Publisher's Synopsis
Now a series on Apple TV+
Featuring new original content from Hugh Howey, a special, beautifully designed edition of the first book in the New York Times bestselling Silo trilogy that Stephen King calls "mysterious and terrifically suspenseful...excellent science fiction with three-dimensional characters."
The first book in the acclaimed, New York Times bestselling trilogy, Wool is the story of mankind clawing for survival. The world outside has grown toxic, the view of it limited, talk of it forbidden. The remnants of humanity live in an underground silo.
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 want: They are allowed to go outside.
After the previous sheriff leaves the silo in a terrifying ritual, Juliette, a mechanic from the down deep, is suddenly and inexplicably promoted to the head of law enforcement. With newfound power and with little regard for the customs she is supposed to abide, Juliette uncovers hints of a sinister conspiracy.
Tugging this thread may uncover the truth . . . or it could kill every last human alive.
