DESCRIPTION:
"A Heart-Pounding Thrill Ride" according to 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 call. sb-lynn said Eerie and disturbing - no spoiler summary and review of the book (and TV show.). Brief review, no spoilers.I am going to be careful with this summary because the action in the book and the story line in the TV series start to diverge by episode "Eerie and disturbing - no spoiler summary and review of the book (and TV show.)" according to sb-lynn. Brief review, no spoilers.I am going to be careful with this summary because the action in the book and the story line in the TV series start to diverge by episode 2. So carefully I am going to say that the story basically concerns a secret service agent named Ethan Burke who wakes up in a hospital after a bad car accident. He had been the passenger in a car driven by another federal agent and they were on their way to a town called Wayward Pines, Idaho. They were sent there to go looking for two missing secret service agents, one of whom was a woman with whom Ethan had previously had an affair.Soon after waki. .

Truly original speculative fiction 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
As the days pass, Ethan's investigation into his colleagues' disappearance turns up more questions than answers. Wayward Pines, Idaho, is quintessential small-town America - or so it seems. Why can't he make contact with his family in the outside world? Why doesn't anyone believe he is who he says he is? And what's the purpose of the electrified fences encircling the town? Are they keeping the residents in? Or something else out? Each step toward the truth takes Ethan further from the world he knows, until he must face the horrifying possibility that he may never leave Wayward Pines alive. After a violent accident lands him in the hospital, Ethan comes to with no ID and no cell phone. The medical staff seems friendly enough, but something feelsoff. Secret Service agent Ethan Burke arrives in search of two missing federal agents, yet soon is facing much more than he bargained for
