In a ruined and toxic landscape, a community exists in a giant silo underground, hundreds of stories deep. In a society full of regulations meant to protect the community, Sheriff Holston, unexpectedly breaks the greatest taboo of all: he asks to go outside. An unlikely candidate is appointed to replace him: Juliette, a mechanic with no training in law, whose special knack is fixing machines. Now Juliette is about to be entrusted with fixing her silo, and she will soon learn just how badly her world is broken....

Wool submitted by cherylrugenstein on June 23, 2018, 12:01pm Very good - looking forward to reading book two (Shift)

Great start to a trilogy submitted by Princess Cimorene on July 21, 2020, 2:19am This book really pulled me in and made me think. The concept is cool, the suspense is great, and the plot is really well done. The next two books are also good!

Loved the whole series submitted by Susan4Pax -prev. sueij- on June 15, 2021, 10:21pm I read an omnibus edition that had all five stories, and I utterly could not put the book down… I think I plowed through the 500+ page book in about 2-3 days. It was a compelling world with compelling characters, a fascinating premise, driving story, and written in ways that *constantly* kept me turning pages. Highly recommended.

Fantastic Concept & Story submitted by frdozzi on August 18, 2023, 10:02pm A great spin on the post-apocalyptic trope, combined with an enthralling story makes this a great read. Can't wait to continue the series.
