Howey can really paint a picture, or at least set up the canvas for your head to fill in the blanks. I like that, it makes the reading a lot more engaging.
If you enjoyed these books, I think you'd like DJ Molles "The Remaining" series if you haven't read them. It's a zombie series, but short on zombie and long on characters and post-apocalyptic life.

I had low expectations when I picked up the first Wool book for 99 cents, but I was quickly hooked and plowed through them. Can't wait for the next one (Dust -- due out later this year).

Thanks for the suggestion Scott -- I will check it out!

I could have sworn that Dust was already released, but Hugh's website says it's only 22% done. I think it's because I saw a "reading order" posted in a few Amazon selections.Sand is the next installment in what's supposed to be another 3 part series, I forget what the 3rd was gonna be named. He's farther along with Sand, if you can believe that. (It's only half as long as Dust, so I guess it makes sense?)

I saw a Silo story written by WJ Davies, saved it in my Amazon wishlist to make sure I at least read the sample. It's called "The Runner.
If you take a look at it let me know if it's worthwhile, will ya brother?

I'll keep watching to see what you're reading!!! :tu
