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.

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 …

Review of 'Pines' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

I thought this was great and am interested in the sequels. The premise seemed a bit flimsy (expecially when compared to Crouch's later novels), but, man, I respect the imagination mined. The characters were sometimes caricatures, but that also fits into the plot. The kicker of the book comes from the unveiling of the true nature of the tale, and I hope that in the sequels the story further solidifies. In any case, it is a very worthy story and time well spent. Thank you, Mr. Crouch and all involved.
