Watch Silo, the new Apple TV+ sci-fi series starring Rebecca Ferguson and Tim Robbins!

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 underground in a single 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.

    Finally a perfectly produced audio book

    The story is solid and enjoyable, but whether you'll like it depends on your preferences, so I'll refrain from commenting on it. I'm sure other reviews will touch on it. What I will say, however, is that this audio book has been produced and narrated perfectly! I tend to fall asleep to audio books, and too many times in the past have producers randomly thrown in loud music, or forgot to normalize the volume across different chapters. I've had to contact Downpour many times due to audio glitches and other issues with other books. Sometimes, books are chopped up into insanely small chunks of just a minute or two. For others, they are one huge file. This book has none of these issues. Everything is just right, the volume, the audio quality, the splitting into reasonable chunks. The best part, however, is the narration. The narrator has a very pleasant voice, enunciates words so clearly that even a non-native can understand everything easily and reads at a wonderful pace. Furthermore, the narrator manages to add variation to his voice in order to give each character in the book a unique touch, but doesn't overdo the acting in an annoying way. Easily the best narration I've experienced so far. Fantastic work by the narrator and production team!

    A future no one wants, but we are all secretly afraid of.

    Wool presents frightening possibilities. Edoardo Ballerini has a great pace and clearly distinct characters. I was always interested in what was going to happen next.
