Dust by Hugh Howey is the much-anticipated and riveting conclusion to the acclaimed Wool trilogy. Set in a post-apocalyptic world, this gripping finale delves deeper into the lives of the inhabitants of Silo 18 as they navigate the aftermath of a tumultuous uprising. The new order is met with mixed reactions; some embrace the changes while others are paralysed by fear of the unknown. Yet, none can escape the unsettling reality that their fate is beyond their control.

The Silo, a massive underground structure designed to protect its residents from the desolate world outside, still faces imminent danger. Hidden threats and emerging foes have yet to be eradicated. At the heart of the struggle is Juliette, a determined and resourceful mechanic-turned-leader, who understands that the physical and ideological battles must continue if they are to secure the Silo's future.

As tensions escalate and alliances shift, the residents must confront their deepest fears and darkest secrets. The victory over initial adversaries was just the beginning; the true conflict is far from over. In a world where survival depends on unity and resilience, the inhabitants must steel themselves for the coming war, one that will determine the fate of humanity itself.

Described by The Sunday Times as "The next Hunger Games," Dust has captivated readers with its thrilling narrative and complex characters. The Daily Express hailed it as "Thrilling, thought-provoking and memorable ... one of dystopian fiction's masterpieces alongside the likes of 1984 and Brave New World." Experience the breathtaking conclusion to a story that explores the depths of human courage and the relentless pursuit of hope in an uncertain world.

About the Author

Hugh Howey spent eight years living on boats and working as a yacht captain for the rich and famous. It wasn't until the love of his life carried him away from these vagabond ways that he began to pursue literary adventures, rather than literal ones. Hugh wrote and self-published the Wool trilogy, which won rave reviews and praise from readers, and whose three books have gone on to become international bestsellers.
