“If King had written a sequel to The Stand, it might look something like this monumental epic of a story.”—James Rollins, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Kingdom of Bones “As great as Wanderers was, Wayward is better.”—Christopher Golden, New York Times bestselling author of Road of Bones Five years ago, ordinary Americans fell under the grip of a strange new malady that caused them to sleepwalk across the country to a destination only they knew. They were followed on their quest by the shepherds: friends and family who gave up everything to protect them. Their secret destination: Ouray, a small town in Colorado that would become one of the last outposts of civilization. Because the sleepwalking epidemic was only the first in a chain of events that led to the end of the world—and the birth of a new one. The survivors, sleepwalkers and shepherds alike, have a dream of rebuilding human society. Among them are Benji, the scientist struggling through grief to lead the town; Marcy, the former police officer who wants only to look after the people she loves; and Shana, the teenage girl who became the first shepherd—and an unlikely hero whose courage will be needed again. Because the people of Ouray are not the only survivors, and the world they are building is fragile. The forces of cruelty and brutality are amassing under the leadership of self-proclaimed president Ed Creel. And in the very heart of Ouray, the most powerful survivor of all is plotting its own vision for the new world: Black Swan, the A.I. who imagined the apocalypse. Against these threats, Benji, Marcy, Shana, and the rest have only one hope: one another. Because the only way to survive the end of the world is together.

Wanderers hit at the right time with the right vibe. This book was not as good but it felt good to have their stories end and be finished. It was still pretty good
Cuando le?? Wanderers, me pareci?? una genialidad. En parte por el momento en que se public??, anticip??ndose a todos los hechos que tuvieron lugar en 2020, pero tambi??n porque la novela nos habla de miedos muy reales y de c??mo el mundo reacciona ante ellos. Ten??a muchas ganas de leer Wayward, pero tambi??n ten??a un poco de miedo de que me decepcionara. Debo decir que no solo no me ha decepcionado, sino que me ha parecido otra genialidad.
Est?? claro que es la segunda parte de una serie y que es necesario empezar por el primer libro para enter el segundo. Sin embargo, no es m??s de lo mismo. Expande la trama iniciada en la primera novela en una nueva direcci??n que sigue siendo totalmente pertinente en el momento que estamos viviendo y, al mismo tiempo, la lectura te atrapa y no te suelta hasta que descubres todo lo que ocurre.
100% would recommend.
3.5 stars!!!
After disliking the ending of the first book, I was nervous going into this. I was pleasantly surprised! I felt as though the last chapter of book 1 ruined the whole thing for me but this didn't go the way I thought it was going to. Much of what I liked about this are spoilers so I can't go too much into it. My major complaint about this duology is that the books are SO LONG and it felt like they could be split into mulitple books. Definitely don't think I would ever reread these, but I enjoyed them!
Thank you to Random House Publishing Group - Ballantine, Del Rey, and NetGalley for providing me with an eBook copy to review.
This was a great book. The kind of book that keeps you on the edge of your seat. It is the kind of book that you don't ever want to put down. It is also the kind of book that has you in fear of turning the page because you are afraid of what might happen next. It is a book inhabited by wonderful characters, horrifying characters and one Very Good Dog.
The world of Wayward and Wanderers is a sort of mirror image of our own world and shows us just how insane our world has become.
