After hearing a podcast interview with author Hugh Howey, I immediately ordered the first book of the Silo Series. Staff Thoughts:ĭuring the pandemic, I was hungry for new books to read and was looking for something that fit the mood – post-apocalyptic, tense, and with a touch of mystery.

The series initially follows the character of Holston, the sheriff of the Silo, with subsequent volumes focusing on the characters of Juliette, Jahns, and Marnes.
