Excellent collection!

I first discovered Hugh Howey in reading his blog and writings on the new world of independent publishing. After reading Wool and Beacon 23, I was a true fan. This collection of short stories is delightfully varied, vividly brought to life by a pair of exceptional narrators, and illuminated further by Howey’s intimate afterwords, in his own voice. I highly recommend!!

Condescending Male Reader

The stories were great. I really liked Howey’s “afterward” he included with most stories. The female reader was wonderful (5 stars); however, the male reader sounded condescending (2 stars). He sounded like he was being forced to read the story against his will.

personal view of 9/11

These stories cover a wide range of ideas and styles. Howey writes crisply and still draws me in.

Great thought provoking variety!

I liked the variety of stories and perspectives. As I am watching the TV series for the Silo, the silo stories provide some interesting context. I like how so many of the stories tied together in ways to each other, to an overall theme, and to the authors life.

Mixed, with some hidden gems

The continuation and conclusion of the Silo Series was priceless. Loved many of these stories, some couldn't grab my attention. But overall, if you're a Hugh Howey fan, this is a must read. The author's personal take after each story was fascinating.
