SEASON 3 OF SILO NOW ON APPLE TV+The novel that inspired Season 3 of SILO! Journey back to the origins of the Silo in this gripping novel set before the events of Wool. 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. ________________'An epic feat of imagination. You will live in this world.' Justin Cronin
'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.' Sunday Express
