L'agent fédéral Ethan Burke reprend conscience, seul et blessé, en pleine rue à Wayward Pines, petite bourgade tranquille de l'Idaho. Partiellement amnésique, il se sou- vient être à la recherche de deux autres agents mystérieusement disparus dans la région.
Il se rend vite compte qu'il n'a plus de papiers, ni de téléphone et, en dépit de ses efforts, il ne parvient à joindre ni sa femme, ni son supérieur, ni personne du monde extérieur.
Il y a vraiment quelque chose de bizarre à Wayward Pines, comme chez ses habitants.
Lorsqu'Ethan découvre le cadavre horriblement mutilé de l'un des agents qu'il recher- chait, l'étrangeté cède la place à un danger mortel.
C'est maintenant sûr, il y a quelque chose de pourri à Wayward Pines. -
Bienvenue à Wayward Pines, 461 âmes.
Nichée au coeur des montagnes Rocheuses, la petite bourgade revêt une apparence idyllique, si l'on oublie la clôture électrifiée qui l'entoure, la télésurveillance incessante et la puce électronique implantée de force à chaque habitant. Aucun de ces résidents ne sait d'ailleurs comment il est arrivé ici. Certains pensent qu'ils sont morts, d'autres qu'ils sont piégés dans une expérience scientifique et tous rêvent secrètement de s'échapper. Ethan Burke, le nouveau shérif est l'un des rares à connaître la vérité. Une vérité insupportable. Dès lors, comment libérer les habitants parmi lesquels se trouvent sa femme et son fils ? -
Voilà trois semaines que l'agent Ethan Burke est arrivé à Wayward Pines, Idaho. Dans cette ville les habitants se voient assigner un logement, un travail et parfois même une personne pour partager leur vie pendant qu'à l'école, on apprend à leurs enfants que David Pilcher, le fondateur de la ville, est leur Dieu. Bien entendu, personne n'est autorisé à quitter la ville, cernée par une immense clôture électrifiée. Ethan, lui, a découvert ce qui rôde au-delà de l'enceinte qui isole Wayward Pines du monde extérieur. C'est précisément cette menace qui est maintenant sur le point de submerger la ville et peut-être même d'annihiler l'humanité toute entière.

Quand Jason Dessen se réveille, il se trouve dans un monde qui n'est pas le sien. Son épouse n'est plus son épouse, son fils n'est jamais né, un complet inconnu se prétend son ami de toujours. Et Jason n'est ici pas un simple professeur de physique, mais un véritable génie à l'origine d'une découverte époustouflante. La seule chose dont il se souvient, c'est qu'un soir, en rentrant chez lui, il a été kidnappé par un inconnu masqué auquel il a été impossible d'arracher la moindre explication. De toute manière, ce dernier lui a dit que même s'il lui expliquait tout, Jason refuserait d'y croire.

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.
As the days pass, Ethan''s investigation 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 farther from the world he knew, from the man he was, until he must face a horrifying fact-he may never get out of Wayward Pines alive.

The final book of the smash-hit Wayward Pines trilogy from the New York Times bestselling author of Dark Matter, Recursion, and Upgrade
What''s inside was a nightmare. What''s outside is a thousand times worse.
Welcome to Wayward Pines, the last town.
Secret Service agent Ethan Burke arrived in Wayward Pines, Idaho, three weeks ago. In this town, people are told who to marry, where to live, where to work. No one is allowed to leave; even asking questions can get you killed.
But Ethan has discovered the astonishing secret of what lies beyond the electrified fence that surrounds Wayward Pines and protects it from the terrifying world beyond. And now that secret is about to come storming through the fence to wipe out this last, fragile remnant of humanity.
The Last Town at last pitches Ethan Burke and his fellow residents into all-out war against the forces outside the town''s gates-and in doing so delivers every bit the riotously horrific, breathlessly action-packed conclusion that the Wayward Pines trilogy deserves. -

A century-old mystery, and a desperate battle to survive . . .
On Christmas Day in 1893, every man, woman, and child in a remote mining town disappeared, belongings forsaken, meals left to freeze in vacant cabins, and not a single bone found.
Now, journalist Abigail Foster and her historian father have set out to explore the long-abandoned town and learn what happened. With them are two backcountry guides along with a psychic and a paranormal photographer who are there to investigate rumours that the town is haunted.
But Abigail and her companions are about to learn that the town''s ghosts are the least of their worries. Twenty miles from civilization, with a blizzard bearing down, they realize they are not alone.
The ordeal that follows will test this small team past the breaking point as they battle the elements and human foes alike and discover that the town''s secrets still have the power to kill.
Part journey into old-West history, part nail-biting survival thriller, Abandon is a bloody, darkly surprising tale as only Blake Crouch could deliver. -
L'agent Ethan Burke se réveille partiellement amnésique au bord d'une rivière. Les souvenirs lui reviennent peu à peu : il est un agent des Services secrets des Etats-Unis, il venait à Wayward Pines, petite bourgade tranquille du fin fond de l'Idaho, enquêter sur la disparition de deux de ses collègues quand il a eu un accident de voiture aux abords de la ville, tuant son coéquipier sur le coup.
Mais alors, pourquoi l'hôpital ne veut pas le laisser sortir, alors que ses blessures sont superficielles ? Pourquoi le shérif, franchement hostile, refuse-t-il de lui rendre son portefeuille et ses affaires ? Pourquoi ne parvient-il pas à joindre sa famille restée à Seattle ? Pourquoi le monde semble-t-il s'être ligué contre lui ?
Il y a quelque chose de bizarre à Wayward Pines. Et de mortel.
