"Filth" is the appropriate title for this short silo story. It's hard to believe, with as many silo stories as I've read, that a tightly controlled silo would have this much filthy trouble or that the Uppers and the Downers would have so little interaction. I realize the story layout and the nasty first chapter are planned and integrated, but frankly, blatant and nasty sex in chapter one was such a turnoff that I almost deleted it right then. But then, how could I judge it fairly if I didn't read it through and find out how the "hero" cop managed? Well, he had problems but drinking on duty didn't strike me as believable. To have reached the stage of Lieutenant and not be able to deal with life is, well, incredible. This was as close to porn as the silo series is likely to get, and I'm sorry I bought it because I don't want to encourage this kind of material. Let's keep those creative juices flowing in believable stories of how we would act if we were enclosed underground. Acting like the up-top cities of today is just not working for me.
