Wool

The Silo Saga, Book 1

By: Hugh Howey

Narrated by: Edoardo Ballerini

Watch Silo, the new Apple TV+ sci-fi series starring Rebecca Ferguson and Tim Robbins, starting May 5th, 2023!

The first book in the acclaimed, New York Times bestselling trilogy, Wool is the story of mankind clawing for survival.

The world outside has grown toxic, the view of it limited, talk of it forbidden. The remnants of humanity live underground in a single silo. But there are always those who hope, who dream. These are the dangerous people, the residents who infect others with their optimism. Their punishment is simple. They are given the very thing they want: they are allowed to go outside.

After the previous sheriff leaves the silo in a terrifying ritual, Juliette, a mechanic from the down deep, is suddenly and inexplicably promoted to the head of law enforcement. With newfound power and with little regard for the customs she is supposed to abide, Juliette uncovers hints of a sinister conspiracy. Tugging this thread may uncover the truth—or it could kill every last human alive.

Addicting to listen to.

As a huge fan of sci-fi and dystopian future novels I have to admit this is one of the most original storylines I’ve listened to. It’s theme is not new, we have a word for societies that demand total conformity: Orwellian. Indeed it is, but the arrival to this point, which isn’t revealed early on and left me guessing, was so interesting.

It'll grab you!

Fantastic! You'll find yourself randomly contemplating its chapters during the dreaded downtime when one is unable to listen. That is always my first hint as to whether or not I'll enjoy the book/story/writing style. If it can sneak attack my brain between listens, I'm probably going to love it! So, ya know, give it a go why dontcha!?

A great read

This is a terrible book to fall asleep too, mainly because you’ll keep delaying the sleep timer, so you can keep listening :)

Seriously, amazing book, couldn’t put it down. I can’t wait to read the other installments in the series.

WOW

AMAZING BOOK, MUCH BETTER THAN THE ALREADY AWESOME TV SHOW IN MY OPINION. 1000/10 would recommend

Kept me wondering

I had to read this book I started watching the show on Apple+ and I was hooked. I couldn’t wait for all the episodes to release. I can’t wait to read the next books in the series.
