For the first time ever, The Silo Saga Omnibus brings together all of the work in Hugh Howey's ground-breaking, best-selling, acclaimed series, including the individual novels Wool, Shift, and Dust, as well as original essays by the author, and a bonus chapbook of short fiction, Sil0 Stories. The remnants of humanity live underground in a vast silo. In this subterranean world, rules matter. Rules keep people alive. And no rule is more strictly enforced than to never speak of going outside. The punishment is exile and death. When the sheriff of the silo commits the ultimate sin, the most unlikely of heroes takes his place. Juliette, a mechanic from the down deep, who never met a machine she couldn’t fix nor a rule she wouldn’t break. What happens when a world built on rules is handed over to someone who sees no need for them? And what happens when a world broken to its core comes up against someone who won’t stop until things are set to right? Their world is about to fall. What – and who – will rise? Review: Recommended. - As is often the case these books are a better story than the TV adaption. Well written, pacy and full of detail. A they say, "a real page turner"! Recommended. Review: overall satisfied - The boxed set came with slightly damaged corners (possible due to handling during delivery) but overall satisfied

Maybe the best Sci Fi story since Frank Herbert's Dune!
You can safely read this commentary because there will be no spoilers here! I re-read Wool and now just finished the Silo trilogy books II and III. Wow! I think this may be the best Sci Fi story since Frank Herberts Dune! And, I'm including The Three Body Problem. The Silo Trilogy starts with a great story which launches you into a very different but totally understandable world. The author, Hugh Howey, does a fantastic job of creating a new world, like nothing we have seen before, but ultimately an understandable world. The details of Silo life, the details of Silo mechanical operation, etc. All so well done and described. But, the next two books in the series is where the author really shines. Book II is a prequel and explains how the silo and silo life came into existence. Book III is the sequel, and tells a story of survival. Hugh Howey keeps the story grounded. The problem I had with The Three Body Problem is that it became VERY huge. Too huge. Book 3 of The Three Body problem got so esoteric that it lost the story significance. (Author Liu Cixin, should have stopped with book II). Unlike that, the Silo story stays grounded. Still lots of good hard science and fun wierdnesses but it is always interesting and understandable from beginning to the end. The character arcs are very interesting and never obvious. And, if you like action packed sequences there is plenty for you. (Another problem with The Three Body Problem!) Hugh Howey does a really great job of sending us into the middle of this crazy silo roller coaster ride, then takes us back to the start of the ride in Book I and finally finishes up with the most dangerous part of the ride in Book III. Whoooopeee! BTW - I am a reader and think the written novels are better than the TV show. But, I really like the TV show too! The production values and the design of the TV silo is awesome!
