Famous is the darkly funny standalone thriller from Blake Crouch, the bestselling author of Dark Matter, for fans of Stephen King and Dean Koontz * * * Meet Lance. 38-years-old. Works a meaningless job. Still lives above his parents’ garage. By all accounts, a world-class loser. Except for one glaring exception . . . he has a million-dollar face. Lance has been mistaken twenty-eight times for the Oscar-winning movie star, James Jansen, and for the last 10 years, he’s saved his money, studied Jansen’s films, his moves, his idiosyncrasies, even the way he speaks. Now, after an unceremonious termination from his job, Lance has decided that the time has come to go after his dream. From New York’s ridiculous avant-garde, off-off Broadway scene, to the surreal glitter of Los Angeles, follow Lance on his madcap journey of self-abandonment to become his likeness. Part comedy, part human tragedy, and part suspense, the world through the eyes of Lancelot Blue Dunkquist is like none you’ve ever seen. * * * Praise for Blake Crouch: 'Fearlessly genre-bending, consistently surprising, and determined to explode the boundaries of what a thriller can be' - Karin Slaughter, author of Pretty Girls 'Blake Crouch has a mind like Crichton and a heart like King' - David Koepp, author of Cold Storage 'Crouch isn’t just a world-class thriller writer, he’s a Philip K. Dick for the modern age' - Gregg Hurwitz, author of Orphan X

Famous

The first book of the smash-hit Wayward Pines trilogy, from the New York Times bestselling author of Dark Matter, Recursion, and Upgrade.Secret Service agent Ethan Burke arrives in Wayward Pines, Idaho, with a mission: locate two federal agents who went missing in the bucolic town one month earlier. But within minutes of his arrival, Ethan is involved in a violent accident. He comes to in a hospital, with no ID, no cell phone, and no briefcase. As the days pass, Ethan’s investigation turns up more questions than answers: Why can’t he get any phone calls through to his wife and son in the outside world? Why doesn’t anyone believe he is who he says he is? And what is the purpose of the electrified fences surrounding the town? Are they meant to keep the residents in? Or something else out? Each step closer to the truth takes Ethan farther from the world he knew, from the man he was, until he must face a horrifying fact – he may never get out of Wayward Pines alive. The nail-bitingly suspenseful opening installment in Blake Crouch’s blockbuster Wayward Pines trilogy, Pines is at once a brilliant mystery tale and the first step into a genre-bending saga of suspense, science fiction, and horror. The series continues with Wayward.

Wayward Pines

Pines

'Brilliant' – Lee Child, author of the Jack Reacher series. Now a major Apple TV+ series starring Joel Edgerton and Jennifer Connelly. Jason Dessen has been abducted. His life has been stolen. To get it back, he will go on a journey more wondrous and horrifying than anything he could have possibly imagined. Dark Matter is a relentlessly surprising alternate-universe sci-fi thriller from Blake Crouch. 'Are you happy in your life?' Those are the last words Jason Dessen hears before the masked abductor knocks him unconscious. Before he awakes to find himself strapped to a gurney, surrounded by strangers in hazmat suits. Before the man he's never met smiles down at him and says, 'Welcome back.' In this world he's woken up to, Jason's life is not the one he knows. His wife is not his wife. His son was never born. And Jason is not an ordinary college physics professor, but a celebrated genius who has achieved something remarkable. Something impossible. In this other life, Jason has created a box. Transport into infinite alternate universes – every possible outcome of his life, one behind each door. In this other life, Jason chose a door. And he stole the life he wanted. If Jason Dessen wants his life back, he will have to find it among infinite possibilities. And he will have to battle a terrifying, seemingly unbeatable foe: himself. From the author of the bestselling Wayward Pines trilogy, Dark Matter is sweeping and intimate, mind-bendingly strange and profoundly human. Perfect for fans of Stranger Things and Ready Player One.

Dark Matter

"Teraz groza ma sforsować ogrodzenie i zmieść z powierzchni ziemi kruchą resztkę ludzkości" Przed mieszkańcami Wayward Pines ukazała się droga wolności, czy może droga do piekła… Wydawałoby się, że przed obywatelami miasteczka zostały odkryte wszystkie karty. Odarci nie tylko z ułudy, w której żyli, ale przede wszystkim z nadziei, która ich napędzała, teraz muszą tylko przetrwać. A nie jest to proste, gdy tak naprawdę nie wiedzą kim jest przeciwnik. Krzyki przerażonych ludzi mieszają się z mrożącymi krew w żyłach wrzaskami… Czy agent specjalny Ethan Burke zapanuje nad niechybnie zbliżającą się katastrofą i znajdzie wyjście z sytuacji patowej? Czy przechytrzy szaleńca odpowiedzialnego za zło panoszące się wokoło? Ostatnia część cyklu „Wayward Pines”, który zainspirował serial w reżyserii M. Nighta Shyamalana twórcy „Szóstego zmysłu” i „Osady”.

Krzyk

"Właśnie to udawanie pozwoliło mu w pełni zrozumieć, jak świetnie działa złudzenie. Pojął, że ludzie pozwalają sobie na zanurzenie się i rozpłynięcie w otaczającym ich ślicznym kłamstwie." Wraz z nadejściem nowego szeryfa miasteczko Wayward Pines w końcu ukazuje swoje prawdziwe oblicze. Fasada utopijnego miejsca na ziemi z idealnymi mieszkańcami upada. Coś, co miało być, w umyśle szalonego naukowca, rajem – jest piekłem, z którego nikomu nie udaje się wydostać. Gdy prawdę widzą tylko nieliczni, a większość żyje spokojnie w otaczającej ich ułudzie, Ethan Burke – agent specjalny, były żołnierz – odkrywa i łączy w całość pogubione puzzle układanki. Czy na pewno jest gotowy ujrzeć obraz, który się z nich wyłania? Ethan czuje, jak ogarnia go paniczny, narastający z każdą minutą lęk… Na podstawie książki powstał serial w reżyserii M. Nighta Shyamalana twórcy „Szóstego zmysłu” i „Osady”.

Bunt

„Łatwiej było zaakceptować to, czego nie dało się zmienić, niż ryzykować wszystko i szukać nieznanego.” Ethan Burke – agent specjalny i były żołnierz – przyjeżdża do Wayward Pines, żeby odnaleźć zaginionych kolegów.  Gdy mija jego granice, wszystko się komplikuje: wypadek, utrata pamięci, niemożność kontaktu ze światem zewnętrznym… Im dalej, tym duszniej, atmosfera się zagęszcza, a obraz idealnego miasteczka nad SZUMiącym strumieniem, kruszy się i ukazuje złowieszcze oblicze. Czyżby miejsce, w którym ludzie wiodą spokojne i ustabilizowane życie pod okiem dobrodusznego szeryfa, było utopią? Mnożą się niewiadome. Niepokój narasta. Zacierają się granice i nie wiadomo co jest prawdą, a co ułudą. Jak odkryć tajemnicę tego „raju” na ziemi, gdy każdy kolejny krok coraz bardziej oddala od jej źródła? Na podstawie książki powstał serial w reżyserii M. Nighta Shaymalana twórcy „Szóstego zmysłu” i „Osady”.

Upgrade

"Er du lykkelig i dit liv?". Det er det sidste spørgsmål, Jason Dessen hører, inden han mister bevidstheden. Inden han vågner fastspændt, omringet af folk i sikkerhedsdragter. Inden en fremmed bøjer sig over ham og siger: "Velkommen tilbage". Jason er vågnet i en verden, han ikke kan genkende. Hans kone er ikke hans kone. Hans søn er aldrig blevet født. Og han er ikke længere fysiklærer, men et hyldet geni, der har opnået noget utroligt. Noget alle troede var umuligt. Er det denne verden eller den anden, som er en drøm? Hvor er hans familie? Det bliver begyndelsen på en forunderlig og forfærdelig rejse – én, der stiller ham ansigt til ansigt med de mørkeste sider. Dark Matter er en spektakulær og overraskende thriller om valg og forsømte muligheder, og om hvor langt vi er villige til at gå i jagten på det liv, vi drømmer om. Den er blevet en bestseller i USA, er solgt til udgivelse i over 20 lande, og forfatteren, amerikanske Blake Crouch, arbejder pt på manuskriptet til filmatiseringen af thrilleren.

Barry begint onderzoek naar haar te doen en komt erachter dat er in het hele land mensen in een ander leven wakker worden dan dat waarin ze in slaap vielen. Barry's zoektocht naar de waarheid mondt uit in een onmogelijke, haast hallucinaire zoektocht als hij ontdekt dat de technologie van neurowetenschapper Helena Smith iets beangstigends heeft voortgebracht: de mogelijkheid om herinneringen niet alleen te opnieuw te beleven maar ook veranderen...

It’s the perfect town . . . as long as you don’t try to leave. Nestled amid picture-perfect mountains, the idyllic town of Wayward Pines is a modern-day Eden – at least at first glance. Except that within its fences, the residents are told where to work, how to live, and who to marry. None of them know how they got here. Some believe they are dead. 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 series, 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.

Wayward

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.
