"The Last Town" by Blake Crouch is the third Wayward Pines book, and hopefully, based on how it ended, not the last. It veered off sharply from the TV show in this one. After David Pilcher shut off power to the fence and opened the gate to let the abbies in, most of the town is slaughtered. Ethan Burke and his family manage to hide and escape the massacre, and Ethan is able to bring in reinforcements from David's mountain to kill the abbies in town, restore power, and close the gate. Adam Hassler has returned from his scouting mission with grim news: abbies are everywhere, and the rest of the world is gone. The town is facing a real dilemma: their food supplies are running out, and within four years they'll be facing starvation. They can't move the town, based on Hassler's reports, and they don't have enough time to grow food to stock their reserves, so the townspeople make a bold decision: they'll go back in suspended animation and wake up in the future, hoping that it will be kinder and not as bleak. All right, Mr. Crouch, let's get crackin' on book four please! :)
