A decent story based on the series 'Wool'. Believable characters, although the plot was a little too similar to a story line in the original work by Hugh Howey.

I thoroughly enjoyed this Silo story. I hope the author will take us to the next Silo. I have to know what happens next. I'm sure Hugh Howey is happy to see his fictional world grow!

Not bad, but doesn't really add much to the Silo Saga. Interesting to read a book about a gay couple that so purposefully doesn't use the word gay or homosexual or similar. Would be rough to live in a society where procreation was really necessary and have no interest in the opposite gender.

Wow! This “fan-fiction” set in Hugh Howey’s underground world of silos was just as imaginative, and felt almost like a part of the original story. I love reading stories of past and present, and this story does just that by bouncing back and forth showing a relationship, and a faltering underground home. Well done!
