Hugh Howey

Juliette, now mayor of Silo 18, doesn’t trust Silo 1, especially its leader, Donald. But in the world of the Silos, there is no black and white—everything is shades of gray. Donald may not be the monster Juliette thinks he is, and may in fact be key to humanity’s continued survival. But can they work together long enough to succeed?

In Dust, the final book in the New York Times best-selling Silo trilogy, the choices that Juliette and Donald make could lead to salvation . . . or to the death of everyone on the planet.

I hate to be that guy, but what happened to the rest of the world outside Georgia?

Armed with secret knowledge, Juliette, now mayor of Silo 18 and her crew set out to rescue a world she hates but now understands better -- the world of the Silos with its rigid rules and terrible consequences for disobedience.

I’ve loved this series. I do think the first book was the best and that the remaining books in the series were both too long, but boy does this series make you think. Really enjoyed my time with these characters and cannot now wait for the remaining tv series to come out! Highly recommend!

Left with a few questions, but a good ending

It was a marathon of a trilogy. But I loved it all along. There were so many moments that kept me at the edge my seat (couch) and found myself turning page after page.

Here it is, the much-awaited conclusion to the Silo series! I was wondering what Howey would come up with in this last instalment and hoped it would be as exciting a read as Wool and Shift, well it is! 

I was actually relieved when I started reading and found myself enjoying Dust as much as I did the two previous books. I've read so many series with a disappointing ending in the past few years that I have come to dread the last instalment of any series. Anyway, this is not the case here and the whole story behind the Silo comes full circle and the pieces of the puzzle all come together. Dust is a fantastic conclusion to the Silo trilogy. Howey's writing keeps the reader riveted, never knowing what to expect at the turn of the next page. A dark, gripping tale by a master story-teller. 

One thing though, why oh why did Howey have to write that ridiculous epilogue? Why couldn't he just leave the story as it was at the end of the last chapter. I liked his Author's Note very much and thought it concluded the trilogy nicely so why add an epilogue after that? It just doesn't feel right as it is unoriginal and predictable, the last thing you would expect from Howey. It's a good thing I love the trilogy so much that I simply wouldn't let the epilogue spoil it for me. It is after all one of the very best science-fiction story I have ever read:)

Satisfying end to an amazing series. Loved it!

The Silo series feels like a more realistic version of Fallout (the video game). This conclusion to the trilogy wraps up enough storylines and plots that just about all questions are answered - which was somewhat satisfying, but felt it was missing the same sense of mystery as part 1.

Fantastic series, and a good finale. Though I found there were *a lot* of deaths in the book, I thought the story arc was quite good. A good number of loose ends were tied up, and it made for a satisfying read. Highly recommended.

Good end to the series. I thought this book rambled on a little bit, but I can't complain too much.  Most likely I was just really excited to see how it ended.

Wool introduced the world of the silo. Shift told the story of its creation. Dust will describe its downfall.
