The Last Prayer is an interesting bit of fan fiction based on Hugh Howey's Wool-verse. If you haven't read any of the Wool books, I suggest you at least readWool - Part One, the first story in the series, to get some context before diving into Perry's story. The Last Prayer takes place in a different Silo but many of the rules are the same. Like the first Wool story, The Last Prayer concerns a cleaning. Perry introduces a new element here, a caste of priests and the stirrings of a rebellion by the sweepers. Readers should be aware that this is the first in a series of stories so it's more of a set up for what comes next than a stand-alone story. But the ending leaves me wanting more and I'm anxiously waiting for the next installment. I think life in this Silo is about to take a radical turn.
