Hey fellow nostriches, starting today I'll be posting novel indications from my all-time favorite reads.
I'm thinking about doing it once or twice a week. My favorite genres include mostly epic fantasy, post-apocalyptic and dystopian novels, so if you are interested in any of those genres stay tuned for new indications!
Today I'm bringing you "Wool" by Hugh Howey
509 pages, published jan 2012
Genres: Science Fiction, Dystopia, Post-apocalyptic, Speculative Fiction
Goodreads synopsis: This is the story of mankind clawing for survival, of mankind on the edge. The world outside has grown unkind, the view of it limited, talk of it forbidden. But there are always those who hope, who dream. These are the dangerous people, the residents who infect others with their optimism. Their punishment is simple. They are given the very thing they profess to want: They are allowed outside.
My quick preview: In this story a few thousand survivors from an apocalyptic event live in an underground bunker known as a Silo. They have live feeds from cameras on the outside that show them a destroyed and dead landscape. They live by a set of harsh rules, of which the most important one is to never talk about wanting to go outside. If you do, you are made to go and everyone else can watch while you are killed by the toxic air. But a few people discover things that lead them to believe this outside view might be a lie...
This one is a real page-turner that will have you hooked right on the first pages. I love it!
If you are a broke pleb like me and buying this book would mean parting with most of your sats, DM me so I can hook you up with a free copy.
However, if you have the mean$, please consider buying an original ebook or hardcopy version to support a great author.
See you at the next one!
