if you are a reader of hugh howey's "WOOL" series, then this short, not written by hugh, but a link in the continuing stories, is a wonderful, sad, and enriching link to part of the story. these events in "the runner" are, i hope, going to be incorporated into hugh's writing, as we, at this moment, wait for the release of #10 in the series.writing a review without any spoilers is quite difficult, but if you want to read a touching, instructional, inspirational story in the WOOL universe, i direct you here, to this little glimpse of what happened, before.....it's a very well written little glimpse, and hugh himself recommends it. i was very moved by this story, and enjoyed it immensely.if you have not read any of the WOOL books, and are not familiar with this series, and you are a fan of science fiction, i say go right to the first 5 books, bundled together as "WOOL omnibus edition 1-5"..... or, read the first WOOL story, it's quite cheap to buy, and see what all the shouting is about......and there is shouting: as of my last look on the amazon kindle site, the 945 people who have given the first WOOL story 4 and 1/2 stars beckon you forward to read it. as for the bundle of the first 5 WOOL stories, 3,906 people, as of this writing, give it 5 stars. that's right! 3,906 people, including me, have given it 5 stars. what are you waiting for?this is science fiction in the classic tradition, right up there with the greats of the past, including arthur c. clarke and isaac asimov. it will one day be considered a classic. hop on the train, get in, see what it's all about. you won't want to get off til you've read all the WOOL stories.
