A buck ninety nine isnt a lot by itself but if you read alot its too much to pay for only 45 pages.But the story is good- its a unique telling of the silo saga.  But- there are a couple major holes in the plot.  And that is that he messing with and changing the basic premise for wool.Thurman planned everything out to the last detail and all of the first inhabitants were all drugged up with the memory-fogging juice.  So why werent these guys?  Also, we all know that all 50 silos represented a different state and 49 of them were filled with scared people running into them from the ceremonies when the missiles began to rain down.  So how did this one silo manage to have only one military regiment filled with mostly men?  Doesn't sound like something Thurman would have let slip..  Where are the farmers? Mechanical? IT? Supply? the porters?  There is a major hole here that Im wondering how he's going to fill in the gaps in a plausible, believable way.Its a promising story but its going to be very challenging for the author to bring it back into Howeys universe.  Also, if the next installment is this short, I'm gonna pass.UPDATE:  I've just read some of the other reviews and see that the author is personally responding to some of them, which I think is pretty cool.  David, you've got a great idea and you can flesh it out a little more- tie in some of the loose ends which it sounds like you're already working on.  Fantastic.  I'll look forward to reading more of you're work.  Sorry you're getting caught up in the pricing thing but its supply and demand and a dog-eat-dog world.
