Reprint of works originally published 1977-1982.
Rage -- The long walk -- Roadwork -- The running man.
Four novels published between 1977 and 1982. In Rage , a high-school student goes berserk in the classroom, killing the teacher and holding the class hostage. Set in a militaristic ultra-conservative America, The Long Walk pits 100 teenagers against each other in a grueling 450- mile marathon walk in which the penalty is death. Roadwork is a novel of societal conflict, man vs. progress. The Running Man is an action-packed futuristic romp. Protagonist Ben Richards bets his life on a TV show in order to win the money to save the life of his deathly ill daughter. The story combines social commentary, adventure and science fiction, set against the backdrop of a decaying society.
