Wayward pines the last town5/22/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Nowhere is safe for longer than a few hours. ![]() Any place the humans can find the abbys can penetrate. The bulk of the novel details the rapid demise of the residents of Wayward Pines at the hands of the abbys. Pilcher retaliates by turning off the power to the town and the electric fence and opening the gate that keeps the aberrations out of Wayward Pines and telling them all, “Fuck you! Good luck!” So where was I when last we met? Ethan Burke (who I always think is named Ethan Hunt, the main character in Mission: Impossible, but he’s not) had just told the other residents of Wayward Pines, Idaho the truth of their strange sequestered life: they were abducted by an evil genius (Bethany: idea for new subgenre-books with evil geniuses as the primary antagonist) named David Pilcher or one of his followers at some point in the late twentieth or early twenty-first centuries, put in suspended animation, and woken up eighteen hundred years in the future, when humanity is extinct other than them, and the world is overrun by our “descendants,” insanely powerful intelligent creatures with translucent skin, talons, and arms that are longer than their legs. But maybe it means that these books don’t have much staying power, even though they were just about all I thought of while I was reading them. You know what? I just finished this book four days ago and I’m already beginning to forget the details of the plot. ![]()
