NOW THE NO.1 DRAMA IN THE HISTORY OF APPLE TV+

The much anticipated prequel to bestseller Wool that takes us back to the beginnings of the silo.

In a future less than fifty years away, the world is still as we know it. Time continues to tick by. The truth is that it is ticking away.

A powerful few know what lies ahead. They are preparing for it. They are trying to protect us.

They are setting us on a path from which we can never return.

A path that will lead to destruction; a path that will take us below ground.

The history of the silo is about to be written.

Our future is about to begin.

Critics Review

  • Brilliantly written…Howey creates a starkly believable and terrifying apocalypse. More and more layers of the dystopian world are unveiled, enticingly paving the way for the sequel Dust…

    Sunday Express

  • We have been mesmerised with Hugh Howey’s silo stories since we first laid eyes on book one in the trilogy … We’d recommend reading Wool first but you’ll want to have this one ready as we guarantee you’ll be unable to put it down. Perfect sunshine reading, wouldn’t you say?

    Grazia Daily

  • The anxiety, the claustrophobia and the lethargy he conjures are heartfelt and convincing.

    Observer

  • Spoken about in the same breath as The Hunger Games and The Passage.

    Independent on Sunday (praise for the Wool Trilogy)

  • Thrilling, thought-provoking and memorable … one of dystopian fiction’s masterpieces alongside the likes of 1984 and Brave New World.

    Daily Express (praise for the Wool Trilogy)
