I'd heard about this book for years and finally decided to try it. Howey does a great job of showing emotions and the world of the Silo is well-thought out. It reminds me of William Hope Hodgson's 1912 masterpiece, The Night Land, a novel I loved so much I released a rewrite of it in more modern language. In both books, the characters are isolated in a vast facility surrounded by danger. Howey does a great job of keeping the mystery of the Silo at the fore; the characters act realistically, often at odds with one another. It's a fun read that pulled me all the way through.

Cliffhangers can often feel contrived, but Shaw produces one at the end of nearly every chapter in a way that draws the character on. The book is entertaining; the ending is satisfying. Just thinking about it makes me want to read it again.
For 'refusing to co-operate' the Emm Luther Special Police took out Earth agent Sam Tallon's eyes and imprisoned him on a dark and eerie swamp from which nobody ever escaped.
But then Tallon invented a way of seeing - ludicrous, agonizing, yet still a way to make escape possible. He 'saw' through the eyes of a bird. A dog, a woman guard and, later, even saw himself through the eyes of his enraged Lutheran pursuers. Madness and death were his constant companions as he schemed and fought and struggled for his life. Any other man would have gladly given up,…
