It's actually an amazing thriller, sort of a Blade Runner crossed with The Fugitive.

There are actually three really good Bachman stories. If you like the Running Man, the Long Walk is also excellent, although some might think they are too similar, I think each stands on its own based on the different approach. The Running Man is more Suspense/Thriller while the Long Walk is a Dystopia/Character Study.
The third is Rage... a novella about school shootings about 20 years ahead of its time.
