Wayward Pines — Stephen John

Peter McCall meets and is seduced by a beautiful woman in LA. When he wakes the next morning, he finds his world changed forever. He was no longer in LA. He is in Wayward Pines, Idaho. He is prohibited from leaving or even talking to anyone outside the city.

Peter soon learns that no one leaves Wayward Pines... ever. He is not alone, however. Many residents of Wayward Pines arrived under mysterious conditions. A giant electrified wall surrounding the city assures no one will ever leave the city and everyone is monitored by cameras. No one discusses their past. Those who break the rules are subjected to public execution.

Peter finally uncovers the horrifying truth of why he and the other residents are there. He develops an all-or-nothing plan. He will escape or die trying. When an unexpected visitor, Ethan Burk, arrives, Peter puts his plan into motion leading to a chilling conclusion.

Blake Crouch's original two books, Pines and Wayward detail the early days of Ethan Burke's arrival through Ethan's own eyes. Unspoken: The Journey of Peter McCall describes another man's story in Wayward Pines years before Ethan's arrival, and then tell the story of Ethan's early days from Peter's perspective.
