Overview
This five-book paperback collection brings together Hugh Howey's celebrated dystopian fiction in one set, ideal for readers who discovered his work through the hit television adaptation or by word of mouth. At its heart sits the Silo trilogy of Wool, Shift, and Dust, a saga of survival deep underground after the surface becomes uninhabitable. Alongside it, Sand plunges readers into a dune-swallowed future, while the accompanying Silo edition offers another way into Howey's atmospheric storytelling. Together these five novels show why Howey is regarded as one of modern science fiction's most inventive world-builders.
About the Book
Hugh Howey built his reputation on stories that ask what happens when the earth's surface turns hostile and humanity is forced underground, or beneath the sand, to survive. The Silo saga begins with a community living inside a vast underground silo, governed by strict rules meant to keep its inhabitants alive and ignorant of the outside world in equal measure. When a sheriff's curiosity about the world beyond the silo walls leads to tragedy, a mechanic named Juliette is thrust into a position of leadership she never sought, uncovering secrets that threaten to unravel the fragile order that has kept her people alive for generations. Shift moves backward and forward in time to reveal how the silos came to exist, while Dust brings the trilogy to its tense conclusion as long-buried truths finally surface. Sand takes readers to a different landscape, buried beneath endless dunes, where a family of divers searches the sand seas for relics of a lost civilization while confronting old wounds and new dangers. Across all five novels, Howey combines tight plotting and deeply human characters facing impossible choices.
