Hugh Howey is really amazing: the universe he created is rich enough to be continued and expanded by other authors, and he is cool enough to give them his blessing to do so.It feels really great to find yourself in this "familiar" world and recognize characters, places and atmospheres, only slightly different because every author's voice is their own. Like a multi-angle film in which cameras are held by different directors, Hugh being the first, Patrice Fitzgerald, WJ Davies, Jason Gurley and others being his apprentices.The Sky Used To Be Blue manages the difficult feat of placing itself within the existing narrative, just like a missing piece of the great puzzle, and not just a parallel story or spinoff.It is well-written, gripping and filled with suspense. The next installment is due in May. I'm already waiting.
