About this listen

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.

Enjoyable conclusion to this trilogy, though it does leave room for the tale to continue. There were unexpected twists that I did not predict.

Great ending, but sad it's ended

Really enjoyed

I always remember a quote from a wonderful John Carpenter film called ‘Starman’ “Do you know what I like most about humanity…. You are at your best when things are worse”.

This trilogy especially its conclusion echoes that sentiment perfectly.
Blake Crouch is another league of author and somehow taps into the possibilities of where humanity could stand in the distant future.

The trilogy is beautifully narrated with heart and soul.
As a reader and audible listener I just wanted to thank this same narrator who I’ve spent many an hour listening to. You brought life and a heartbeat to the residents of Wayward Pines and it’s central character of Ethan Burke will resonate with me for quite a while to come.
Thank you

A story about hope.

Great book. Worked nicely into an audiobook. A few great twists in the tale. Very well performed

Love a bit of utopian/dystopian drama

The narrator’s female voice was extremely annoying, it was hard to listen to at times. That’s the only problem I have.

Brilliant trilogy
