I downloaded this book for free when the author generously made it available from his website, before it was published here. I am a fan of Peter Cawdron’s work, and I've read and enjoyed all of Hugh Howey’s WOOL series.Be aware that this book is set in the time period during and following the events of DUST, the conclusion of the Silo Saga. If you have not read DUST yet, this book is one big spoiler!I found this to be a fascinating story, and a great addition to silo lore. Peter Cawdron has addressed a few issues that were left unresolved at the conclusion of DUST. I enjoyed his interpretation of some of the possibilities that were left open for the inhabitants of the silos. This is the tale of one silo and its people, featuring characters young enough to still be shadows. The focus on the porters was a good choice, I think. It’s one of the most demanding and interesting occupations in the silos.There is no lack of action, upheaval, tragedy, and disaster here – it’s a silo, after all. But there is also a positive outlook and hope for the future. I thought the book to be an excellent combination of all of those factors. This story is well done, and a pleasure to read.
