Synopsis

The first book of the smash-hit Wayward Pines trilogy, from the New York Times bestselling author of Dark Matter, Recursion, and Upgrade

One way in. No way out.

Secret Service agent Ethan Burke arrives in Wayward Pines, Idaho, with a mission: locate 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.

As the days pass, Ethan’s investigation 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 farther from the world he knew, from the man he was, until he must face a horrifying fact—he may never get out of Wayward Pines alive.

The nail-bitingly suspenseful opening installment in Blake Crouch’s blockbuster Wayward Pines trilogy, Pines is at once a brilliant mystery tale and the first step into a genre-bending saga of suspense, science fiction, and horror.

And the base emotion underlying it all that was getting harder and harder to ignore. Terror. The strengthening sense that something was very, very wrong. As with The Magicians, I have to confess I like the TV series Wayward Pines far better than the book. Yes, I know the "reveal" has been spoiled,......more

4.5 - I need to next book ASAP. You know when you find a new TV series and you just want to binge watch it? This is how I feel about his books.

20% Mind-Blowingly Awesome 70% Dumb, Uncool Chuck Norris Now I’ve read 3 or 4 books by Blake Crouch at this point in my reading life. All of them have been amazing. Then, I read Pines. Was I really reading a book by the same author? If I was editor of this book, most of it would be cut or significantly......more

First book in a trilogy. Pretty good SF thriller! Review first posted on Fantasy Literature: Apparently I’ve been living under a rock or, perhaps, in an isolated cottage in a pine forest, since I had never heard of Wayward Pines — the town, the trilogy of novels by Blake Crouch, or the Fox TV series......more
