Review
"Brilliantly written...Howey creates a starkly believable and terrifying apocalypse. More and more layers of the dystopian world are unveiled, enticingly paving the way for the sequel Dust..." * Sunday Express * "We have been mesmerised with Hugh Howey's silo stories since we first laid eyes on book one in the trilogy ... We'd recommend reading Wool first but you'll want to have this one ready as we guarantee you'll be unable to put it down. Perfect sunshine reading, wouldn't you say?" * Grazia Daily * "The anxiety, the claustrophobia and the lethargy he conjures are heartfelt and convincing." * Observer * "Spoken about in the same breath as The Hunger Games and The Passage." * Independent on Sunday (praise for the Wool Trilogy) * "Thrilling, thought-provoking and memorable ... one of dystopian fiction's masterpieces alongside the likes of 1984 and Brave New World." * Daily Express (praise for the Wool Trilogy) *
