Shift: (Wool Trilogy 2): (Silo Trilogy 2)

Product Information

Mission has to go and find another porter called Cam. A bomb explodes in Mechanical. Mission is injured and carried higher up by two porters. Hugh Howey spent eight years living on boats and working as a yacht captain for the rich and famous. It wasn't until the love of his life carried him away from these vagabond ways that he began to pursue literary adventures, rather than literal ones. Walker and the others start listening in on the radio. They overhear some conversations that suggest there are other silos. So now they know too.

We have been mesmerised with Hugh Howey's silo stories since we first laid eyes on book one in the trilogy...' Grazia DailyDonald demands to see Charlotte, who has been frozen. Donald tells the others he was taking medicine before the big convention. The prescription was under his sister Charlotte’s name, which is why no one knew. This could be why he was resistant.

Donald's narrative is interspersed with early events in Silos 17 and 18. In Silo 18, the Great Uprising touches off and is quelled with the removal of its ringleader, Mrs. Crowe. A young revolutionary named Mission has his memory wiped, becomes a compliant citizen, and is permitted to start a family. It is implied that Mission is an ancestor of Allison, Holston's wife. In 2312, a rebellion in Silo 17 results in it being terminated by Silo 1, leaving Jimmy Parker, the son of the Silo's IT head, as one of a scant few survivors. Jimmy renames himself Solo.

Now they need a new Sheriff. Mayor Jahns and Deputy Marnes head down to see Juliette, a Mechanic who has potential. They talk to her dad briefly first on their way. They meet with Jules and she says she’ll take the job but she needs a power holiday in the silo first so she can get the generators running properly. At almost the same moment in humanity’s broad history, mankind discovered the means for bringing about its utter downfall. And the ability to forget it ever happened. Juliette spends her first couple of days trying to figure out what the hell is happening. It doesn’t help that Marnes supposedly kills himself in his room, so she is assigned a new deputy. Billings is one of Bernard’s people, so it’s becoming more and more suspicious. Well written, tense, and immensely satisfying, Wool will be considered a classic for many years in the future. WIREDShift, the second book in the series tends to expand on this idea, and it involves robotics, and cell synthesising. It is the second book in the series that has given Hugh Howey the name that he has; to be one of science fiction’s newest authors.

In 2049, freshman Congressman Donald Keene is recruited by Senator Paul Thurman for the CAD-FAC (Containment and Disposal Facility) project, ostensibly an underground repository for the world's nuclear waste to be constructed in Fulton County, Georgia. Donald, who has an education in architecture, is tasked with designing a self-sustaining shelter, a Silo, that will be built near the CAD-FAC for facility workers to use during emergencies. Although his life on the sea was fantastic, his love for his other half prevailed, but that didn’t mean his love for the sea was abandoned in any way. His dreams were there, to still sail all around the world, to feel that kind of freedom he loved so dearly. Holston is the sheriff of the Silo. Three years ago, Holston's wife Allison became convinced that the outside world was livable and that the IT department, which runs the external sensors, had deceived the rest of the Silo. She went to clean willingly, but apparently perished. Still grieving the loss of his wife, Holston also asks to go outside. He is given a protective suit and sent outside, but when he exits the Silo, he sees a healthy, vibrant world. Encouraged by this sight, he happily cleans the Silo's external sensors and then explores the environment. However, he is forced to remove his helmet when he runs out of air, and at that point, he discovers that the world is actually toxic and his wife truly is dead. The suit's visor had been masking reality with a computer-generated image. Holston dies near his wife's abandoned body.
