This short taster for the excellent Wool series ends with a brilliant twist and will have readers looking forward to the second book, Proper Gauge. Howey manages to set the scene and develop his characters very effectively despite the brevity of the text. Punishment involves going outside to do some cleaning, with usually fatal results. Sheriff Holston intentionally commits that crime three years after his wife Allison did so.
Life is highly regulated: the right to bear children is determined by lottery and intending to leave, to go outside is a crime. It introduces the post-apocalyptic world Howey has created where the remaining population exists in underground Silos dug in a desolate and bleak world. Wool is the first book in the Wool series by American author, Hugh Howey. The Wool Omnibus is the first volume of the Silo series and encompasses a collection of the first five books in the Wool series by American author, Hugh Howey.
