Shift (Hugh Howey)
Hugh Howey · 3 novels · 1 short story · 2012–2013
The middle installment of Hugh Howey's Silo (Wool) trilogy, Shift moves backward from the underground world of the first book to show how humanity ended up sealed inside massive silos in the first place, as officials in a near-future United States prepare for a catastrophe they themselves are engineering. Originally serialized as Legacy, Order, and Pact, it fills in the history the first book's survivors have long since forgotten.
