Publisher Description
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.
Customer Reviews
Really good book!
This book was great! The ending seemed a little rushed but all in all a great book!
Great Book
This book is disorienting at the beginning until you slowly start to think that you are putting together the puzzle that is this small town. That is until the plot twist hits you like a freight train.
A page turner… Crouch’s specialty
I read Crouch’s “Dark Matter” and it became my favorite book ever (still is). I was recommended this book after finishing “Dark Matter” a third time and “Recursion” and it has lived up to the hype. The blend of thriller and sci-fi is perfectly mind-bending, always leaving me questioning our reality in the best way possible. His books keep me creative. It’s exciting being brought, fully immersed, into a realty that Crouch creates. As someone who binged Twin Peaks freshmen year of college, I loved this piece. Moral of the story: Crouch’s bibliography is fabulous.
