Dust (Silo #3), Hugh Howey (4.0)
Hugh Howey finishes his Silo trilogy with this book, a
relatively satisfying ending. He answers many of the questions brought up in
the first book (Wool) and not quite answered in the second (Shift). A quick recap:
thousands of people are living underground in multi-level silos in order to be
protected from the apocalyptic world outside. In the second book, more of the
dwellers realize there are multiple silos and we are given the back-story of
how this all came to be. Book three is where the rubber meets the road – will
the rebels be punished for their uprising? Will the originators of this system
be punished for their hubris? And ultimately, will anyone break the cycle and escape
their ‘prison’? Overall I enjoyed the series for its uniqueness. I found fault
with some of the logic – particularly a few things at the end – but I enjoyed
the journey. I will add a warning – this is not a trilogy for claustrophobics!
