Publisher Description
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.
Customer Reviews
So good!
I watched the tv version of this first and really liked it. Now I’ve read the series and the books are even better. Together they read like one book. Couldn’t wait to get back to them in between reading.
Another fun read
A little disappointed that the protagonist Ethan wasn’t a little more forward thinking but we shall see. Obviously leads us to buy the third book
Each installment gets better
The first installment was good, but a little rough, but this novel is significantly better and very enjoyable to read. This installment gets the world to the point that you find yourself thinking about it even when not reading.
The (brief) sex,scenes felt awkward and unnecessary, but overall a great journey. The way the series wraps up in the third part pulls this all together so well.
