The international runaway bestsellers that inspired the most watched summer show of 2015. From executive producer M. Night Shyamalan, Wayward Pines returns May 25th, 2016 and airs Wednesdays at 9/8c on FOX.
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.

Blake Crouch on How the Television Series Twin Peaks Inspired Pines
On April 8, 1990, the pilot episode of Mark Frost and David Lynch's iconic television series, Twin Peaks, aired on ABC, and for a moment, the mystery of Who Killed Laura Palmer? held America transfixed. I was twelve at the time, and I will never forget the feeling that took hold of me as I watched this quirky show about a creepy town with damn fine coffee and brilliant cherry pie, where nothing was as it seemed.

From Booklist
Starred Review Ethan Burke is on his way to the small town of Wayward Pines to find two fellow federal agents who have gone missing. He has a bad car accident on the edge of town, waking up in the hospital and not at all sure of what is going on. The psychiatrist on staff tells him that he has suffered a brain injury and warns him not to leave, but he takes off anyway. The town sheriff is less than helpful, and, with no ID or money, Burke can’t reach his superior or his wife, and he starts fearing for his sanity (reminiscent of Dennis Lehane’s Shutter Island). Matters turn ominous when Burke finds the ravaged body of one of the missing agents and realizes he needs to run for his life. Clearly, despite the idyllic beauty of Wayward Pines, something is seriously out of kilter: a helpful bartender disappears, picnicking mothers turn homicidal, and seemingly innocent children display maniacal tendencies. The suspense builds to an almost unbearable point, culminating with a twist that ratchets it up even further. Fans of Stephen King, Peter Straub and F. Paul Wilson will appreciate this genre-bending, completely riveting thrill ride, which mixes suspense, horror, science fiction and dystopian nightmare all rolled up into one unputdownable book. —Stacy Alesi
Review
"A thrill and a surprise on every page. Blake can write. Even better, he knows how to tell a gripping story." – Hugh Howey, bestselling author of Wool, and the newest in the Silo Saga, Dust.

Good summer read, with a few caveats.
By Kerry Nietz
I picked up Wayward Pines after seeing the trailer for one of the episodes of the TV show. There were just enough hints of a speculative story in that glimpse to make me think it was something I might enjoy. Unfortunately, the show is a couple season along and not available on either of the streaming services I subscribe to. So, what better way to check it out than to read the book?
Overall, I thought it was a fun read. There was always enough mystery to keep me turning the pages, coupled with the occasional “what the...what?” moment to keep me guessing at the possible resolution. Was this town a figment of Ethan Burke’s mind? Did he step into some sort of portal here? Where was this all going?
The author tends to like to drop the noun from his sentences. I know other popular writers do that, and there is certainly a place for terseness and being succinct. But for some reason it bothered me in this book. Enough to make me notice while I’m reading. Not a huge deal. The text is fine as is, but I wonder if that isn’t what other reviewers are stumbling on.
If I had any dissatisfaction in the book it was in the “reveal” portion. In the context of the story, and in a purely secular reading of science it probably works. But it caused a pretty big “wha...?” and then “eh” moments for me. Again, not a bad ending in the context of the book, and I give the author credit for mentioning something I had to then research.
There was also one statement in the book that gave me pause: “No different than the gladiator games or throwing Christians to the lions or public hangings in the old West. An atmosphere of self-policing isn’t a bad thing.” Now, I realize the character saying this is morally ambivalent, but...throwing Christians to the lions was “self-policing”? Maybe if you’re ISIS. I know this is a nitpick, and may or may not have been the author’s feeling or intent. But, wow.
That aside, Wayward Pines was interesting, unique and gripping. A good summer read.

A Heart-Pounding Thrill Ride
By Madelon Wilson
Have you been watching "Wayward Pines" on television? I was really hoping to have had the time to read at least PINES, the first book in the Wayward Pines Trilogy, before the show aired last summer. Alas, I did not, and here we are in the second season already. How time does fly. I would add that watching before reading is something of a bigger distraction than reading then watching is, because it is only natural to try and place scenes in the book into remembered scenes from the show.
This is the story of Ethan Burke, Secret Service Special Agent and how he comes to find himself in the idyllic little town called Wayward Pines. It is speculative fiction at its best. You must suspend your disbelief and accept that time can be controlled without the need for time travel. Good speculative fiction almost always deals with the age-old question of just because something can be done, should it. More often than that the answer is a resounding NO! Of course, you need to read PINES and answer that for yourself.
Again, for watchers and fans of the TV series, I found PINES to be illuminating about areas that the show seemed to leave in limbo. Along with Burke, you will recognize most of the characters - Theresa and Ben Burke, Sheriff Pope, and, of course, Nurse Pam. However, you will be surprised at some of the differences in these characters in the book.
I found PINES to be quite the thrill ride where my adrenalin was pumping as I read some of the very graphic scenes. It is the kind of tale that you want to read in one sitting, but if life gets in the way of doing that, you can pick up where you leave off and never have to go back to see where you are.
I am looking forward to starting the second book in the trilogy, WAYWARD, as soon as I get this review posted.

Truly original speculative fiction
By Mal Warwick
You know the story, or at least you think you do. Our hero arrives in a small, out-of-the-way town in an unfamiliar part of the country . . . and everything seems off, just a little bit. There’s something strange going on, but it’s deep below the surface. Then the violence starts, and there’s no rational explanation. The suspense quickly becomes unbearable.
Been there, done that? Unlikely.
Been there, done that? Well, that’s what you’re likely to think much of the way through Pines, the first volume in Blake Crouch’s Wayward Pines trilogy. I certainly did. In fact, given my aversion to horror stories, I became so frustrated that I practically tossed the book aside and looked for something more satisfying to read. Fortunately, I chose instead to read through to the end. Pines is not a horror story, at least not in the conventional sense. It’s . . . something else. If you enjoy speculative fiction, you’re likely to love this book. You’ve probably never read anything like it at all.
Thought-provoking speculative fiction
Although Pines comes across as a conventional mystery or horror story, it’s worth the wait. The thesis of the book (and of the trilogy) is truly original. You may find it difficult to stop thinking about the story for a long time after you’ve read it. It’s easy to see how the trilogy was so quickly shaped into Wayward Pines, a high-profile television series, now in its second season. The pilot was directed by M. Night Shyamalan. Matt Dillon and Carla Gugino star. All three names will be familiar to contemporary movie-goers and television fans.
An unlikely story becomes even less likely
The story seems straightforward. Two U.S. Secret Service agents have disappeared in a tiny rural Idaho town on an investigation involving financial crime. (The Secret Service is an arm of the U.S. Treasury. Its brief extends beyond protection of the President.) A second team of agents is sent in pursuit of the first two — then they also disappear.
In a highway collision, one of the two new agents dies. The other staggers about town in a daze with no memory of what happened. His wallet, his gun, and his briefcase are nowhere to be found. Then the mysteries really begin.
Want to know more of the story? Read the book. It will give your mind a workout.
