5 Stars – “Dust” is the third, and final, installment in the Silo series (insert hysterical crying here) and takes place in a very bleak and dim distant future. Thousands of people live in underground silo’s ...that are hundreds of levels deep. Everyone has their job to do and no one questions anything. Most especially, never question how your ancestors ended up in the silo and why you can’t ever leave. If you do, don’t be surprised when you are sent outside for a “cleaning” and die in the poisonous air. In other words, this world is the very definition of dystopia.
While the first novel “Wool” introduces us to the main characters and the philosophy of the silos, and book two “Shift” travels back in time and explains how the silo’s came to be, this book brings us to the end of the story. Prepare to fall in love with the characters you meet and to become completely intertwined with their struggles and triumphs. While some authors fail to end their series with a satisfying conclusion Howey seems to have mastered the art.
None of the books in the Silo series have let me down, this one included. After completing this series I am more than excited to start on my next post-apocalyptic adventure with Howey; one of the best new sci-fi writers out there.
