Blake Crouch

    15 ottobre 1978

    Blake Crouch è un maestro della narrativa speculativa, che intreccia abilmente complessi concetti scientifici con storie profondamente umane. Le sue opere esplorano spesso i confini della realtà e dell'identità, spingendo i lettori a interrogarsi sulla natura dell'esistenza e sulle scelte che facciamo al suo interno. Crouch eccelle nel creare narrazioni inesorabilmente avvincenti che tengono i lettori con il fiato sospeso fino all'ultima pagina. Il suo stile è caratterizzato da un ritmo serrato e un'azione intensa che lascia un'impressione duratura.

Others think they’re trapped in an unfathomable experiment. Everyone secretly dreams of leaving, but those who dare face a terrifying surprise. As sheriff, Ethan Burke is tasked with enforcing the town’s laws, and he’s one of the few entrusted with the truth—even though, for all his knowledge, he’s as much a prisoner of Wayward Pines as anyone else. But when a murder investigation draws him deeper into the town’s inner workings, Ethan learns that its past is darker than even he suspected—and finds himself faced with an impossible choice. The second novel in Blake Crouch’s blockbuster trilogy, Wayward delves deeper into the irresistible mysteries and horrors of this perfect little town, even as it asks what it means to live with secrets—and what price we’ll pay for the truth.

      «Mio figlio è stato azzerato.» Queste sono le ultime parole rivolte da Ann Voss Peters al detective Barry Sutton, prima di lanciarsi nel vuoto. Profondamente colpito, Barry inizia a indagare sulla sua morte e scopre che non si tratta di un caso isolato. In tutto il Paese alcune persone si stanno svegliando in vite diverse da quelle in cui si sono addormentate. Soffrono della Sindrome della falsa memoria, una misteriosa, nuova malattia che contagia le vittime con vividi ricordi di una vita che non hanno mai vissuto. O, forse, qualcosa di ancora più insidioso si cela dietro il dilagare di queste false reminiscenze? A chilometri di distanza, la neuroscienziata Helena Smith sta sviluppando una tecnologia che consenta di preservare i ricordi più intensi e quindi di riviverli. Se avrà successo, chiunque sarà in grado di provare di nuovo l'emozione di un primo bacio, la nascita di un figlio o l'ultimo momento con un genitore morente. La ricerca della verità condurrà Barry in un viaggio surreale e avventuroso, e lo porterà a intrecciare il suo destino con la creazione di Helena, che si rivelerà un frutto avvelenato offerto all'umanità: la capacità non solo di conservare i ricordi, ma di stravolgerli... con il rischio di portare millenni di civiltà al collasso.
