To be honest, I figured out the big twist in this book within the first 60-ish pages.
After a violent altercation with the town’s sheriff, though, it becomes apparent he may not make it out of town alive. Each time he uncovers some new mystery about the town, he becomes more and more convinced he needs to leave Wayward Pines. Ethan also begins to suffer from debilitating headaches that affect his judgement and ability to function. He feels like he’s getting the runaround from the nurse, so he stealthily makes his way out of the hospital.Īs he wanders around town he begins to feel that all is not as it seems in Wayward Pines. He was in a terrible car accident, which killed his partner, just outside of town. He remembers more about how he came by his injuries while he waits. Hours pass, and there’s no sign of a doctor or Ethan’s belongings. She says she will work on that for him and that he should get some rest. He asks the nurse who checks on him to speak to a doctor, and he wants his wallet and cell phone back as well. He’s Ethan Burke, he is a Secret Service agent, and he was on a mission in Wayward Pines. He soon passes out only to reawaken inside a hospital with barely enough memories to know his own name. The book opens with Ethan Burke waking up beside a river in the woods. Pines by Blake Crouch is the first book in the Wayward Pines trilogy, and it even spawned a television series of the same name.
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?Įach 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. The medical staff seems friendly enough, but something feels…off.Īs the days pass, Ethan’s investigation into the disappearance of his colleagues turns up more questions than answers. He comes to in a hospital, with no ID, no cell phone, and no briefcase. But within minutes of his arrival, Ethan is involved in a violent accident. 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.
