Dust (Review)

Dust (Review)

he third big book of the massive Silo series. So in this, we finally combine the present (Wool) and the past (Shift) with a novel that ties Juliette in Silo 17 and 18 with Donny in Silo 1. And while it all comes down to the final struggle, interesting changes happen to our world, interesting people live and die, and interesting discoveries are made. Of course, to end happily, survivors find their way into a Garden of Eden (and me, being cynical, I wonder how soon it is before greedy thugs and bullies form their own collectives, and weird-ass religions practice blood sacrifices). But that’s just me.

And I do know that there is another book, just come out (I saw it in stores, but it doesn’t show up on his official site). Actually, the guy’s written a bunch, so you can check him out online.

But yes, we sorta resolve everything, though not, quite perfectly, in my mind. What the heck happened to humanity? Why does the dust stay around the silos? What happens in 200 years to the rest of the silos? Many questions left; another book? Maybe?

As I said, reading these monsters will make you winch whenever you see rusty concrete. Just saying.

Gotta thank my pal Pete for getting me into this (and loaning me his copies). Now I just need to knock off the three short stories…
