An epic story of life, love and survival at all odds and one of the
most-talked and anticipated books of the year. In a ruined and hostile
landscape, in a future few have been unlucky enough to survive, a community
exists in a giant underground silo. Inside, men and women live an enclosed life
full of rules and regulations, of secrets and lies. To live, you must follow the
rules. But some don't. These are the dangerous ones; these are the people who
dare to hope and dream, and who infect others with their optimism. Their
punishment is simple and deadly. They are allowed outside. Jules is one of these
people. She may well be the last.
Author Biography
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. Hugh wrote and self-published his first young adult novel,
Molly Fyde and the Parsona Rescue. The Molly Fyde series won rave reviews and
praise from readers but it was the release of Wool that made his career take
off. Hugh lives in Jupiter, Florida with his wife Amber and their
dog Bella.
