Publisher's summary

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

It’s the perfect town . . . as long as you don’t try to leave.

Nestled amid picture-perfect mountains, the idyllic town of Wayward Pines is a modern-day Eden—at least at first glance.

Except that within its fences, the residents are told where to work, how to live, and who to marry. None of them know how they got here. Some believe they are dead. Others think they’re trapped in an unfathomable experiment. Everyone secretly dreams of leaving, but those who dare face a terrifying surprise.

As sheriff, Ethan Burke is tasked with enforcing the town’s laws, and he’s one of the few entrusted with the truth—even though, for all his knowledge, he’s as much a prisoner of Wayward Pines as anyone else.

But when a murder investigation draws him deeper into the town’s inner workings, Ethan learns that its past is darker than even he suspected—and finds himself faced with an impossible choice.

The second novel in Blake Crouch’s blockbuster trilogy, Wayward delves deeper into the irresistible mysteries and horrors of this perfect little town, even as it asks what it means to live with secrets—and what price we’ll pay for the truth.

the story continues

the discovery process of pines leads to the natural next step of obedience or revolt. The evolving understanding of reality leads to a spectacular cliff hanger…And places the reader on the door step of The Last Town. This book is a little more difficult than the first only because it has several arcs some destructive others constructive. what you end up with is a great story of human nature. The ambition of pam, the corruption caused by absolute power, or the misery caused by not knowing. A truly great book!

It’s a fun escape!

I’ve never been much of a science fiction fan but more and more I’m getting into some contemporary sci-fi/horror. Blake Crouch is a fun, entertaining read that, IMO, has some very layered themes and social commentary as well. So far, the Wayward Pines series has been great.

Good book

It’s a good story and a really cool idea. I’ll finish the trilogy for sure.

My only gripe is the way Blake Crouch writes sex scenes. A woman finishing while having a conversation and being taken by surprise by it? That’s not how it works. Other than that though the story is great.
