From Little Stack
The first of a trilogy, Pines is Blake Crouch’s loving homage to Twin Peaks and The X-Files. You may have seen the TV show starring Matt Dillon but, trust me, the books are better. And book one, Pines, is a doozy.
Ethan Burke heads to the sleepy town of Wayward Pines searching for two missing federal agents, but a sudden accident leaves him spinning and questioning everything he thought was real. The plot never lets up, mystery piles atop of mystery, and the twist at the end is incredible. The rest of the series is good, but Pines is magnificent.
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.
