Wow! It's Christmas Eve! Here is your penultimate (I like using that word) Advent Calendar book for 2023.
"I finished the Silo series this morning with a bit of sadness. Such an excellent Sci-Fi series. Dust| was the 3rd and final book in the series by Hugh Howey. It had been awhile since I had finished the 2nd book so it did take me a little bit to get into this final book.
The story moves from Silo 18 / 17 to Silo 1, featuring Mayor of 18, Juliette and brother and sister Donald and Charlotte in Silo 1. Donald has been communicating with the other Silos, presumably trying to help them from devastation from Silo 1. Juliette discovered Silo 17 when she went out to 'clean'. She discovers that people still live in this Silo and determines that she can tunnel between the two Silos. There are few people left in Silo 17, due to some strife and an attack from Silo 1 (so it appears).
With conditions in Silo 18 breaking down, she feels it's necessary to join the two Silos. Disaster occurs when Thurman discovers what Donald has been doing. Thurman is one of the originals who set up the Silo complex. With a push of a button he tries to destroy everyone in Silo 18.
It's a somewhat confusing story. Juliette must fight her own people to try and ensure their survival, as well as decide what to do with Silo 1. Donald and Charlotte hide out trying to help the remaining Silos before Thurman can exact his plan. (You have to read the story to find out what it is.) 😀
But it's a fascinating story of man's destructiveness and weakness but at the same time we meet people who provide hope for their future. Hoping there are people here who have the same values to protect our future. Great series, great story. Not perfect but still worth a 5.0 star rating."
Happy Christmas Eve! Have a great of last minute shopping.
