Product Description

Review

'A rattling good read' Literary Review.

Product Description

Jane Whitefield is a fiercely intelligent, resourceful Native American woman, who's also very beautiful. For ten years, she worked in a very unusual profession, helping people escape from their enemies and become runners, for whom she created new identities that would never be uncovered. Until she got married and promised her new husband, a surgeon in Amherst, New York, that she would give up her job and settle into a happy, quiet life. But when a bomb explodes in the middle of a hospital fundraiser, Jane finds herself face to face with the cause of the explosion: a young girl, who is pregnant and has been tracked across the country by a team of hired killers. That night, regardless of the vow she made to her husband, Jane has to revisit old skills and old contacts. Saving the life of one last victim is going to send Jane off on a mission that could be a rescue operation - or a chance for revenge. '

4.0 out of 5 stars Running away, 19 Jan 2009
By J. Flaton (Amsterdam, The Netherlands) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Runner (Jane Whitefield Novels) (Hardcover)
After almost a decade Jane Whitefield is back, with a sixth book. She has given up her job of letting people "disappear", but a brutal attack on a hospital in her own home-town changes everything. She's on the run again, with a pregnant girl in desperate need of "disappearing" from her husband and his monster of a father.

We may trust Thomas Perry to come up with a devious plot and yet another fascinating glimpse in Jane's shadow-world (she's half Seneca). As a hard-paced thriller on its own it fully deserves four stars, but as I have enjoyed Jane Whitefield's company for a long time I'm feeling a slight disappointment as the plotting feels as a bit of a pillage from her other adventures in the past.

On the bright side, the book ends with a clear opening to yet another Jane Whitefield encounter in (hopefully) a near future.

1.0 out of 5 stars The last Thomas Perry novel???, 3 Sep 2009
I have read all Thomas Perry's books, and the amazing thing is that, contrary to most writers, the quality of his books decreases with every new issue.
His latest, The Runner, is the worst book I've read in years, and reading about 300 books per year, you can imagine I've read some dogs!!
So if you're into cheap penny arcade romance, or endless explanations about everything, from pregnancy to "how to prepare you new baby room", Buy It!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Won't get fooled again, 9 April 2009
By L. J. Roberts (Oakland, CA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Runner (Jane Whitefield Novels) (Hardcover)
First Sentence: The girl kept half-turning in the back seat to stare out the rear window of the cab, as though she were being chased across Buffalo to the hospital.

In the past 10 years, Jane Whitefield no longer helps people in need disappear from their lives. She has married and is living with her husband, Dr. Carey McKinnon in Buffalo New York. Organizing a fund raiser at the hospital, Jane feeling that something is wrong is proved correct when an explosion occurs.

A young, very pregnant, woman tells Jane she is the cause. She is being sought by six people and needs to disappear in order to keep herself, and her baby, safe.

What happened? I used to love the Jane Whitefield books but this was dreadful from the very beginning. ---NOT REALLY A SPOILER since it happens within the first few pages--- Even the initial premise of the bad guys setting off a bomb so the hospital would be evacuated and they could kidnap the girl was absurd. Hello?!? If you want the hospital to be evacuated, you call in a bomb threat, not set one off. And that they set the bomb off in the kitchen the night there just happened to be a fundraiser? No, no, no.

Nothing worked here. It was basically a long road trip without much suspense. The motive behind it all made the book a basic wall-banger for me. I'm afraid, to quote the "Who" song, "Won't get fooled again." Skip this one.
