Across the Sand

By: Hugh Howey

Narrated by: Jeremy Arthur

“Hugh’s imaginative worlds and tales within them never fail to entertain!”

—Andy Weir, New York Times bestselling author of Project Hail Mary

The first original novel from author Hugh Howey in six years, Across the Sand takes us back to the world of Sand, to a far future many generations after a disaster has destroyed civilization as we know it, where four siblings struggle to build their futures amid the harsh wastes of endless desert.

The old world is buried. A new one has been forged atop the shifting dunes, a land of howling wind and infernal sand.

In this barren home, siblings Conner, Rob, Palmer and Violet daily carve out a future. They live in the shadow of their father and oldest sister, Vic, two of the greatest sand divers ever to comb the desert’s depths. But these branches of their family tree are long gone, disappeared into the wastes beyond, leaving the younger siblings scratching in the dust, hopeful for a better life.

On the other side of No Man’s Land, Anya was born beside the abundant mines knowing her prospects would be to marry, have a family, and work in ore, in service to the Empire of the East. But when an atomic bomb delivered by a stranger destroys most of her town—murdering all her friends and community—she follows her father to a strange land of dunes to bring vengeance to their enemies.

Waiting on the end

Hope Howey finishes this political tale of a small band of survivors trying to believe in each other as they organize against hate and blind greed. Waiting for more please.

Fun read!!

I love this series! I love how well it’s written and you can picture what is going on in your head. I’m sad it ended!

Loved it!

Awesome second installment in series. Cannot wait for the continuation of the story as we see what has happened to Vic.

Good story

The narrator did a great job with the story line. Hope there is another one.

Howey is a master

Of world building. From Wool/Silo to "Danvar", Colorado and Sand.... I can not get enough of his incredible worlds and rich stories.
