad, her former CIA compatriot and a whole lot of attitude, this well written book keeps you on the edge of your seat until the last page. Highly recommend
