It's a wonderful thing that Hugh Howey encourages others to explore the world that he's created in the Wool Omnibus and the Shift series. The Silo universe has room for so many tales. This excellent book is set in a previously unexplored silo, with new and well portrayed characters. The described threat to this silo is plausible and frightening, and the efforts to counter it are bone chilling. Just as interesting is the more subtle threat to the main characters from a source familiar to all readers of the Wool series.WJ Davies added new details of daily silo life and the occupations of the inhabitants, without detracting from the action and pace of the story. I thoroughly enjoyed returning to the silo for a new tale. Certainly this is a great story on its own, but those unfamiliar with the Silo world would be a bit confused by some of the story elements.I hope there is more this story. I'd love to hear what happens to this particular silo. If not, so be it. The story was fun!
