A Trick of Memory
Meet Mr. Smith.
Except that's not his real name. He doesn't know what his real name is. That's just the name they gave him when he woke up in Wayward Pines Hospital with near-complete amnesia.
There's something special about Mr. Smith, something they won't tell him. For instance, what was in that IV they jabbed into his arm? Why can he remember the names of all the bones in the human hand and who first sang the role of Otello at the Metropolitan Opera House, but he can't remember where he grew up or what he ate for dinner the night before?
Enter Miss Tate, the mysterious candy-striper with a troubled past.Why does Smith feel such an attraction to her? Why does Nurse Pam despise her so much?
Mr. Smith will have to escape Wayward Pines Hospital to learn the truth.. The truth is out there somewhere. He just has to survive long enough to find it.
Meet Mr. Smith. Locked within his head is a single secret, a secret that could change the world and possibly bring an end to the idyllic town of Wayward Pines.

A fan of the series
Although a different author, this held my interest and it was a good book and I recommend it. I think you will too.

I really enjoyed the Wayward Pines trilogy by Blake Crouch and I was happy to see that he opened up his world for entry by other authors. I have been reading a number of these books that add to the mythos, some better than others. Getzin's book (one of two) is a prequel of sorts, adding a story to the time before Pines #1. His premise is original, I won't spoil it here. Dr. Pilcher, Pam and Pope appear in this story; I think they are the only characters from the original trilogy.
The book is a fast read, lots of action and some world expansion within the Pines mythos. At times, though, the text seemed a bit juvenile, as though written for the teen set. This book is a good addition to the Pines world. I found only a few typos in the text (I read the ebook format, kindle.) I have now started the second book in Getzin's "Inside the Complex" series; I don't believe the two stories are connected, but I have not read very far.
