The Last Town, the third installment in the Wayward Pines trilogy, was fantastic! It was suspenseful and kept me wanting more. The ending leaves the story open for a fourth book and I really hope this happens. The story has completely piqued my interest regarding the possible extinction of mankind as we know it. Fox television has picked up this trilogy as a mini series and it has an all star cast. According to Internet sources, Wayward Pines the mini series will be released sometime in 2015. I am so excited!

I can't say that these three books are well written. I'm not even sure that there was a proper sentence structure in any portion of this series. Yet, they are teeth rotting candy and I devoured all 3 in a week and would read 10 more if Crouch tossed a few more sentence fragments together and called them a book.

The first half of this book was just pure action: abbies are in town and treating the people like an all you can eat buffet. The reality of 2/3 of humanity getting slaughtered is gripping. As I was reading the thought "this book will kill humanity" just kept playing in my head.
The writing around the action scenes got a bit repetitive. Don't feel like it's really the author's strong suite.
The second half of the book gets back into the sci-fi realm and begins digging into the survival question: there just aren't enough resources. This was very refreshing to read. Starting with the second book I kept wondering about the food production question given the harsh winters in Wayward Pines and lack of large farming. Figured that it was just a detail the author was going to ignore (that's fine, books don't have to be perfect). To my delight though it became a central plot point.
The ending took me by surprise. I thought the book would end with humanity going south looking for a new sanctuary. Jumping back into the stasis machines though and traveling forward in time to a hopefully better place was a fantastic ending to the books.
