Secret service agent Ethan Burke arrives in Wayward Pines, Idaho, with a clear mission: locate and recover two federal agents who went missing in the bucolic town one month earlier. But within minutes of his arrival, Ethan is involved in a violent accident. He comes to in a hospital, with no ID, no cell phone, and no briefcase. The medical staff seems friendly enough, but something feels... off. As the days pass, Ethan's investigation into the disappearance of his colleagues turns up more questions than answers. Why can't he get any phone calls through to his wife and son in the outside world? Why doesn't anyone believe he is who he says he is? And what is the purpose of the electrified fences surrounding the town? Are they meant to keep the residents in? Or something else out? Each step closer to the truth takes Ethan further from the world he thought he knew, from the man he thought he was, until he must face a horrifying fact — he may never get out of Wayward Pines alive. Intense and gripping, Pines is another masterful thriller from the mind of bestselling novelist Blake Crouch

There's immediately urgency and mystery and it keeps you on that edge, with the stakes raising and game fields changing right up till the very end. I read this all in one night. It grabbed me ...
by Blake Crouch The opening of this story reminds me of the beginning of Nine Princes in Amber, because the Protagonist awakens, lacking memory of who he is, in a forest with light hurting his eyes. He has no wallet or I.D., he's bruised up severely, and his neck hurts a lot. After some not very...
Originally posted on my blog:If you happened to have watched the television show based on this series, you may already know where I’m going with this. When I read the Wayward Pines trilogy, the television show had been teased, but it hadn’t aired yet. I found the idea intriguing, but I was very care...
Audio CD (edit) Review I listened to the audio version of this book and it was terrific. It took me a really long time to finish this,but thats more my fault. When I started listening to this I was like wow this is crazy what is even going on? I knew there was a TV show so I Googled to see what ch...
Why did I try reading Wayward Pines? Because I couldn't get home in time to see the show. And of course, I read it without knowing a thing about the story except it's weird. So as far as I'm concerned it's Twilight Zone meets, Stepford Wives, meets Creepshow, meets everything else trippy you can thi...
