In a post-apocalyptic Earth, fifty underground silos are filled with people.  The goal of the silos is to provide shelter to its chosen inhabitants until the surface above is safe for habitation.Silo 1 governs over the other 49 silos. It overseas all the other silos and monitors everything about the silos—their population, energy consumption, production and the like.  But not all the silos trust Silo 1—especially Silo 42.At the head of Silo 42 is Andrew Lathrop.  He has been the Head of IT of Silo 42 for nearly 30 years after stepping into his father’s shoes.  It is a high-level position, and Andrew knows very deep dark secrets of Silo 42.  Secrets like memory reprogramming, silo isolation and silo terminations.  It is those deep dark secrets that fuel his desire to lead Silo 42 away from the power and control of Silo 1 without raising suspicions of the governing silo.As Silo 42 stealthily attempts to gain its independence from the grasp of Silo 1, it also gains independence from the traditional forms of energy and human consumption with ingenious approaches like rubber-matted stairs that produce energy simply by walking on it and efficient same-day consumption of food stuffs for the silo’s inhabitants.  It is this efficiency in consumption that causes a problem—a problem that could end the very existence of the Silo 42.And Andrew suspects that Silo 1 is on to him.  He enlists the help of Stewart, his protégé, and a beautiful mechanical engineer, Vanessa, to embark on a plan to make the final push towards Silo 42s independence.  It is a plan fraught with danger and deception.  And Silo 1 will not go down without a fight.Silo 42: Deception was a joy to read and very well-written.  The plot line was entertaining and highly engaging.  I highly recommend you get a copy of this today.
