THE LAST TOWN is book three of the Wayward Pines series. Secret Service agent Ethan Burk arrived in Wayward Pines, Idaho searching for his partner. What he discovered was a town where people were told who to marry, where to work, and how to behave. In the previous book Ethan discovered the truth about the town and informed the town's members. Now all hell has broken lose as the ruler of the town seeks revenge. The people of the town fight to survive any way they can and Ethan must not only save his family but discover a way to save mankind.

THE LAST TOWN is book three and I had not read the previous two but thoroughly enjoyed this story. THE LAST TOWN and other books in the series are being adapted to a television series Wayward Pines that starts on FOX this fall. If the television show is half as exciting as the book it should be good.

Nonstop action and a very interesting concept about the future of mankind make THE LAST TOWN an excellent read. Blake Crouch has created a world that makes you wonder if you would risk all for the continuation of our species. You have to wonder at the horrible actions of the town creator no matter what his purpose.

I highly recommend THE LAST TOWN but think it would have even been better if I had read the first two and enjoyed the build up to the final installment. THE LAST TOWN an alluring look into how the multination of humanity takes away our humanity no matter the reasoning behind it. Blake Crouch has created a thought provoking world in THE LAST TOWN and it is well worth the read.
