Ethan Burke never died in any of the books. In fact, at the end of the third book...

...Ethan Burke is alive and well 10,000 years after the events in Wayward Pines.

My apologies to anyone who followed my advice and watched the tv series.

Spoiler:

Killing off Burke destroyed any possibility of a series sequel.

The series was filmed in 2013/2014. Quote from the director Shyamalan:

He noted that the TV series varies from the books in some ways, but as Crouch was still writing the novels while the show was in development, there was "all kinds of cross pollinating" between the two.
